Houston...it rained!!!

The trip from New Orleans to Houston was definitely not - let me repeat - NOT -  fun!!!   I got the trailer hooked and drove out of the campsite in New Orleans just before the rain hit.   I did get a picture of the levy that was right behind the campsite...
Yes, that is what it looks like at this point.    And at the end of the road, there is a moveable gate that closes off the entire area.

The rain - make that storms - were with me almost the entire way.   You know the type...raining so hard that the windshield wipers couldn't keep up!!!  The rain did stop for a bit when I got to Houston and I was able to hook up everything.   And take a couple pictures of the area...

My inchies are done.   This challenge theme was Sherlock Holmes.  So I wrote a cute little mystery and made a book.

I created the pages on the computer in 8 point, printed them out and glued the pages together.   I used fun foam (with adhesive backing) for the cover of the book.   Unfortunately, it doesn't stay shut without a clasp so I used wire and beads and some brads.   The pictures below will give you an idea of the process I used...

These were a lot of fun.   I seem to be into the book making kick for inchies...don't ask me why.  

Did you get your taxes done...and mailed or e-filed?   I found a post office today and they are 'winging' (?) their way to the appropriate offices.    Taxes done for another year...yeah!!!!

Thanks for dropping in...

Enjoy your evening...
