Welcome Back!
I’ve been trying hard (but not too hard) to keep up with my memory keeping in one of my planners and I am proud to report, that I have been pretty successful!
Here is what I have accomplished for the month of July!
Our focus this week was to get ready for our Fourth of July party, Jason going to the Guns and Roses concert and Jack getting his dream drum set for his early birthday gift! I added a 3×4 pocket page for extra pictures and journaling (which I have not done yet.) Washi tape, ephemera packs and stickers are my best friends! Memory Bound also sells an amazingly huge variety of die cuts. I purchased the Dory die cut before seeing the movie and it worked perfect with the movie ticket!
Below, I left a large space for journaling about the party. I also need to tell about my adventures creating my new blog!
The next week was HOT! We went to a movie, hung out at the pool and our town has Summerfest, which is a big carnival. The wristband “Sam’s Amusements” is from the carnival night…fit perfectly into the page.
Lots going on for Jack’s birthday week! Jack had a Lego camp and lacrosse camp. Sam went water skiing with friends. Included a receipt this week of how much I spent on gas. Thought that would be fun to look back at in the future. Again, I included an extra refill page for more pictures of Jack’s birthday.
More pictures and journaling about Jack’s birthday celebration with family. Most of the stickers I use are from 12×12 sticker sheets that I purchase from Memory Bound!
Currently, I am working on the last week of July and the past few weeks of August. I must say, I really like this method of memory keeping because it is fast and I have control of the sizes of the items I include in my book. No trying to cut or print pictures to the “just right” size!
Finally I am reaching memory keeping peace!
(For this month!)
