Next week is Map Week here on the blog!!

What does that mean?

• New map related jewelry!

• Map related tutorials

• And, a craft-along to make a travel journal!  

Each day check in for the next step to make your travel journal.  You can do it at night after work.  I'm breaking it up into 7 easy steps!

If you want to get your supplies ready this weekend, here's a list of what you'll need to get started for the travel journal :

• paper bags (the small ones are best, but try to recycled what you have around!  Or you can purchase a pack of the size you'd use for packing a lunch.  You'll need as many as the pages you'll want, and you'll want an even number.)
• tacky glue
• Glue sticks
• Old maps
• Scissors
• Other paper to use to embellish your journal
• Ribbon and other embellishments.

Make sure to check in for Day 1 on Monday for the Travel Journal Craft-a-long and for Day 1 of Map Week!  See you then!
