Last post about the 100 Days Project

I'm finally made it to my closing post about my experience with the 100 Days Project.  Whew!  I'm covering days 96-100 here; I'm actually sad that it's ended.  I have found that I feel far more creative now than before I started the challenge.  I know many people who didn't make it all the way through, but I wholeheartedly took on my goal and achieved it.  My hope is that by completing those 100 days of doing something creative, the pattern will continue.  I don't want to give up my crafty time each day!  With that said, here's a recap of the last few days.

96)  I completed opening pages for my Family and Friend Adventures albums for 2016.  Yay!

97)  I posted a process video for a traveler's notebook layout.  This one used some cool embellishments that I've had lying around for a while.  You can see it below.


98)  I did a blog post.  Nothing too earth shattering, but I got it done.

99)  I posted an unboxing/review video of a scrapbooking kit that I ordered.  It was actually a kit that came out in January of 2017, but I used nearly all of it when I had it the first time, so I ordered it again when I saw it was on sale!

100)  I posted a new process video.  This one went back to a 6"x8" pocket page layout using more photos from Edinburgh.  This one featured photos from Edinburgh Caste; I struggled with it a bit, but it turned out well in the end.

Using Airbnb as a woman

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 immediatel...

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 e...

Yes, this.

I follow multiple travel blogs each day, and one of the sites I frequent the most is the one that belongs to Nomadic Matt.  I've been following for years, since I first felt the desire to travel, but was unsure where to start or how to research.  I've continued to follow his blog because he writes great articles (as do his guest writers), produces awesome travel guides, and even offers forums for travelers to talk to each other about their experiences and plans. So, today I just read a recent post from Matt.  I'm linking it here because I want anyone to read it who is willing.  It's called The Culture Shock of Coming Home .  It talks about how travelers feel when they have to adjust to not traveling; it sounds simple, but it's actually quite complicated.  I've joked with people I know that I often have "post-trip depression" after I get back, but it isn't a joke; it is real.  It's almost as if I feel uncomfortable because the person who is in...
