As much as I may want to get away from the bubble of light pollution I live in, we're in the suburbs for the foreseeable future. I love driving out to the 'country' (read: swamp) for a break and can handle time in downtown for an afternoon.

This was one of those pages that took forever because I kept going "ooh, what if I....?" and switching things out. There were too many little details I loved. (For example, I centered the map paper in the bottom square to be approximately where we were in Colorado.)

Sometimes a kit or a template seems made for a specific page. In this case, the template set (with its gorgeous greenery) called for a tropical-inspired kit with palm fronds and big leaves. Luckily, I had both the perfect kit and coordinating photos close at hand.
Ticket to Ride is one of the few board games we don't mind clearing the table for. Right now we're playing the junior versions but I have London waiting to go

The kit has some pink and teal in it but I feel like that just makes the timeless nautical appeal feel more fresh and cute ;)

I know the challenge was to make a general travel bucket list but I had at least 5 things I wanted to do *in the Keys* (and needed an excuse to buy both kits I used).

The majority of our May the 4th festivities this year centered around the *two* mini Lego sets I bought. I couldn't resist making a two page spread.

I saw the paper strip sketch and knew immediately I wanted to make a rainbow of papers. I also planned on using more elements but it turns out they were distracting from all the pretty papers ;) I settled for really sweet journaling for the kiddo.
I looked at the sketch on the NSD bingo board and immediately thought of porthole windows in a rocket ship. Well, trying to freehand one was too difficult for me so I settled for turning the half circle into the moon!
I have been saving this kit in hopes of getting to go back to Kennedy Space Center. I settled for getting to play with a template set that inspired me to revisit photos from a previous trip. Now I have ideas for our next visit...
I'm one of those people who will drop everything and run outside if there's a rainbow. I did it for these photos and I did it again this morning (photos to be scrapped eventually).
I love vibrant color and so it wasn't a tough sell for my mom to convince me to let her dye my hair back to the vibrant purple it's been since I was in high school. It also was not a difficult decision to play with a rainbow-y, super optimistic kit that just landed in my stash ;)
