Just a quick, fun layout of my husband and his best friend skiing... they give themselves so little “me” time, I was thrilled these best friends planned a day off of work to meet up at Blue Mountain, PA about 1/2 way between our homes. Unfortunately, COVID requires ski tickets to be prepurchased to control crowds, so they happened to purchase tickets a couple weeks beforehand which turned out to be the windiest and coldest day of the winter this far. They joked that mask-wearing wasn’t at all an inconvenience that bitter cold day!
It was only the second time in almost a year that he ate indoors, which he said felt strange and a bit unnerving, but a necessary evil with no other options. They limited their time indoors and celebrated getting to spend rare time together with a round of bourbon shots!
The clear SRM Press #40030 Skiing vellum stickers used for the large and small titles and square boots have been hoarded in my stash for over a decade; alas, saved for plans to go back in time to scrap ski trips of the past... I’ve really tried to change my attitude this year and keep in mind what I had in mind may not be what stashed supplies were destined for. Those old experiences pages may never get documented, and that’s ok. I’m just enjoying my hobby now, and whatever I choose to document will make me happy.

isn't that funny! i never even thought of how appropriate the diamonds were for downhill skiing until you mentioned. thx Alex. i must have been channeling the slopes mentally while scrapping. i'll try to join again this month... i noticed the double page sketch layout with diamonds... guess i'll just have to try that one! ;)
