Summer School Tell A Story

Oh my goodness, this is fabulous!! I adore your journaling and am so glad that you are finally able to realize your dream! We have an HOA where I live, but geez, I think I would have been out long ago if they were telling me what I could plant and even what color. That's crazy. Love your photos and those sweet paper houses!

@IntenseMagic Thanks for your wonderful comments, Jan! I loved reading them and I'm so glad I took did this challenge. I'm not a big journaler, so it pushed me out of my comfort zone. The HOA's in Florida can be brutal! My daughter planted SO many flowers in her front yard and had to re-plant all of them because the color was not allowed. GRRRRRR. The neighborhood we lived in wasn't quite that bad, but we had the "HOA Police" who drove around at night to see who was breaking the rules. I think it's mostly in the gated communities, but I can't swear to that. We got a notice once because our tires were off the driveway and in the grass. We have NO HOA here!!

@Scrapping with Liz Thanks, Liz! Your journaling template helped me organize my thoughts!
