We are back in New York!!! I am so so excited to finally be living back home.
It has been way way too long since we've been around real fall weather. AJ and I are taking full advantage of the beautiful fall weather on the east end of Long Island - walking every morning, enjoying the vineyards, and hanging out outside every chance we get!
I brought my scrapbook things with me, but with the sun out every day this week, I haven't been inside much to use it!
But, I do have this layout made over the summer about my other favorite place to live - Chicago!
One of my favorite things about living in Chicago was using the CTA to go everywhere. I loved my Chicago Card, and when we moved, I didn't know what to do with it. But I didn't want to throw it out, so I held on to it. And eventually decided to make a layout with the card - but I didn't have any pictures to go with it.
Then I had a really hard time because the colors on the card were pretty weird, and I had trouble finding papers that worked with it. I ended up printing out a map of the CTA train and bus system, and using it as a center for my layout. I'm happy with how it turned out, and I'm glad I documented that part of my life!
Well, I'm off to shower and get ready for more exploring the island out here! What are you up to this week?

I love how this layout came together. I am always intrigued when people are able to use maps in their layouts. I am seriously considering trying to use one when documenting our Universal Studios trio in the Spring. So glad you guys are home and with family!
love that you scrapped the card-- awesome
Glad you made it there safely!
Unfortunately I can't see your photo :(
not sure why. Just a big symbol that looks like a Do Not Enter sign.
Same as Mary Jo on the photo - wonder what's up with that?
Anyhoo - glad you arrived safe & sound! The weather has been pretty nice latently! Enjoy!
Sadly, I can't see your layout…the photo isn't coming up for me.
I will try again tomorrow.
I can't see the layout either! :( I'm so happy for you guys that you are back on the east coast!!
Well bummer, I couldn't see your card. But I am SO happy you are back in New York, for good :)
I can see your layout!! I'm so happy.
I think I had to upgrade something.
I love how you made your page without photos..it is perfect.
