My time with our base Officers' Spouses' Club is coming to an end and therefore it is time for me to relinquish my role as publicity chair. I was asked by the president of the club to create a flier announcing the opening.

Design: Thrift Shop & Credit Cards
Our base thrift shop recently started accepting credit cards! This has been a long time in the making and I believe it will be hugely beneficial to their profits. Of course, all their profits go towards charity with the biggest being scholarships for military dependents.

Design: Country Bunco
The host for this month's Bunco chose a country theme and I was asked to create the flier. I had a bit of a hard time deciding what direction to go with this flier. First I saw a really cute invitation with a light wood grain background and a mason jar accent. I tried to recreate it, but I just wasn't feeling it. I found this bandana print/wood grain background and rolled with it. (Like my little dice pun?)

Design: Cookie Crunch
I have been in a flier-creating frenzy before the move. I am absolutely loving it! My latest creation was for an annual event at our base called Cookie Crunch. Many (if not all) bases do something similar. Cookies are donated and sorted to give to all the military members that live in the dorms. This helps spread some holiday cheer to those single guys and gals. I have to admit that I have never actually participated in this event either as a volunteer or by baking some cookies, but I really need to at our next base. It's such a fun reason to bake up a big batch of cookies. This year our base has to collect something like 500 dozen cookies to cover all the dorm residents. It's a huge undertaking, but so worthwhile.

Design: Fashion Bingo
Here is the final version (edited for my blog, though) of the Bingo flier for our Officers' Spouses' Club. I was lucky and found the image right away in my Google search and it would be hard to find a better fit.

Design: Designer Bingo
The big social of the year for the Officers' Spouse Club is Bingo. It is the get-together with the largest attendance and the most prizes. Last year the theme was purse bingo and everyone left with something. I won a great bag from Thirty-One Gifts.
Originally for this year's theme it was going to be Designer Bingo. After I started the flier, the theme changed a bit. But I thought it was a fun design, so I am sharing it with you anyway. Tiffany & Co. was the inspiration for the background. And since it was designer themed, I wanted to keep the color scheme simple and classic.

Travel: Yosemite
One of Charles' big bucket list items for our time in California was to visit Yosemite. Of course, we waited until almost the last minute to take a trip there. We visited on October 1st which happened to be the anniversary of the park. We totally did not plan that.
I do have to preface this next part by saying I don't think it was the ideal time of year to visit Yosemite. I've heard it is better to go around April when the waterfalls are flowing. In October, the water was definitely not flowing. With that said, I did not love Yosemite as much as some of the other places we have visited on the west coast. I have several friends who love, love, love Yosemite and I just wasn't feeling it. But it was worth visiting, especially because we had free admission (thank you military discount)!
On the way back to our hotel in Jamestown, I was feeling carsick. The roads are quite curvy and after hiking I am especially susceptible to car sickness. We stopped for dinner at one of the towns outside of Yosemite. A BLT was just what I needed to cure my upset tummy. I just need to suck it up in the future and buy those special bracelets and anything else I can get my hands on to prevent motion sickness. I had forgotten my Tummy Rub essential oil blend. It would have been the perfect time to try it out.

Doesn't this look like a green screen background? We thought so, but it's totally a real life background. |
