weekend project

 love this  little journal ......  I  picked it up in a little boutique in calif.
i decided to  put our trip  to calif. in it.  I  started with the plane tickets ,  I printed 2x3 prints of the day by day  activities .

 I added reciepts and  business cards from the places we visited.

and also documented each days events !!
It went together fairly quick. I think it will be fun to look back on the little goodies i saved that you normally do not put in a scrap book
