Today I *finally* finished my Rome scrapbook. Started in HUGE eagerness the week I got back from Rome, today I finished it. TWO YEARS AND A HALF YEARS LATER. No jokes. Not that I've been creatively slack in that time...no no no. I've done a set of three Flower Fairies cross-stitch pictures, made *that* wedding scrapbook, hand sewn Christmas cards for my nearest & dearest, done two mini-scrapbooks for birthdays, made numerous hand-made cards for birthdays & weddings and made about a MILLION batches of brownies. But today...today was scrapbook time again.
I have no idea why I suddenly felt such a desire to finish it, but I've just had the best day flicking through what I'd already done and all the photos I still had to sort out. Rome was one of the funnest weeks I've ever had, and definitely up there with TOP holidays. Even now, whenever its on TV, I still do the whole "I've been there...and there...and there...and did you know..." A love affair began with that city, and its one I intend to nurture and revive throughout my life!!
FEET!! (flip-flops + Roman streets = whoops!)(extra points if you can identify us from our feet...)
The photos brought back so many memories (if not first and foremost just HOW many pictures the three of us took!! Seriously. Many.) ...the truly Italian policeman who asked us (all three of us) out just because we'd asked him for directions...the SUNTANS (from the girl who never tans...this was exciting!)...the foot-spa bath & breakfast terrace of THE most beautiful hotel...the two pizzas split three ways daily (for two days before we got hungry enough to eat a whole one each)...the ice-creams (also a daily occurrance) and all those sights you see on tv & can't quite believe you're standing in front of.
Give three girls an ice-cream and a camera...There were also the things that were never caught on camera...three wardrobes mixed together...pillow...numbering off...the proposal at the Trevi that we were watching and worked out was going to happen a good 3 or 4 minutes before the bride-to-be did (bless)...the actual bride and groom that we saw having their photos done at the fountain...the pennies thrown in to make sure we all go back one day...the sunsets over St Peters.
The Three GoddessesSo many memories from just one week caught forever on camera & in my mind...days like today I love scrapbooking!!
Love, etc.

Looks like you girls had a ton of fun! I went to London and Bath back in 2000 and I STILL have not completed my scrapbook. In my defense, scrapbooking wasn't that big of a thing when I went and my photos are in an album. But I want to do a real scrapbook of all my lovely photos. That's on my to-do list.
Just reading about all your fun makes me want to go on holiday! It's also really encouraging, I can't quite explain why, but it's nice because so often we just get a picture of the world as doom and gloom, with war and horrible things everywhere, that we forget there is time to have fun and enjoy ourselves amist our troubles and workloads. I think I just managed to explain why I thought it was encouraging :)
