Hi Friends. This year we spent Christmas in Florida at my in laws. I lost my Mom suddenly last August and just needed a change of scenery for Christmas. We went to see the Manatees while we were there. They were so fun to watch! This year I am planning to make a Manatee key holder for my mother in law for Christmas. Next week we will be traveling to Ohio for my Cousins wedding. I am trying to be able to laser a cutting board as a gift with my Grandmoms Apple Cake recipe on it. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Gosh, I haven’t traveled anywhere other than my sisters (she’s only an hour away) since 2021. My husband and I went to Florida to spend Thanksgiving with his family. I used to take weekend trips all the time when I had an employee discount from the hotel I worked at, but since leaving employment in 2024 I’ve been a homebody.

This year I traveled to Michigan for my brothers wedding, I couldn’t do much on that trip since we were there for only a few days and focused mainly on the wedding but I made them coasters as wedding gifts. I have a trip planned to Disneyland this year though, it’s my favorite place in the world! So I know I’m gonna have a great time. I made a keychain that’s Minnie Mouse inspired, I’ll get to take that around on my backpack while I’m there. Hopefully I get new creative ideas while I’m there. I know it’s always inspires me to have a more creative outlook on things.
For those wondering my first name is Jocelyn but I go by Diane here

When I travel, I like to carry a travel notebook with me. Instead of buying postcards, I draw sketches in it with my travel watercolor kit, take poetic or epistle crazy notes, and make my own quick maps of places that have meaning from that trip. And that way, I keep a wonderful, very personal memory.
My favorite part is from when I lived in Athens and traveled all over Greece. How I miss it!
This is exactly from the day we entered this millennium. The magical light of dawn woke me up. I wasn’t sleepy at all; I felt like someone who has finished a project (a millennium) with satisfaction. And I started drawing what I saw from the window. I’ll never forget that moment.
Αχ νοσταλγία! Αχ αγαπημένη μου Ελλάδα!

You know, I’m not sure why, but our family just loves going to the beach. I guess that makes me a beach person…get it?

We didn’t travel much this year, we just visited Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, which is close to where I live (as I was very excited about the trip, I didn’t take any photos; I took these from the internet just to illustrate the place where we stayed).
We also visited Kyoto. These photos were taken at Kyoto Station.
We tried to reach Gion district but it is almost impossible to get there, too crowded 
The landscapes that most inspired me to want to create something were Mount Yoshino during the cherry blossom season.
And the Golden Pavilion in Kyoto City

We went camping in Herkimer, NY earlier this month. Mining, rafting, boat rides and more. It was so much fun! We’re also going to Orlando with my whole family in November so I’ll definitely be making lots of shirts for that trip

I was able to visit Miami for The Rose concert and the following night we saw Ateez in Orlando. On the way back home we stopped and spent the night at Daytona Beach. My husband went with me as our kids gifted me the trip for Mother’s Day. We had fun, amazing concerts, good food, and lots of fun.

*Where did you travel this year? ** (even a short getaway counts!) Was there a place or moment that felt truly unforgettable?
[u] Traveled to California for my Nieces Quince and spent time with Family, jumped back on a plane for Arkansas to attend a wedding in Oklahoma then drove down to Texas to spend time with Family then boarded a plane to head back to Florida[/u]
- Do you have any trips planned for the rest of the year?
* I never know when my Next Trip will be sometimes it just happens on a spur of the moment - Have you ever crafted something for your travels? (Think tote bags, luggage tags, organizers, travel mugs…) Yes, made Tumblers for my Family Members
- Did a scenery or landmark inspire you to create a project later? (mountains, beaches, city skylines…) I am always inspired when I go on trips
- If you want to design a DIY craft inspired by your dream destination, what would it be? [u]I would love to take a Craft Cruise with my Craft Besties!
- Here is the Wedding Craft Project I helped with in Oklahoma for a wedding
