Going Buggy!

Project # 243 of this year

One of the fun memories I have from growing up is the camping trips we would take with all our aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins. We used to have a BLAST! We would go camping at Rocks Pond a lot, and I remember the mosquito truck going up and down the camping rows spraying mosquito spray.  Since that time, Rocks Pond has been destroyed by some hurricane weather, but it is mending and re-growing trees again. It looks totally different today than it does in my memories and in our old family photos.

This is page 2 of the mini album I started yesterday. On the front of the pages, I'm creating them using different themes from several different challenge blogs. I'm leaving the backs of the pages blank so I can just journal what's going on in our life these days.

The yellow eyelet you see on the side of this page is actually over 2 years old! I remember being so excited to finally get a Crop-a-dile and bought tons of eyelets. I think I have 3 left now. Wow. Time to go re-stock on those soon.

I also tend to hoard googlie eyes. I just love them! I'll buy different sizes of them and love using them this way on my projects. LOL
