I’m sharing the April roundup graphic today because the next few days are very busy ones in the world of scrapbooking. Saturday, May 1st is International Scrapbook Day! I will have a new collection hitting the shop and plenty of fun ideas to share in my latest newsletter. Get ready for a great weekend!

So let’s get going with the roundup prompts:

Here it is in written list form in case you would rather copy and paste this for your own use.

Take time to document April and fill in the following:

• Holidays, celebrations, special occasions,

• What you watched - shows, movies, plays, performances, etc.

• What you listened to - music, podcasts, audiobooks, etc.

• Books you read and things you learned

• News - personal, local, national, international

• Other ideas - weather events, favorite finds, foods you ate, memes & humor

You can do daily, weekly, or monthly recaps - it’s totally up to you. I like to make sure I don’t go any longer than a month without recording these details or it just gets too hard to remember. I’ve been doing monthly roundups each month since January of 2006. It’s my most useful memory-keeping tool!

And here’s a fun little GIF-ready template to use for Instagram stories if you want to play along.

It’s ok to start doing roundups any time - you don’t have to wait for the beginning of a new year. Just start where you are right now. You will be glad you did!
