Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - Jul 30, 2017
Hello book & paper enthusiasts,
August is almost here and there is still time to get in a little traveling whether you are going far away or having a stay-cation. I love spending a long weekend in Pasadena where I have easy access to downtown LA on the Metro Gold line or eat my way through the San Gabriel Valley. However if you have to fly to get to where you are going (because you have gotten the traveling to workshop and vacation bug) and you are not driving you have to contend with the liquid restrictions when flying. What a pain especially if the trip is over 2 weeks. Take solid bar shampoos and conditioners with you. They even have soap in a sponge, Spongeables, if you are a bath gel person like me. These will definitely not count against your liquid quotas. I also use an easily refillable travel perfume spray that can last 1 1/2 - 2 weeks with normal use. If you also happen to know you will be in one place (in the US, that is) for a while send yourself your get ready in the morning items by using a USPS priority mail box - less expensive than checking a bag and/or paying for an overweight bag. You use your travel stuff until it gets there (2 - 3 days) and send it back before you leave. It is also great to send home souvenirs or your travel guide books this way as well. I wonder if I could send my clothes this way? I could just travel with just my backpack!! I will have to experiment!

July has been a busy month for workshops. As reported in my last update I was on Bainbridge Island for an organizational box making workshop earlier in July. Last weekend I was at BookArts LA making a Secret Belgian Binding book - that was a challenge but loads of fun and I did finish making the book (woohoo!). Yesterday was learning to make a traveler's notebook inspired by the Midori notebook - what a great way to keep track of schedule, notes, sketches, receipts, etc. on your trip. As they get filled you can swap them out for new ones. Had a great time at the class and catching up with the GCC tribe!
Here are some upcoming classes in the LA area, San Francisco (SF) and along the west coast (it could be a day-long adventure, make a weekend or whole vacation out of it!).
