I skipped some other stories of my niece's visit so I could capture these "in the moments", but with one thing and another, here it is 4 days later. to "quickly" capture, I once again used the Artsy Layered Template, changing the frames a bit, and between the layers placed a Ludiosis FotoBlendz to blend a photo, levels adjusted. Another "combo" (i use the merged png files and pile up different ones to get the effect I want) Ludiosis FotoBlendz on the right. Clipped Ludiosis Artsy Kardz to the small frames, then placed new Everyday Notions in a cluster with some MM elements.
Everyday Notions book was placed on the right, Lumosity, and duplicated, then I stamped a lined brush for my journaling.
I know the journaling is too small to read:
I knew it was a King Tide, yet I didn’t plan to go out to the Cove. However once we reached the Rat Beach Dolphin and I saw how low was the tide, and how beautiful the day, it called to me. “I’m going out”, I declared. Tod returned - he didn’t have the right shoes on. Neither did I, and worse, I didn’t have the right bag. It was glorious. After I found the first 2 wavy turbans, I reluctantly placed them in my good Athleta crossbody, and started hunting for more. Oh, did I find more. I needed a solution, The tiny bag was full, the shells were wet and smelly, and I had no pockets in my tights. I spied something blue up on the rocks. Good thing Tod wasn’t with me, he would not like me climbing on rocks.
The “something blue” turned out to be a net bag, perhaps for fishing? It was tied with a very strong cable tie. I really need to carry a knife with me. Unable to break the tie, I still managed to wrap up the shells and use the length of cable to close the net. It was not the most comfortable thing to carry, but it was better than nothing. As soon as I got home, I laid out my treasures, and threw my bag and tights, on which I had to keep wiping my hands (I really should also carry gloves and a rag), into the wash.
