july memory planner

seriously...
where has the summer gone???
as i am reflecting back over this month...i am like...i knew it would happen...but july is gone!
and all i have left of it is this little o' memory planner...

this month kept us busy and on the move and exploring and doing with family and friends.
i will be adding to the july pockets the next few days as there is so much more i want to share.

it all started with that little birthday we call here in the states the 4th of July. the intent was for these pages to really reflect that by way of stars and stripes and stars and blue and stars. did you see the stars?

the negative created from die cutting stars out of the Hello Today paper was a fun addition to a pocket page. some thickers were added for emphasis.

i also used a 3x4 card from the Hello Today paper pad as an additional space for journaling.
oh and look...another family photo...7 for 7... yes! these are rare, people, i'm tellin' you. they say you have 18 summers with your kids. well this would be our oldest son's 19th summer...so we are actually only getting part time with him this year. but i take what i can.

and so that is my little story of july and the memory planner. celebrating our country's birthday. writing down one little thing every day. trying to keep track. slowing the blur a bit. thats what its all about. now off to august...and all it has to offer us. off to august. looking forward to what that month has in store as i find my one little thing every day.

hope you too are writing down your one little thing every day too. enjoy the journey.
