This week I want to talk about creating mini-albums while on vacation (specifically mini-albums about the vacation you’re on – not just any mini-album). My mini-albums are a combination journal and scrapbook when I travel. I’ve been doing one, the other, or both since 1997. My first trip to New York City in 1997, I ...
First, I want to apologize. I said that I was going to post some of my travel journals from the past today, but since I’m doing a series I thought it would be good to keep those photos with the series. So tune in next week as I discuss: different mini-album styles and benefits, fun ...
Within the next couple of weeks were are heading off for a fun-filled vacation to Paris. I can not wait. In preparation for our trip, I decided that I will make a mini-album using some of my favorite travel-related paper from Making Memories. I have been making on the go mini-albums on my trips since ...

I hope everyone had a great weekend. My husband came back from the states and brought back a lot of goodies I ordered to help feed my scrappy habit: Lots of stuff from the Studio Calico last call sale last month, as well as their new product lines (stamps and 6×6 pad), tons of ...
One thing I realized shortly after my son was born is that he will not be as familiar with kids shows in the states as, well, kids living in the states would be. I don’t watch a lot of tv. Mostly because all of our channels are in German except for the news and I ...
I am so excited! I just registered to attend my first scrapbooking event, Crop Am Rhein. It takes place April 2012 in Remagen, Germany. I just watched the vimeo of last year’s event and it looks like my wallet is going to be in trouble. There is going to be a lot of product. I ...
WELCOME to the new Travel Turtle. Since I last posted regularly I moved to Germany and had a baby. Now that things have settled a bit on both fronts, I figured it’s time for me to redo this blog to keep it more in-line with the things that are actually part of my life now. ...
