All of the above are great ideas! One thing I do is photograph items that I won't be bringing home. Last year I bought a box of Walker's oatflake cookies, which we ate on the trip, but before throwing the container away I took a picture of the front. When I scrapbook that trip I'll print it out on cardstock and cut it out to put on a page. I also take pictures of many of my souvenirs after getting home. Keychains, pins, fridge magnets etc--they all make nice embellishments on pages.

Kwintesenc--I am willing to photograph a page or two from a scrapbook and post it for you. It might be a few days before I have time, though.

That's a very neat idea! I love all these ideas. It helps those of us who are creatively challenged.

Rarogirl,

What a terrific idea! I had never ever thought of that.

Hi I love reading what everyone else does with scrapping their trips. I scrapped a cruise I went on a few years ago, and it took me months to get it finished, I was sort of over it by the time I got it done. For my Europe trip I have had another idea. I am using a wooden book box - a hinged box that is sort of like opening up a book - and scrapping that with a few photos, inside and out and then making a travel journal with journalling and using maybe 1 or 2 favourite photos from each day or location. Then in the box I will keep the journal, the rest of the photos burned to CD od DVD, and any other mementos that I collect on the way. Hopefully this way I can still have a lot of photos included, but it won't take quite as long to make it!

Gold Coast Girl: I like your idea it sounds very interesting, good luck with it.

Missie, how about I send the whole lot over to you, you scrapbook it for me and send it back . Not only am I not "handy"--and I mean that I have no talent like that I can put my hands to--but I am the world's biggest procrastinator so . . . .

Brenda: If I take on one more thing my husband is going to divorce me, I am very lucky he does the cleaning.....and shopping..... but if he has to pick up any more little pieces of paper or thread, I'm dead, and I'm sure you wouldn't want to see that now, would you.

No, no, Missie, keep him sweet. I like a man who does the cleaning & shopping--got one of those myself.

Where do I find one of these??

It's a matter of training and threatening and sweetness and light .

You are so right Brenda, as frustrating as men can be, once trained they are worth keeping.

I suppose if the men on board declared women trainable for certain tasks - there'd be holy hell cries of chauvinism. . .good on you boys for sitting still for this one!

Sorry, haven't read back through the thread, but you would have a better chance of training a domestic cat than a woman, would you not? - I have always been trained by women and cats, and I don't think it is possible to train a puddytat, let alone a woman!

Roxy: You win the wooden spoon.

Roxy, the guys on this forum know when we're kidding and they have a sense of humour--as proven by SteveH--and also a good sense of survival.
