Travel minis
OK confession time. Every time I go on vacation I plan to make a great mini to document it. I work out a rough plan, collect ephemera, take lots of photos, come back home all buzzed, process my photos, collect bits from my stash, make a start.. then reality comes crashing down and I never finish it. Last year I went on some amazing vactions to Cambodia, Singapore, Venice, the Greek Islands, Thailand and a South East Asia cruise.
