welcome to the almost last day of the month...
and what a month it has been...
This Memory Planner has provided me with such a beautiful way to capture the many things that happened this past month. To get them in a place I know I will revisit again. To have them and hold them and to capture the blur that is my life right now.
This month I kept my One Little Word in focus again by creating a digital die cut and sewing it onto card stock watercolored with Color Shine. And I also continue to purposefully capture all 7 of us in a month so that I can add to my monthly pockets too. Soooooo important right now as this month revealed that my days are truly numbered as to how much longer I will be able to do that. On the awesome Hello Today 3x4 Card I added details of our Easter (journaling not here yet). Every year we always wonder what we did the previous year, and this was a perfect way to capture that.
I am also very inclined to capture each of my kids separately. Had fun playing with matte gel and the new die cuts too. Spectacular just seemed to be the perfect word.
This month I used my numbered list for people. People who spoke into that day. Or I into theirs. The school director helping with my daughters academic challenges. The surprise dear friend who visited. The friend who bought me dinner. My mom in light of her cancer surgery. The photo was taken half way through the month, but it was added to daily.
I created this little mini composition book as I have been reading a most amazing book called The Happiest Life by Hugh Hewitt. It will be given to many seniors this May. And I have been writing down so many notes from it so I created a glassine pocket and this slips in there and is very available for me to refer back to. One of my favorite things on April's pages.
I am always inspired by Jen and Kim and the flaps they add to their books, so I added one to my book this month for a bit of hidden journaling. It all just causes me to be happy that I have this home to record these thoughts, memories and photos.
And what a great Mom's day gift this would make. For that lady in your life that plays Mom...you just might want to consider such a gift as this for her. It's never too late to start. And you could make it all pretty. But above all, I am hoping you are taking time everyday in your life to record your #onelittlething...or two...or three...
till next time...
