Mapping 2014 With Jill Berry continued...

Hello, friends!

I must hurry through this blog post, my apologies. Oh, so much to do around here...

With company arriving soon!

As promised, I am sharing what I will now call, my completed map for the fun filled "Mapping 2014 with Jill Berry" challenge!

I would still like to color in my roads with graphite pencil.

I also decided, at the last minute, to leave the entire bottom left side blank. Since the map was created in my own, personal art journal...

I want to write about the experience!

I truly enjoyed being a part of the challenge!

Thanks so much, Jill!

Off to do some laundry now! I'll meet up with everyone, right here...

in a few days!

Labor Day Weekend & Picking!

Hello, friends!

 

I hope that your Labor Day weekend has been relaxing!

The hubby and I are now home after a trip to Iowa. If you are into collecting antiques, you may consider heading that way. We drove...

And stumbled upon many barn sales and antique malls along the way.

Our first stop was here. The sign on the highway read, "Barn Gypsies sale", with an arrow pointing towards a dirt road. We followed. It led us to a house on some land... Surrounded by barns and several vendors, displaying their treasures. Oh, what fun!

Once we enter Le Claire, Iowa, we already knew that we would be visiting "Antique Archaeology", the American Picker's shop.

We enjoy watching the tv show, so I just had to purchase a tank top with their logo on it!

We spent the remainder of our time in Iowa, exploring.

I love playing "Miss Photographer"!

It's been a lovely three day weekend!

I will see you again real soon!

XO
