100 Days Project Update: Days 85 - 90

Here's another update as I near the end of the 100 Days Project.  I am still so pleased that I decided to take on this challenge, as it has helped me to accomplish a lot of crafty stuff, and it has made me feel more creative in general.

85)  I am sooooooo behind on watching the videos I subscribe to on YouTube.  I decided to spend some time watching videos from Inkie Quill because those tend to be my favorites.

86)  I posted a process video featuring more 6"x8" pocket pages with MORE photos from Edinburgh.  Yes, still working on those photos. These photos were the last from the Scott Memorial and them moving away from Princes Street Gardens.


87)  It was a friend's birthday on this day; she's a crafty girl, too, so we decided to make a trip to a huge craft store that's about an hour away from where we live.  We took our time shopping in the store, and then we had lunch downtown in that city before we headed back home.

88)  I've been purchasing some more kits on the Project Life app lately, but I didn't print anything from them.  Since I don't do Project Life in the sense where I scrap by week or month, featuring my daily life, I don't regularly use the app.  I tend to print out cards and use them in my physical pocket pages.  I made the effort today to print out multiple cards from my newer kits.  Yay!

89)  I spent time prepping pages today.  I am hosting a weekend crop at my house for a few friends soon, so I need to have some pages prepped.  I like to have something to start with rather than staring at a blank page without a plan.

90)  I posted yet another video today with photos from Scotland (yes, still Edinburgh, if I'm honest). 
However, this video was a flip-thru of what I've completed so far with my Scotland photos.  At the time when I recorded it, I was about halfway done with those 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
