My Road Trip book is ready to start it’s journey around the country. It will physically travel to Tennessee, Florida, Washington and Illinois before returning home to me. I can’t wait to see the “trips” my fellow artists take inside the book.

These are the most incredible altered books I’ve ever seen. The artists name is Brian Dettmer.
I’ve added to my Road Trip cover. Now I feel like the cover is finally finished.
I also have finished my sign-in page. The pocket will hold all the vehicle sign-in tags.
I’ve been asked by a dear friend Theresa to join a new round robin. I picked the theme for my book…ROAD TRIP. The cover still seems as if it needs something. I’ll keep thinking…
As a kid nearly every summer we took a long road trip, sometimes driving across the country. I’ve seen every state west of the Mississippi River plus a couple east of it and 4 Canadian Provence’s. I miss the traveling, seeing out of the way places, eating at diners, setting up a makeshift camp.
So this is the beginning of my ode to the road trip…
The little van is my sign-in tag.
Each participant will decorate their own from the ones I’ve included.
With my first day “kid-free” for a couple of hours I finished up this project that has been nagging at me for quite some time.
I feel like I rushed the last page…can’t think of anything really clever to say. Maybe it will come to me later on. I did name the picture “Purrfect dinner” …that seems to fit.
I was surprised to find as many FDR quotes as I did that I actually liked. I picked this one for it’s fun yet very true statement and also that it was short enough to fit on the cover nicely.
Got to sneak in a little art today.
I’m determined to finish this book. One more set of pages and the covers to do.
Here are the pages I completed today.
Special thanks to Elizabeth for the blue handmade paper!!
This is my hand bound journal made from an old book cover with signatures of watercolor paper backgrounds and cardstock. Each of the 9 signatures is different adding to the very eclectic look of this blank journal. The inside is lined with some store bought handmade paper…if that makes any sense. :)
