ROAD TRIP - ART IN THE CAR, JOURNAL ART

What do you do on a road trip.  You load the CD player with a great book, grab some magazines and some edible treats.  Don't forget to grab some paper and a BTK (Basic Tool Kit) and hit the road.  I never take a road trip without my BTK gives me something to do in car instead of wondering "are we there yet".  If you're lucky while you're on the road you might find some neat things along the way to incorporate in your road trip journal.

It's amazing what you can do from the front seat of a car.  Below are some of my ART IN THE CAR JOURNAL.
