Day 2: The Sphinx

Miss B was very anxious to see the Sphinx. That was the one thing she said she wanted to see in Egypt. We watched several documentaries on Netflix about the Sphinx and pyramids.

But actually seeing the Sphinx in person was kind of anti-climactic. It was surprisingly-small, dwarfed by the pyramids, and in such bad condition, that I ended up feeling rather sorry for the poor thing. Our pictures look far more impressive than the reality of the poor Sphinx.

Online Scrapbook Class

 I think that I have already shared that I really enjoy scrapbooking. When we were planning to move to Saudi Arabia, I opted to buy a Kindle so I could take a full library wherever I went, left my paper books at home, and brought all my scrap supplies. I usually attend a Scrapbook Expo in New Jersey every year where I take classes and shop. But I couldn't do that this year. I was feeling pretty bummed about that, when I got an email from Big Picture Classes. BPC is a online craft education website which offers online classes. I ended up taking three classes-at the same time, which kind of turned out to be a mistake because I haven't been able to keep up with all three. One of the classes, 28 Days of Sketches-Round 2, has been really fun and inspiring. Each day, I get an email with a new sketch, which I then use to create a page of my own. We share our layouts in a gallery. Like I said, it has been really fun. Because I'm so proud of what I've created, I wanted to share the layouts I made. Not all are perfect or fabulous, but most are pretty great.
