These days I have been doing quite a bit of wandering, and most recently I wandered around the Norwegian Cruise Line's Pearl -- a good place to ramble about and also a good vessel on which to cruise around Alaska' Inner Passage.

Our first day was spent at sea -- an unfortunately rainy, windy and rough day on the Pearl. The highlight of my day was a 2.5 hour workshop with Tim Holtz. The fruit of this workshop was an adorable little journal in which to collect our photos and thoughts from this adventure.

I loved working with Tim's Grungeboard and crackle paints; and the Heidi Swapp papers he supplied were beautiful and perfect for this project! Eventually I will process the rest of my photos and add them to little gem.
I will post more soon, but you see, tomorrow is my birthday, and I have "surprise" guests arriving from out of town in an hour, and a "surprise" party tomorrow night. (So glad I got a heads-up on this one!)
buon compleanno, leslie!!!! i cannot wait to hear more about your cruising adventure.
