About Arlington

When I was in Maryland for a few days in August, I made a side trip to Arlington National Cemetery. I spent only a few hours there, and it was incredibly peaceful. I stopped at some of the famous sites, but I was particularly impressed by the rows of markers honoring the dead. I created some scrapbook pages about the trip.

Like any art or craft, scrapbooking is a process. The first set of pages (with the red, white, and blue color scheme) came together quickly. I spent considerably more time on the In Memoriam pages, though they look simpler. Color selection was the issue, but I'm satisfied--if not thrilled--with the results.

I picked up some developed pictures today: some from a trip to the zoo with one of my nieces; the other roll is from the Utah Shakespearean Festival. I'm planning to scrap with photos from the latter roll this weekend. I have some paper in mind that I think will be perfect. That doesn't always happen, but I appreciate it when it does.

In the meantime, however, I'm hoping to finish Mind Game. I finished my review of Don't Look Now. It should be posted sometime next week. I should also be getting a new package of books to review, and that's always fun. I love opening the package and seeing what's inside. And when I don't have review books, there's always my TBR list . . .
