Hey everyone I'm back on the blog for a little fun this happy Tuesday. At least I hope it's a happy day where you are. As we push closer to the end of the year, many regions of the world are gearing up for winter. The color, snowy season that blankets the earth with its wonder. Of course with winter and snow come lots of outdoor activities (and indoor ones too) as well as things like shoveling and of course, our favorite holiday, Christmas. lolI was browsing the winter section of the shop earlier and saw so many wonderful things that can help us document all those cold memories. One thing I was really interested in seeing was the template options so I figured I'd come over to the blog and share them here too. I wanted to find options with clear winter themes and others that may not be specifically themed but could definitely work to winterize my pages.The template area of the … [Read more...]

Document Your December: List Style
Today I am going to share with you a new to me approach to Document Your December.December is a busy month and while it is important to me to document all of the memories, I don't always have time to be super creative. I have learned, after a few years of incomplete DYD projects (insert sad face), that simplicity is what works for me. This year, I am following a simplified approach to the Document Your December concept by using lists. I am a note taker and a list maker at heart. If it weren't for keeping lists I wouldn't be able to remember all of the things that need to be done in my daily life. Earlier this year I found a community of listers. Yes! I am not alone. There are others that "love to list" as much, if not more, than myself. I have been "creatively listing" everything from the grocery list to wish lists ever since. Fast forward to June, when I was introduced … [Read more...]
