So I decided that I would take my Traveler's Notebook and create a mini travel journal about our vacation. I threw a few tools (my favorite mt masking tapes, water color paint, pencils and Polaroid PoGo with extra films.)
Whenever we had some downtime (usually during kiddos' nap time), I would pull out my project bag (aka SIWA round bag in red) and start filling the pages with all the great memories from the day. I loved working in the garden, on the patio... while breathing tropical air. I tried not to be too critical with how it looked (as I usually would at home being such a perfectionist)... instead just let the page to be what it wanted it to be. It was really meditative and refreshing process especially because I left all the connectivity behind and working on this book was all I needed to do whenever the little moment presented itself.
I took a "craft refill notebook" for Traveler's Notebook which has thicker papers that can take quite bit of moisture from water color paint. I loved its tear away details! I was able to easily remove the page from the notebook and use it as a postcard. I liked using the refill notebook so much that ordering more of those refills for the baum-kuchen shop was the first thing I did when I came home!
Now my travel journal is nicely put away in my archival binder and I can always go back to the fun time we had whenever I want to in my living room:)
