I never thought I would be one of those people.
You know, the frequent traveling type.
But I have logged over 10,000 miles this year.
I’ve been to Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Utah, California (three times) and Texas.
Believe me, all those trips were a blast. But the trip that I expect to be the most fun of all will be the biggie: The Paper Crafts Cruise in November.
It involves seven big days of sailing through the Caribbean. There will be stops in Cozumel, Belize, Isla Roatan and Grand Cayman. There will be swimming, shuffleboard and, possibly, even an evening of karaoke with Creative Editor Susan Opel, Go-to Gal Kim Kesti and myself. (Heaven help the poor ears of all the other cruisers, but I digress!)
Oh yeah, did I mention there will also be actual paper crafting while we at sea? Over 100 paper crafted projects worth, baby!
Seriously, I can not wait!
I do not want to forget anything about this possibly once-in-a-lifetime cruise so I’ve put together a memory book to take with me.
It’s a simple little book with tags and pages to jot down notes about the crafters I meet along the way and the places we go. (Belize, anyone?)
I even included a few pockets to stash away little pieces of paper (recipes, napkins and matchbooks) collected on the way.
Fun, right?
Want to make a memory book for the next time you travel?
The folks at Technique Tuesday have offered up three of their The Observant Traveler by Ali Edwards Studio AE stamp sets to give away today. I used the same stamp set to put together my memory book. Tell me somewhere you dream of visiting by Thursday at 5 PM MDT. I’ll pick three winners from your comments.
PS… Technique Tuesday is celebrating the anniversary of their Studio AE stamp club this month and has a special offer for Paper Crafts magazine readers. Sign up to be a Studio AE member by Sept. 30 and include “PCFan” in the comment field at check out and you’ll receive a free limited-edition Remember This by Ali Edwards stamp!
Hope to see you on the cruise!
Teri

Me? I’d love to go to Tibet! But cruising the Carribean would be just fine too!
Thanks for a chance to win these fab stamps!
Two places on my bucket list is Italy and Greece. My grandparents were from Italy and the I would love to see where it all began. And, the beautiful sights of Greece have called to me for years.
I have two places that I’ve been dreaming of for quite some time…Greece and Italy. While my husband isn’t a flyer…my friend and I are planning the Italy trip for our 50th birthday! Only 4 years to learn Italian.
I dream of visiting Greece…..but I don’t know about doing it before 5pm today!
I dream of going to Italy with my husband to see some family heritage.
I would love to visit Austria again – I went with my sister after I graduated from college, and it was absolutely gorgeous. And I love the little memory book you made – too cute!
I’m pretty easy- Wyoming and the midwest would be fun for me. Now, if we’re talking ” win the lottery” dream, Austria and Scotland would do!
I dream of visiting Washington state. Thanks for the giveway.
I dream of visiting England, Scottland and Ireland! We have been fortunate enough to travel over a large bit of Europe but haven’t made it to the UK yet.
Cute tag book Teri! Being a gypsy at heart, I dream of traveling EVERYWHERE! My favorite road trip would be visiting every state in the US & Canada!!! I’ve been through most of them but as a child. Now I want to enjoy them at my own speed!!
Such a cute way to save memories and tidbits from your cruise! My dream vacation of the moment is the Grand Tetons.
I’d love to go to New Orleans, and sit in the French Quarter early one morning at the Cafe Du Mon to sip coffee and eat beignets.
I have really gotten into mini-albums lately, and I love the tag memory book you did! Ah, there are so many places I’d love to go! In the U.S. I would love to visit Seattle, and internationally I would love to go to Australia and New Zealand.
Two places I would love to visit are California and Washington, D. C.

What a fun way to keep memories! Like many, I dream of visiting Hawaii!
I’ve always dreamed of going to Australia. But it’s been so long since I was anywhere but the US (I’m Canadian) that I’d go anywhere warm, tropical and relaxing!
One day I would love to visit Italy! Just sit in a winery and take in the scenery. I love your little book. The perfect size to travel with.
Thanks for the chance to win!
xoxo, Christine
Love your little mini book! so creative and fun! I have lived in Hawaii for 10 years which is a destination most people like to set off too, and it seems so far from Europe which is where I would like to travel to. I would like to visit Paris France, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Spain,Austria…the list could go on and on. How about all of Europe!!!
Thanks for the chance to win!

I would love to visit Europe, especially Paris and Greece!
I love your tag book too cute! I dream of visiting Italy one day! My mother was from there and would love to visit (okay since I have family there I may even want to stay for a long time, lol!) Thanks for the thought at a daydream for today!
((Hugs)) Theresa
Australia! Swoon!!!
Hope I’m not too late, just found this. But I would love to take my husband to Europe, he’s never been and I absolutely love it there.
Teri! How totally cute is your little project and the stamps could not have been a better choice.
Scotland is definitely on my wish list….I’m sure I lived in a castle there in one of my previous lives!!!
Right now–anywhere sounds better than here!
A crafting cruise would be my dream vacation.
This is a great idea!! I’d love to try it for past vacations. (I’m disabled now and bedridden) In the past we would tour lighthouses and this would be great to use for the pamphlets and pictures. Thanks for the idea
This craft cruise is now on my list for sure, but I also wanna go to Europe someday with my husband. =D
That is such a great book! And the cruise sounds so wonderful! I have always wanted to go to Australia, but traveling anywhere would be fantastic. Have a great time and thanks for the inspiration.
Cute book and great idea…and make it before the trip is not something I would have thought of! But it is perfect for recording the trip as you go along…smart!
I want to go to Australia!
