I love that you scrapped about this, esp. after the chat. It's a great photoless page. And no, you don't sound insane for wanting to go--it makes complete sense to go and enjoy something you both love and so it's a great weekend you've got planned with your fellow thimblers!

@Tree City Thanks! l am even crazier because it coincides with DSD. It was SO HARD to not include a photo.

I love this, too, Marilyn! You mentioned that you collected thimbles, but I had no idea there were so many thimblers. You and John will have an awesome road trip. It sounds perfectly lovely.

And I am still waiting for a layout WITH photo of your grandfather's thimble and details about his time as a tailor. Oh, and a photo of grandpa to go along with it. You know how I love your vintage layouts and enjoy family history. I am going to consider this layout as a teaser for more coming attractions.

@flowersgal Thanks! Actually I do have a vintage photo of my grandfather in Austria where he was schooled as a tailor. He is sitting with other men, all stitching. I used it in a layout back in the early days of my digital life, maybe 2006? But that would be a great one to redo. Thanks for the suggestion.

I love journalling pages and this is such an interesting story. Beautiful page!

@Karen Thanks. Will do (as far as tagging).

This sounds like so much fun all rolled into one! A road trip with DH, thimble love, and meeting up with other that have the same fun interest! I love the pale colors and your journaling is perfect! Hopping on the bandwagon for a thimble layout!

@jk703 I did share one thimble layout of mine at Karen's chat this past week, here is the link if you are interested. And now I will definitely have to do a re-do for GF and his thimble.
