Cutesy Backpack


I took my backpack from last year's walk along the Camino Frances and decorated it with some puff paints. Then Diana reminded me of the extra weight that the paint will add to my total weight. I laughed because it does mean extra weight, even if in grams. And there are people who cut the handle of their toothbrush in half just to remove a few grams!! So no more decorating.OH.... and the little smears? Courtesy of my doggie Shiloh whose happy tail swished through the wet paint. Shiloh now sports a colorful tail.
