March is ending in just a little more than a week, so I’m starting to think about how I want to remember this month. I want to be sure I have pictures and words to document the memories of March, and I’m giving you a gentle reminder to do the same. So it’s a great time to start thinking about the monthly roundup!

I’m so excited to share my newest tutorial. Weather impacts our stories and often sets the scene for many of our life memories. Let me show you how to include all types of weather moments in your memory keeping.

I’m traveling right now and will be for the next few days so I apologize that I don’t have much happening on my blog this week. I definitely have some great things planned for when I return.

I’ve got the month of February all wrapped up and I’m loving the month-in-review approach more than ever! If you aren’t familiar with my monthly roundups, be sure to check out this post. There is even a video tutorial included! I had a lot of stories to tell from February, so my pages have a lot of journaling on them. Those are my favorite kind of layouts because I love including so many details that I know we will all be grateful for when we look at these pages in the future.

It’s time to do a month-in-review of February. I love to take a memory inventory at the end of the month and document it all to add to our family albums. This is my 17th (SEVENTEEN!) year of doing monthly roundups. I started this routine in January of 2006, and it’s my most helpful tool for meaningful and easy memory keeping.

Can you believe that February ends in 5 days? Well, it's true, and I'm here to remind you to be sure you are taking the time and actions to document your life this month. To make the memory roundup even better this year, I've committed to sending a little nudge out into the universe when the month is coming to a close.

I have been on a real creative bender lately with my digital designing. I’ve had so many ideas that it has been hard for me to keep up with my brain! I’m finding that I can get lost in photoshop for hours. It’s been a lot of fun, but I’ve noticed that I’ve had very little creative energy left for other projects like blogging. It’s reminded me that while there is no end to creativity, there are limits on creative time and energy.

Weather is such a big part of our lives. The weather often dictates what type of activities we can participate in and the setting for so many events. One of the things I'm most excited about with my Monthly Memories designs is how easy it is to add themed pieces that coordinate with the entire collection.

I’ve been working hard on several upcoming projects, so that means that I’ve fallen a bit behind in my blogging. I feel like I need a couple of catch-up days. Does anyone out there remember my old “catch-up” posts where I also included an image of a ketchup bottle? Let’s do one of those to get back on track!
