It was a holiday weekend here in the states this week which throws my whole week off. I kept thinking Monday was Sunday and I keep thinking today is Monday. Sigh. I have to remember that it is Wednesday tomorrow - Mum's birthday. I shall be ringing her later at night as she is going out with my sisters during the day.

I have most of my holiday stuff put away. I bought more than I thought. Now I have to get back on the no-spending wagon. I really need to start saving some more money as the holiday funds are all but depleted. We have one more mini-trip coming up mid-November - a autumn colour trip in the U.P.

Today I thought I'd share a few photos of my travel journal before I put it up in my craft room ready to use when I do Mum's photo album. I had this book at my Mum's from last year so I ended up using it. I got through more tape than I imagined, so I ended up buying some at my favourite shop The Works. It was only one pound! It looks to be the same stuff I buy here and easily pay 3 pounds for!

I really love making these. It's such a good way to hold onto memories and store all those bits I used to hold onto and never do anything with. I kept all my tickets, bought some postcards and picked up brochures.
