Vacation Collage Project



We just went in August on our honeymoon.  (Yeah, we will be married 2 years next month, and saved up for this trip.)  During the trip we were asked to take a Survey about EPCOT upon our return home.  So we signed up, got home and took the survey. Shortly afterwards, the print in the center above arrived.  It's a nice print on watercolor type paper.   Jim also loved the envelope and wanted to frame that as well, which caused us to move out of normal frame range because the envelope unfolded was about 13 by 15 inches.  So we ended up getting a larger frame, (A score at AC Moore for during dollars days.)

However, when we did that, the print in the middle and the envelope looked almost lost in the frame.  So Jim had kept a LOT of paper items from the trip.  So we sorted through them and selected items we thought would looked nice.  I ended up making copies of the covers of the maps, as eventually the maps will go into a scrapbook for the trip. Jim disassembled a pin and I trimmed the front to allow it to fit in.  He had saved the little envelope our room keys came in, a set of fast passes that we never used, and the arcade cards, the maid introduction card, map of the resort, and a coaster from the room.  However I felt it was still missing a layer, and went through the vacation photos.  ALL the vacation photos, to find some picture of us.  Which I then printed out to wallet size and cut out them out.  With that, I used double sided tape to attach the items to the back of the frame.  I could have used glue, but I had tape handy and wanted to get the job finished.

The type of frame I used the glass was gently pressed into place from the top.  We hung it on the wall so we could see it all the time, and plan to do similar project when we do a "big trip" again.

Later~

Migraines and Management

I have had migraines for years. I have had them for close to 30 years now, but at times it feels more like 300 years.  I have taken a lot of stuff to help with migraines. Unfortunately when you lose your medical benefits, you have to adjust.  And by adjust I mean find things that work that don't need to come from a doctor you can't afford.  So here is stuff that I take when the pounding in my head is starting off.  I nearly had a heart attack when Excedrin Migraine when off the market, and I swear that Advil Migraine for me, works on the ones that are step up from the Excedrin but not enough to warrant using one of the limited supply of prescription medication I have.    Now these are the key, though the bottles may change and thus the amount of pills but I swear that Magnesium and fish oil have made the biggest difference in my brain.  The B-Complex plus additional B6 also work really well.  I can tell if I am messing up taking my vitamins.  The other stuff is just

Friday Favorites - 9/13/19

My helper in my planner My day job is as a back-office manager in a high-end showroom.  I process a lot of paperwork.  Right now, my favorites are going to have a workday theme as pulling 10 hour days does that to a person.   So here are some things that I always work with as well as peek at my planner, since it seems to be planner season on a bunch of different blogs. Beware, I used my Amazon Associate links to create this post, so if you click on it, I am get some commission.  However, these are all legit things that I use currently but was too lazy to go get pictures of.  I use the Passion Planner currently.   I actually got it back when they were clearing out the 2019 planners, so I didn't spend a lot on it. I am still tweaking how I am using it. I am trying to get in the habit of using it as the one location to keep all the things in.  Not just work, but notes about my works in progress for writing, important information, my vision board, and so forth in one main lo

I spent Labor Day weekend trying to get my life in order.

I was going to do a well researched, thoughtful post about time management.  Cause right now, not even before starting at Grad School, I am always racing against the clock.  I know part of my problem is that I have serious problem with the internet and get sucked in.  So I am working on that.   Yet between family obligations, housework, looking for work, helping with various projects, volunteering at the Squad, Mystical Wonders needs, the desire to exercise, social obligations I would like to do... I feel like I am being pulled in about 10 directions at any given moment. So I spent time reading about different methods of time management,  blocking out time, the value of multitasking, the value of not multitasking, and other things.  You know what?  I didn't gain any wisdom.  It seems like everyone, their brother, and great aunt has their own ideas about a "fail proof" way to get life in order and keep things humming along. From using post it notes on laminated pages in
