Travel deck of cards

DIY Travel Deck of Cards

So this is something different that I wanted to share. This is my completed travel deck of cards. It’s a regular deck of cards that I DIYed by covering the backs up with plain white labels and took with me on all of my backpacking trips abroad. Whenever I’d meet and hang out with someone new on these trips, I’d have them tag a card for me. It’s kind of like my very own travel yearbook of sorts, but it’s functional at the same time. I never leave home to go on a trip without a deck of playing cards, so this acted as my personal trip yearbook and playing cards. Anyway, I finally completed my first travel deck of cards on my last trip to Europe and I wanted to share how they came out.

Definitely check out the small video below, where I just talk about this travel deck of cards and the idea of having a travel deck of cards and using it to remember everyone you meet on your travels. There are also close up footage of each set of cards from the four different trips I took.

Just wanted to share how my table at Highland Park Just wanted to share how my table at Highland Park’s Arts in the Park Fair looked on my feed. I was very happy and please with this year’s set up! 

It was such a gray and rainy day, but it was still a good one! My snippet journals won 3rd place in the juried show for the textiles category! That was such an unexpected surprise! x

Rating: ✩✩✩

I've been waiting a while for a new Sarah Dessen novel and I must admit, this is not my favorite. IDK, it felt a little confusing and all over the place in the beginning. She's usually really good at setting up the scene with all the relevant backstory towards the beginning of the story and I felt like that was missing from this one. We were literally just plopped right it. It was still an enjoyable read, but it wasn't her best. Also, I think this may be the first one that takes place in a completely new place outside of the Lakeview/Colby universe. Yes, the MC is from Lakeview, but the story takes place elsewhere, which I found interesting. x

I'm headed to Portugal in a few weeks for about 10 I'm headed to Portugal in a few weeks for about 10 days. Normally, I would make my own travel journal to take with me. But I've been so busy with work and making things for a craft fair I'm doing in September that I just don't have the time.

I purchased this beautiful embroidered passport-sized journal from @moonsideparlour a while ago and IDK, it just speaks Portugal to me! The embroidery is just so lush! And I love the vintage vibe. So I've decided to use it as my journal for this trip.

It's smaller than I'm normally used to, but its fits so nicely in my passport TN and for the type of trip I'm going on, I think it would be perfect. I anticipate that I won't have very much time to journal while on this trip, so having something small to stick things into will be great.

I am planning to prep the pages before I go and add a few things in to decorate the pages more so they are more me, as well as put together a small kit to bring along with me. But I've very excited to use someone else's journal for a change! x
