I made this little journal especially for this trip, and it worked very well..... I have something on almost every page and will fill up the spaces with some photos or tickets or something.... and it is small enough to put in my purse... 6 x 4 1/2 inches.

I used magnet strips for the wrap around closure and made a little pocket (copied from a moleskine) attached the back cover.

and another visited to the Rose Garden one morning, stopped by rain and a wet walk back to Cedar St.

And this at the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden.... by far the most beautiful garden I've ever visited. I'm a bit reluctant to put this painting here as I was in a hurry and it doesn't have the depth it should have, but it was such a beautiful place to be and the colors are kind of right.... I was up on a hill above the path and Asian garden. I'll be putting some photos on my other blog.
I did a few other little paintings and drawings, but its time to move on and get in the present. Hope everyone in the USA is having a great Thanksgiving Day.

Glad you had a good time Carole. I liked your journal idea, it is very clever. The few paintings you posted are lovely, you must be a great house guest to have around. How fun it must have been to watch you create. Happy Thanksgiving!!
(Look forward to seeing some of your photos too)
