Getting trip ready.....

I must admit I love getting ready to go on vacation.

I have to locate the perfect journal or make one.  Since I am staying put this year I decided to take one of each.  After much research on the web, I decided to try the Stillma and Birn mixed media ...Delta series.  I got it in the mail today and everything about it is perfect.  As I type, it has a coat of gesso drying on the cover awaiting its painting of the hillside town of Terni, Italy.....my destination.   Behind Miss Stillman B is the beginning cover of my handmade version.  The pages for this version are Venetian covered linen sitting in a stack waiting to be sewn into their new home.  Finished versions will be upcoming.

June

My favorite month...not too hot, not too cold......June.  Did some container gardening and major relaxing....,ahh, June.
