Europe Travel Album

Hi friends!
I thought I’d pop on here and share the scrapbook I made of our Europe trip this past May. I took quick photos with my phone on my coffee table. For even more simplicity (less stress!), I am making this blog post  from my phone, too. That means the lighting is not going to be perfect. The photos are not perfect. This post is not perfect. And you know what? I’m choosing to be ok with that!
So here we go!

I used Heidi Swapp's Storyline album and inserts. The pages are 8.5x11. This was such a fun album to make. I will probably do more traveler's notebooks in the future; but this was such a big trip with so many sights; that I felt like I couldn't do it justice in a standard TN size. Big trip=big album.
I'll be taking this down to Thanksgiving this week so my family can see it.
I hope this inspires you or you had as much fun looking at it as I did making it!

happy holidays!

Paris Day 5

The adventure starts here.

I wanted to do some major shopping while in Paris, but Champs-Elysees was a little too rich for my blood. So, Harrison found the perfect place:: Rue du Commerce! This street was full of affordable boutiques, bakeries and restaurants!

I shopped til I dropped! I scored my friends and family lots of goodies. I also picked up a beautiful mustard yellow leather purse. We had lunch and dessert here, as well! It was a great day!

For our last evening in Paris, Harrison bought us dinner and a show at Moulin Rouge. 

That was the most incredible show I've ever seen! The solo acts between sets were amazing, too! My favorite was a roller-skating couple that did amazing acrobatics on a small, circular, wooden platform. 

We met a nice couple from New Zealand that were sitting beside us. Her and I were gasping and oohing and awwwing at the show! We had such a blast! 

And that concludes our whirlwind, amazing, awe-inspiring trip! I miss Europe so much! I loved it there and can't wait to go back! I would definitely live in London! 

I would need to learn French to live in Paris. But, a girl can dream.... 

Paris Day 4

The adventure begins here.


On our 4th day (1st full day in Paris), we walked down to the Eiffel Tower and took a riverboat cruise on the River Siene.

After that, we got on a Big Bus and toured all around Paris. 

 

 

Very ancient Egyptian Monolith. 

We jumped off to tour the Louvre. We saw the Mona Lisa, Greek sculptures and a lot of Delacroix art. 

We also had lunch at the Louvre, on the balcony overlooking the pyramid. 

Then, we hopped back on the Big Bus and started to head back to the hotel. The Arc de Triomphe is very close to our hotel. So, we got off there and took photos. Then walked to the hotel to start getting ready for an evening out! 

That evening we had dinner on Avenue des Champs-Elysees and then found a pub where we had drinks and met some fun people!
