A Photo Project Featuring...ME!

Welcome back y'all.  Thanks for dropping in this morning to see what new artsy-fartsy project my Camper Mom has cooked up.

Last year, Momma Sharon went to the humongous Hendersonville Apple Festival up in western NC.  When she goes to art festivals, she's always on the look-out for some funky art item.  Sometimes she'll make a quick sketch of it or she'll sneak a photo or two of it, knowing that she can recreate it at home......no comment.

But this time around, she found something that she actually bought!  An artist had cut out letters on mat board so that photos could be placed on the back to fill in the space.  There was no limit to the number of letters, their size, or the colors of the mat and its reveal.  So here's what Momma Sharon ordered just for me!


She went back through all my camping albums and pulled out some of our favorite photos to put behind the letters.  It didn't take her hardly an hour to finish my very own SPLASHTAB Photo Collage.  Here's the before and after..... 







Pretty cool huh?  The only problem I can see is that it's kinda long and I'm not sure it will fit inside of me on our camping trips together.  But she'll figure out something.....she always does.


Next week I get to go to Bristol, TN for a Sisters on the Fly gathering called "Fun In The Fall 2".  I went last year and had a ball being the baby in the crowd of old gals.  We'll pull out of the T@Bport on Thursday and you can travel along with us over on Postcards From The Road.  When I get back home, I'll be giving you some behind the scenes accounts of my adventure.

Until then.....

"Peace, Love & Camping!"
