Anticipating our Reno Trip
on the Motorcycle
I am really looking forward to our trip to Reno this June (2013). We are going to celebrate my losing 50 pounds!
On top of that, we are going to drive the new motorcycle there. It will be our first long distance trip on the motorcycle. We are going to attend the Street Vibrations Spring Rally in Sparks, NV, another first.
Our plan is to stay at the Atlantis Hotel in Reno & drive into Sparks for the Rally. That way if the Rally is too much for us, we can always go back to the relative quiet of our hotel & casino.
Used sketch from Got Sketch, Oct. 13. post. I always start from photos, then move on from there. My journal is always last. In journal based classes I switch it around. I do my journaling first, then work my lo around my thoughts.
I keep a gratitude journal and this was todays entry.
journaling reads cool crisp, autumn days* the first wood fires* warm hugs from little boys*soup simmering on the stove top*cold clear nights with stars that look like you can reach out and touch them*my husband’s hand in mine*the crunch of a crisp apple*crackling leaves under foot*Amazing colors that only God could paint*My family all around me*
This was on our trip to Israel in 2009 with Precept Ministries. Everyday we held Bible study in a different location. This day we were at Caesarea Theater and Kay Arthur was giving us all a visual walk through the Bible. I love her dearly she is a great Godly woman!!
I guess this might be considered "match matchy". The photos are black and white but layout matches of all three families. This is actually a digi paper that I printed out because I loved the colors. It was super easy but I'll call it a page for today.
Darn. I fell asleep last night before I uploaded my layout.
Anyways, here is my layout for "hearing". I didn't leave myself much journaling room so I journaled on the back. It reads, " Attending Superbowl XLV in Dallas, TX was a once in a lifetime experience I won't soon forget. And I'm not even a football fan. I've been to lots of sporting events in my life...other football games, baseball games, hockey games. But nothing compares to the energy in Cowboy Stadium that day in February. Chanting, cheering, booing, and even singing. The sounds of the crowd were almost electric.
A new puzzle this Spring with the addition of eight large jars. Took a while to figure out how to load!
One neighborhood over from mine, on the path to the Cabbagetown Mill building that collapsed from tornado damage last night.
It's been a great LOAD and I really enjoyed myself. Thanks to all for the encouraging comments on my layouts. It really helped keep me going. And all the amazing layouts I saw in the gallery sparked my creativity. Hope to see you all at the next one!
I've learned that no one knows you better that the friends you meet in grade school. I have known some of these gals for over 38 years. I am proud to call them sisters.

Yeah, I'll bet. Almost made me feel bad I didn't bring my laundry with me. I could have sat in there watching it spin or tumble dry or something exciting.
After we finished cleaning up the wood kiln, we noticed all the guys working on loading an old kiln into Steve's trailer.
You load the film just the same as you do with any 120 camera. The roll of film sits very neatly in the round chamber on the right, and I use two nickels on each end just to center the roll in the camera. It also assures me that the camera is worth at least twenty cents. I used to use a piece of folded plastic on the right side to keep the roll pretty tight, but I found that it didn't make much difference. A red window also has to be made in the door. You can drill a hole right through the whole door, once you've estimated where it needs to go. At first, I made the hole in the center of the door that gets 12 6x6 cm frames, but this camera's frames are more like 6x7, so they overlap and you lose a little bit of each frame, but you still get 12 frames around 6x5cm. There's no set of numbers on 120 film that works for the camera's spacing, which could ideally get 10 frames, but it's really hard to space them right. I ended up making a hole for the top numbers, which get 16 smaller frames, and I skip from 1 to 3 to 5, etc and get a good, reliable 8 frames per roll. I got fancy with my windows and cut out the red plastic to be an exact fit inside the holes and glued them in place with super glue. You could also just tape the plastic over the hole. I would do it on the outisde so it doesn't get in the way of the film going by. My red plastic is from the lid of a tub of sandwich meat.
It was my husband's idea to scrap this today using the prompt - I guess he means we gave up $1121.12 for love. I stupidly booked a flight to go with my husband to a conference for the wrong day and didn't realize until the flight had already left. We weren't upset about me missing out on a trip to Whistler, we were upset that we'd miss my ovulating later in the week. We were desperate to have a baby by this stage. So we paid to upgrade the unused portion of my ticket - I went and 9 months later our daughter was born. We joke that she was conceived in Canada and born in America to New Zealand parents. TMI for some people, but like I said, we were pretty desperate ;-)
