Have I Really Been Here Seven Years?Entry #653227
I'm not entirely sure, but I think this is the last entry for this blog. Being my 250th entry, I think that is all that is allowed for blogs. I could be wrong though.

Anyway, we leave the day after tomorrow on holiday. Are we packed and ready to go yet? Nope. Doing that tomorrow night and it won't take long. Getting the kids to put their suitcases together will usually go just as fast.

So far the skirt experiment is going well. Much more comfortable, especially the thin cotton skirts and dresses. You won't catch me in any shorts this summer!

I've been busy putting together a handmade art journal for my upcoming trip. Last night I painted several sheets of watercolour paper with paint washes and hung them to dry (the runny paint made interesting patterns that way!). Then I stitched them together with waxed linen cord and glued the signature to a handmade cover (I repurposed a piece of heavy cardboard from a tablet of tracing paper and then glued a pretty fabric to it). Once that all dried, I decorated the cover. Tonight I will add various clip art images I've gleaned over the years from magazines and whatnot. Then I'll paint added details, use my Sharpies to draw with, add some Whiteout pen for highlights, and just whatever else strikes my fancy. The pages will be ready for the last step: journaling! That will be the part I'll work on during vacation. When I'm done, I'll have a lovely handmade journal full of memories to enjoy.

Right now we're at the library and there's a free blues concert going on outside. Charlie is out there enjoying the music (I can see her through the windows). Eric's got his friend's PSP and is surfing the net. I'm just goofing off, really.

I'm taking this laptop with me next week, hoping I can get online at the KOAs we stay at. If not, oh well. I'm still going to use this thing to play movies for when the kids get bored. It comes in handy.

Well, I suppose this is it. I'll create a new blog if indeed this is the last entry. Thanks for reading!
