{renee's} travel journal

I have been lucky enough to join in on a fun travel journal project with some blog friends this Spring! Marlene, Val, and Renee : ) These are my pages from Renee's minibook. She provided the prompts for each page, and here's what I came up with:

The photo above is my page on *what makes me smile*. I attached a cute teddy bear in the center and added journal strips around it with things that make me smile....

• driving through rainbows with my Mom
• my puppy Ponyo and his priceless moments
• handmade crafts
• fresh flowers in the Spring
• the laugh lines around My Sweetie's eyes
• wii dancing with my 5 year old niece
• special moments captured in photos
• the rain

And below was a *free page*, so I altered one of my digital layouts from February and printed it out to add in.....

This page was *name and any info you'd like to share* in your favorite color. I added a green paper with journaling about myself and stapled the label from my favorite drink right now.....

Here's my *favorite quote*. I used this DIY for creating the background to help make it all pop!

For this page, I handmade a vellum envelope to hold a *postcard* of Encinitas. And I thought the little ladybugs added a fun touch of Springtime.....

And I did something a little different for Renee's *sunset* prompt. Instead of sharing a photo of the actual sunset, I scrapped photos of what it looks like around my home during the sunset.....

This page was *make a wish*, and so here are my wishes.....

• one day to have a house of my own
• My Sweetie and I could live in Sequim, near my family
• to become a Tai Chi Master
• the dishes could magically clean themselves
• for peace and happiness for those I love

Here's *a picture of you* and any random facts of things that make you - you.....

• love to watch movies and listen to music everyday

I had a hard time with this one because my hand is so shakey: *doodle your name*.....

And this was one of my favorite pages, *favorite things to do in your city*:

• visit the beach
• take photos at the botanical gardens
• visit the Del Mar racetrack
• go to the Del Mar fair
• visit the museums at balboa park
• picking out pumpkins at the pumpkin patch
• ice skating at the Hotel Del
• visit the San Diego Zoo
• walk around La Jolla Shores

And that's it! March is probably the craziest month I will have all year, but I'll be sure to share my pages (once they're done) from Val's travel journal next <3 Carrie
