I am leaving for my trip on Sunday and I have to admit, I'm a little nervous to be by myself for 35 days in four foreign countries where I don't speak any of the languages. I know that enjoying the trip will, to a degree, depend on my mind set going into it.
After sharing my concerns with my best friend, Tiffani, she sent me this picture (see above) with a sign saying "Don't [mess] up this trip, Martini." She is basically trying to give me some tough love and let me know that this is within my own control. I decided to make it the mantra of the trip and I dedicated a page to it in my Smashbook.
Under it I told myself to "Be Brave." I downloaded that font (I believe it's called Fish Fingers) from the web site "da font" where you can download many many fonts for free. I uploaded them into my Cameo program and cut it out there.
I love this compass that I cut out on the silhouette below! I backed it on pink paper and then cut around that.
Below is a list of all the things I have to do to prepare for the trip. I made a stencil that said "Prep Work" and used a pencil to put the words on the page. Under it are all my lists of things to buy, do, plan, etc.
On this page (on the right), I journaled in pink to make the page pop out. Each circle highlights a city where I'm staying on the trip and I wrote my hotel info and what I'm looking forward to doing when I get there.
