Harmonious Travel Planning

This post is actually a confession about how odd I am.

If you want to shake your head in disgust, laugh hysterically,

never look at my blog again, etc. that is perfectly understandable:D

My husband, being the kind of person who lives

without ever planning anything,

dissolved into laughter when I told him

this on our trip to Florida (It was his fault! He asked me

how I managed to bring so many clothes that matched

the pastel houses etc. that we saw.)

So this is my secret...

I color coordinate my trips!

Explanation:

Outfits are planned to match what

I may see that day or what the "Feel" of the place has.

I may even work in a theme, such as "city vibe"

or "50's era" or "hawaiian" etc.

depending on where I am traveling.

I may plan my scrapbook papers and theme

that I will use to chronicle my vacation

and then color coordinate with those.

NO, I do not make my husband or kids

coordinate with me! (but I sure wish they would:)

Weird? Probably!

But it sure is fun...

The scrapbook papers that you see above

gave me the theme for a little birthday weekend

trip I am taking with my family.

But I will add in a few western touches

because we're going to Central Oregon:)

When I get back I will post pics about it and then you'll see

how it works out...

The scrapbook papers are called

"Thrift Shop"

Does that give you a small clue about

what I hope to be doing while I'm away?
