2012-01-09T07:15:00.000-08:00

One of the first things we have to do for the 2012 Caravan is to choose a word for this year. I've been thinking about different words, but finally decided to choose the word Freedom.

I couldn't read, I couldn't hear the TV, I couldn't study, we had to close all our windows and it never stopped. You must know it was like that almost every evening for months already. So this evening it was just too much. I opened the window and screamed as hard as I could. Days of frustration came out. Fortunately it hasn't been like that last Summer.

2011-11-22T11:39:00.000-08:00

I worked with one of the quotes from Itinerary #21, because it is so true! You can really have that feeling of relief when you achieved something difficult and have the feeling it wasn't as difficult as you expected it to be.
I used stuff from the Altered Junk series again: Paper Set 1, Coins 4, Butterfly Splats 3, Cutouts 3 and Cutouts 4. It's all in the Polka Dot Chicks shop at Scrap Delicious.

The Simply Started of Itinerary #19 is A Good Source... and the Verb is Map. I love maps, because they bring me in the vacation mood. My map of Nothern Italy has been used very often and it's getting old on the folding lines. But I still like it, because it has all my favorite places written on it!
All the quotes have a map theme too! So let's see if I make a layout about my Nothern Italy map or use one of the quotes.

Parcel #19 looks like this:
