Weather Makes a Difference

This was the scene on Thursday . . .

And this was the same scene less than 24 hours later.  It has been raining off and on ever since.

Three inches in the past 24-hours alone.  

All those thunderstorms have stopped me from doing much sewing or quilting, so instead I've been working with my paper projects.

I've been writing down four letter words in my traveler's journal.

I loaded them into a spreadsheet and alphabetized them so I could easily eliminate duplicates (there were quite a few) .

The edited list flows left to right across the two page spread.

And while I don't have a photo to share, the set of twelve pink collaged index cards are also done . . . 

. . . which meant I could use the extras to fill two more pages in the journal.

I added some larger items from the stash and even found a way to include the word JUBILATION cut from a magazine a long time ago.

Inspired by the name of @Ricki_ticki_tavy's Etsy shop, I've chosen BRICOLAGE as the name for my DIY Wreck It Journal.

Xanadu is nearly finished and we have a day or so with no significant percentage of rain predicted so it WILL be finished early week.

 I won't be able to gift it for another week or so which means I won't post the finished reveal photos until after the gifting happens.
