She Had Travel On Her Mind - SOC Final Week

Our last week of Summer of Color - I can't believe how quickly it went by, and I'll definitely miss it.  Thank you Kristin for being such a fabulous hostess as always!    This week's colors were Sepia and Sage - two colors I love.
 
The page looks all wonky and not square because this journal has just become impossible to photograph.  Never again am I buying a journal that won't stay open, much less lie flat! The temptress of a store Anthropologie got me with the fabulous cover and inside pages that are all handmade looking and different from each other, but even as I was buying it a little voice in my head was warning me that I'd regret it.  Unfortunately I often ignore that voice!
 
And as much as I do love these colors I did feel the need to add some contrasting pops of color.

 
 
 
Also I found this today when I was downloading pictures from my camera.  We took my parents to Lake Tahoe a few weeks ago now that we've discovered a favorite spot, and my husband took some pictures of the squirrels that run around there. I just love this shot...

  17. Oh I do love your page - I think the heatwave here is making me delirious because for a moment I thought they were beautiful cold dollops of ice cream on cones! She really is beautiful and you have a wonderfully delicate way of shading. I know what you mean about the little voice - I don't think I've ever listened to it!! Anyway, I'm off for an ice-cream...
