A moth ate my Travel Guide!

Not really, I was just trying once again to get both challenges into one blog title.

The challenge over at the Every Inchie Monday blog was TRAVEL, and I decided to make a teeny weeny TRAVEL guide -




And over at the Tag Tuesday blog we have arrived at the letter M. I knew I had a very old book on MOTHS somewhere, and once they had nibbled away at my brain, that was it. I scanned in one page from the book, and for the background, I used a photograph I had taken of the night sky in France a couple of years ago. The metallic lace is there to represent the moonlight shimmering on, ermm, stuff. I also couldn't resist making a little moth out of a printed image, a bit of wire and a tiny piece of pipe cleaner -





We are still in the UK, as we need to take care of some elderly parents and elderly auntie stuff, but we are hoping to be on our way in a week's time. Can't wait.

I'm sure I would find my away around France with that dear little guide - moth eaten or not!
Gotta laugh!

Love that cute little travel guide and the moth tag is beautiful. You make such wonderful tags. How do you display all of them? I'd love to see a photo of how you use them.

I think your post title was perfect by the way!
