Camping.

I love camping! We have very happy memories come rain or shine of our tent and campervan. I was watching the local news the other day and they did an article on some campers braving it out in all the rain and it made me remember the time beautiful daughter number two went to Glastonbury the year that it rained and rained! I was very worried about her but she came home with mud in her backpack, very near trench foot despite wearing several bin liners inside her wellies and the most filthy I had ever seen her, Needless to say she loved every minute and wouldn't have missed it for the world. I couldn't go and visit her for a photograph as she has been in Scotland on holiday, but I found this image which resembles the photographs she took!
tag tuesday. camping
I distressed inked the tag with stormy sky ink (very apt) then framed the image onto blue card and distressed the edges before sticking down. I stamped the wellies boots onto glossy paper twice and then decoupaged the right boot with sticky pads. Then I stamped the words that we always say before setting off on our travels! Perhaps that 's why I never travel light, too many options needed!
I'm looking forward to seeing all your interpretations this week, hope you all stay dry and warm!

  6. Know what you mean about not packing light, but with changeable British weather you always need a warm jumper, rain coat and flip flops! Great tag and love the phrase you picked.
