Scrapbook on the Road | Supply Kit

So, here is my little kit of supplies that I will take to work on my Scrapbook on the Road.

 

I am taking...

1. Black journaling pen (Stampin' Up)
2. Mono rolling adhesive
3. Stamp pad (Stampin' Up)
4. Small scissors (Stampin' Up)
5. Tiny attacher (Tim Holtz)
6. Corner rounder punch (EK Success)
7. Mini alphabet stamp set (Michaels)
8. Instax Mini camera
9. A baggie filled with pre-stamped images and journaling spots, a few jumbo playing cards (dollar store), file folder stickers (dollar store), tickets (dollar store), mini clips (Stampin' Up)

I will probably think of something else to take along, but those are the basics. Of course I will have to store the scissors in my checked luggage as they would be confiscated in customs (Canadian), so I will have to be creative with tearing anything I scrap up until I retrieve my luggage.

If you'd like, I have already posted about the pre-made album, which you can see here...

I am very excited to say the least! I leave for my trip on July 18th with 8 of my cousins. We are all flying from Calgary, Canada to Tulsa, Oklahoma to visit another cousin. We will be together in the US for 12 days, all us girls. I can just imagine the laughter and heart-to-heart talks already!

So, it feels like a dream. After spending 7 days on the beach in Mexico, we are tanned, rested and wanting to learn Spanish! The resort was more than fantastic and the food was the best I have had at a resort. We were never at a loss for something to do. Our biggest decisions were... to swim at the beach or at the pool? ...to eat at the cantina or the buffet? ...to sit in the sun or the shade? I know, tough!

Good to be home, though. We missed our girls. We kept saying over and over that they sure would have liked this. We know that they appreciate travel, but that they also understand that sometimes mommy and daddy need time alone. It is all good.

I will give more updates as I have time to sort through pics and get them edited.
