🧳 Friday Fun | Any Trips This Year?

[Jodie]

Hello, everyone! Happy Friday!

Travel always brings new experiences, fresh inspiration, and fun memories, whether it’s a big vacation, a work trip, a weekend getaway, or even a short trip close to home.

Sometimes, travel can be even more special when you bring along handmade touches or turn your journey into new craft ideas. Maybe you’ve made something for a trip, like a custom tumbler, luggage tag, travel pouch, matching shirts, or a scrapbook. Or maybe a place you visited gave you inspiration for your next project.

Let’s share together!

Share anything you like, such as:

• Are you traveling anywhere this year, or have you already gone somewhere recently?
• Did you make anything handmade for the trip?
• Have any of your travels inspired a craft idea, color palette, or new project?
• Did you bring any custom items with you, like a tumbler, bag, tag, or shirt?
• If you could make one special item for your next trip, what would it be?

Share your travel stories, photos, or any handmade items connected to your trip, we’d love to see them!

We can’t wait to hear about your travels and see the creative inspiration they bring. Let’s make this Friday full of stories and creativity!

The last time I traveled, I went back home to Tennessee. Here’s a photo from the boat we took out on the lake. I do plan to paint this scene one day.

Here is a bag tag I made that was inspired by the idea of traveling. I wanted something to mark my bag when I travel, so it can’t be mistaken for someone else’s bag. However, it’s also just a cute accessory I keep on my camera bag at all times, so it doesn’t just get used during trips.

We’re going to Tenerife, Canary Islands, in June and it can’t come soon enough!

As Tenerife is just off the northwest coast of Africa, the climate is wonderful and far better than the bleak rain of the Scottish Borders.

When my pain is at its worst and even the very strong meds I have (which are usually only given to cancer patients) can’t help, the only thing that offers any relief is heat. A few days in the sun and, when the heat gets in your bones, I’m a different person, with the energy to actually enjoy ‘normal’ activities. I’d gladly up sticks and live there, if I could afford to. Does anyone know the winning numbers for tonight’s Euromillions?!

I made these cups not long after getting my LOKLiK Crafter. Amazing that such fine text has survive dthe battering of several dishwasher cycles and airport suitcase volleyball!

That lake looks so peaceful!

[Samantha_Bryant]

Yes, it was very peaceful. Your tumblers look amazing!

I’d love to make matching shirts for our family… hoping to go to the beach this summer

I just went to Salt Lake City last week from Florida and I got A LOT of inspirations from places we visited and stores we went too! It was so beautiful! First time I have EVER seen rain, snow, and sunny in one day and all within 30 minutes! I also went to Texas and got trapped in the snow storm, and drove my first solo trip out of state to Georgia! I found a lot of inspiration from all those places!

My favorite was Salt Lake though!!! But I learned that I need to make something to easily find my suitcase when flying!!!

[Samantha_Bryant]

Welcome back to the community, @denault.kailea! Your photos are absolutely beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing them with us!

MY FAMILY AND I LOVE A GOOD CRUISE. I did 50 shirts for our group but this is me and my family. They loved our shirts!!! My husband wears them to work in the factory weekly
I’m planning the next trip and shirts!

[Mary_Williams]

Hello- I have done and plan on traveling this year. I make custom shirts for us to wear in vacation. I made a travel tag on an acrylic tag with permanent vinyl. I carry custom cups and tumblers. Pictured are shirts I made for our trip last month.

I’m going on a Bahamas cruise for Mother’s Day with my 14 yr old!! I’ll make matching shirts

[Samantha_Bryant]

No trips planned for me but we have gone to a lot of places especially when we did competition archery. We have driven to both costs together and spent a lot of time in Salt Lake City. Nj Ny Md Co Tn Az Ca for some states we have gone to.

[Donna_Burbey]

My son is getting married in November in California so I’ll be heading out there a couple times before then. I’m sure I’ll make something for the trip but just not sure what.

I am currently in Vegas visiting my daughter. We come back in May to move her out of the dorms too. This is her at her graduation party last year. I made the sign in the middle that is red.

Oh how I can’t wait to travel soon we love the ocean the beach and the dolphins in our family!

But, super excited about our Cruise we are in the works for for thanksgiving week this year and I will be making beach themed family shirts or ball caps for all of us for at least one family photo since I will have both my sons home ! Meaning my oldest will be living with his momma permanently finally after nine years of battling he will be home with me after may 2026 yayy I’m so blessed beyond measures!

No trips planned, life is to expensive at the moment. Have Japan and Egypt still on my bucket list though, maybe someday.

[esti_pi]

I have a lot of trips in mind (Scotland, Italy’s Motor Valley, the Northern Lights, London, Japan…) but I can’t set any dates until my knee heals.
In the meantime, though, I’ve made myself a passport cover. It’s handmade from scratch—my dad cut and sewed it from leather, and I designed and personalized it with HTV.

We went to Tombstone, AZ. Not very far from us but a lot of Old West fun. The apple cobbler is so yummy too!!!
