My Smash Book [5]

It happened again. I didn't post on Smash Sunday! lol Well, here goes another Smash Monday instead! This week's pages are another set of memory pages. This time I used some postcards I bought at a gas station on the way to Republic, MI a few years ago. Republic is in the Upper Peninsula. :) It was a 6 hour drive, but it was worth it!

 Here are previous pages:

We stayed in a beautiful cabin on a lake for Christmas. My parents, sisters, brother-in-law, niece, aunt, uncle and two cousins all enjoyed a relaxing vacation. We went snowshoeing with my dogs, made Christmas ornaments, strung up popcorn and cranberries, went snowmobiling... it was tons of fun. The man that owned the cabin we stayed in came by and showed us how to ice fish. He caught two pike and cooked them up for us! lol It was a very interesting, but tasty experience. We exchanged presents and just had  great time in each others company.

I used a brown paper bag to make the tree and pockets. :) Then I just used my brush tip markers and some stickers to jazz them up. Inside the pocket with the folded opening, I put some cute animal cards inside. I've been using them on most of my pages. lol They are too cute! I put my owl and wolf postcards in the other two pockets. :) I've been looking for something to do with them. Glad I finally found out what!

Happy Monday! I missed Smash Sunday! lol So instead we are doing a Smash Monday. I might put off Mess Monday for a while since it's so much to keep up with! I'll try not to miss Sunday's post next week! :) Anyway, here is another set of pages from my Smash Book! This one was created in memory of my summer trip to Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum!

If you are a Michigan resident or live nearby and have not visited Greenfield Village and The Henry Ford Museum, and you like a bit of history... I suggest you go! You won't regret it. lol I had so much fun and I would love to go again. Greenfield Village reminded me a lot of Yesteryear Village, which my family frequented when we lived in south Florida. Lots of restored homes and other buildings, stores, workshops, working farms... tons of fun! The Henry Ford is mostly about discovering the history of cars, planes and trains. Very, very cool! There were many other exhibits too though. You can't leave without making a cool plastic figurine either. ;) I got one of Abe Lincoln! We went during the Motor Muster, which is a car show. I've never seen so many old cars in one place. I got great photos too.

Here are some of the 100+ photos I took! Click them to make them larger. :)
