100 Days Project Progress: Days 67 - 72

I'm keepin' on keepin' on with the 100 Days Project.  Here's my recap from days 67 - 72.

67)  I posted a video on my YouTube channel that features a layout in a traveler's notebook insert.  I'm really enjoying playing with this size of layout since it's so different from the other sizes and styles I do.



68)  I hadn't touched my photos from Colorado since landing back in MN.  I took time this day to edit all of the photos and get them ordered.  I figured that since it would be a small batch, I could get them quickly into my 6x8 pocket page album for CO 2015-2017.

69)  I posted a video of my unboxing and review of my first kit from Wild Hare Kits.  I had mixed feelings about the kit I received.  If you haven't heard of this company and want a peek at what they do and what I got in my recent kit, you can watch the video below.  (As a side note, this is my most-watched video so far.)



70)  I was short on time this day, but I wanted to do/experience something crafty.  I hadn't been able to watch any crafty videos by other scrappers in a while, so I spent some time watching videos by Traci Reed.

71)  Since I had edited all of my recent CO photos, I decided to do a quick order for them rather than waiting for Snapfish to send them in the mail.  I printed them locally and then started designing layouts in the 6x8 pocket pages I had waiting for them.

72)  I posted another process video featuring a TN insert layout.  This one featured some food photos!

Using Airbnb as a woman

Image
Today I want to talk about using Airbnb when I travel.  And not just using Airbnb, but specifically using Airbnb as a woman.  It is sad that I have to even think about it that way, but as I live in the real world, there you have it.  When I was first traveling on my own, I stuck with hotels in busy places, as I felt safer and I tended to be closer to city centers.  For most touristy activities in larger cities, that's a great place to be.  However, travelers pay a price for that, and I felt it.  I wanted to be able to put more of my money into actually enjoying a city rather than into a room I'd hardly be in each day.  Enter Airbnb. As a female traveler who often is globetrotting solo, I felt that I had to be smart and careful in my choices with Airbnb options.  For instance, after I do a preliminary/mainly generic search for what I want, I start narrowing down the options. 1)  I look at the owner of the property; I tend to immediately exclude a listing that has only a

100 Days Project

Have you heard of the 100 Days Project?  If not, you should look into it.  Basically, it means that you commit to doing something for 100 days in a row.  That something can be whatever you want!  Right now, it is quite popular in the crafty world; I follow several Facebook crafty groups that have people participating in it (we started August 1st).  I didn't do it on the last go-round because I wasn't sure I could stick with it, but I decided to take the plunge this time.  I purposely kept my goal vague: Just do something crafty related every day for the 100 days.  As I write this, I've made it through 5 days.  Here's my list of what I've done: 1.  Made the first pocket page for the 2016 Ireland travel album (this was a trip my husband took): 2.  I made a map page for the Ring of Kerry, which will go in the same travel album: 3.  I participated in an online live scrap group via Skype!  This was the first time I've ever done that (I've done it bef

Booking Flights - Part 1

Image
In order to scrap photos from an awesome trip, you first have to get there, right?  Today I'm going to talk about booking flights.  I want to say up front that I am not a travel agent, so the info I'm passing along here is totally from my own trial and error and things I've read/researched over the years. 1.  Managing your research time :  Nobody wants to spend hours and hours looking for flight options on 10 different airlines.  So, I highly suggest using a fare alert tool.  There are quite a few out there, but my favorite is Airfarewatchdog .  It allows you to search for flights right now, but it also gives you the option to set up fare alerts for certain cities/destinations.  I love this feature, as I can just put in several options, save them, and forget about it!  I don't have to really think about it again (unless I want to) until I get the email alerting me that there's a price of interest on the cities I indicated.  Be aware, though, that you can only
