Yes, It's a Holiday - World Tourism Day

Image
  Hello everyone and welcome to a new Yes, It's A Holiday blog collaboration that I do with my friends Debra and Lori over on our Instagram pages.  But, at times, I also do a step-by-step here on my blog.   Today we are celebrating World Tourism Day .  As  National Today  explains, World Tourism Day helps raise awareness of the need for accessible tourism all over the planet and that today's holiday is the result of the work done by the UN's specialized agency, the World Tourism Organization (WTO).  I LOVE to travel but, sadly, I have not left the country since Oct. 2019 due to ongoing issues globally.  There are still so many places I want to visit and photograph. Anyway.... I was trying to think of a fun idea for today's holiday, and all I kept thinking about were those fun old-time/vintage-type luggage labels.   I jumped on Etsy, did a search, and found this fun set of vintage-type Junk Journal Travel Ephemera from Polka ...

Yes, It's A Holiday - Buy A Book Day

  Hello everyone and welcome to another "Yes, It's A Holiday" collab that I do with my friends Debra and Lori.  Today we are celebrating International Buy A Book Day .   I love to read and really miss a big box bookstore.  We have a few here but the books are normally expensive so, sadly, I read mostly on my iPad.  According to National Today , this day is celebrated to raise awareness about the dying book-buying and book-reading culture.  Sadly, the U.S. adult population that read books has declined by 7% over the past decade.  And all the insanity of book burnings and books being removed libraries in 2022 is not helping matters.   Anyhoo...since I will not be getting to the mall today to buy a book, I decided to make some "tag" bookmarks instead, to be used with the books I will buy in the future.  And I love how these turned out.  I've had this set of  Slimline Tags  dies in my stash for some time now and thought t...

Yes, It's A Holiday - National Cheese Pizza Day

  Hey everyone and welcome to a new "Yes, It's A Holiday" blog post that I do with my friends Debra and Lori.  Today we are celebrating  National Cheese Pizza Day  and I am not complaining.  I love pizza.  I can eat it every day.  The problem here is that you can't really get pizza until after 7pm and you have to buy the whole pie.  Really hard to find a place that sells slices.  UGH!   According to National Today , National Cheese Pizza Day is celebrated annually on September 5th, and it's time for you to celebrate in cheese-pizza style.  Each year, more than 2 billion pounds of pizza cheese is produced in the U.S. alone.
