Last of the Scavenger Hunt

So here we are with the last of the Scavenger Hunt.

1 A sign welcoming people to your  home town.





2 A garden gnome.  I was walking back from the shops and took a shortcut through the cemetery to get to the road where I knew the sign above was.  I was planning to drive to the local garden centre to find a gnome and to my surprise I found one on top of a grave.

11 A horn.  These aren't strictly horns but they are horn-shaped.  They are the pipes of an organ and I was standing underneath them.

12 A mascot.  I looked up the meaning of Mascot: A person, animal, or object believed to bring good luck, especially one kept as the symbol of an organization such as a sports team.  When I was clearing out my Dad's things I found this St. Christopher which many people wear as they believe it ensures safe travel.

And lastly a parade - number 14.   This row of shops is known as Dovehouse Parade.  You may be able to see that the Dry Cleaners is called 'on parade'.



If you want to see the results of other peoples' scavenger hunts, pop over to Gallo Organico.

Thanks for stopping by.

Continuing the planner

I didn't write much into my planner through the last few weeks but determined that I would complete the pages even if I had to cover the pages with stickers - which you will see is what I ended up doing!

Week 31
I watched a lot of the Commonwealth Games all week so not a lot to say!
I stuck this gelli plate print in.   It may or may not get journaled on!
Week 32
I went to a great workshop at the Festival of Quilts.
Ali Edwards asked if some of us would send a photo of ourselves holding up our One Little Word.  Here's a copy of the photo I sent.
Week 33
I couldn't remember what I did this week so  - stickers!  Plus I stuck the flap down onto the lined page.
Week 34
Here's another page with the flap stuck down.   The OLW task for August was to look at the music that was important to you but I felt that I had already covered that when I was doing Summer of Color.

Thanks for stopping by.
