Our July was an interesting mix of social visits (hooray!), watching our favorite shows, and several medical tests for me. I'm fine, but I seem to be a bit of a mystery to the doctors right now. I've had enlarged lymph nodes in my armpits for 5 months (started before I got the vaccine) and some concerning breast lumps, but everything has turned out normal so far. I've had 3 mammograms, 2 ultrasounds, and 1 biopsy. Then I had several more biopsies during my colonoscopy & endoscopy procedures. Doctor thought everything looked fine so it will be good to find out for sure.

I love doing roundup pages because I probably wouldn't include these type of details in our scrapbooks otherwise. I don't feel like I need a theme or even very many supplies to make it meaningful. It's a great way to capture the everyday moments and put them all together. I didn't include any 4th of July photos because I will do a separate 2 page spread layout for that.

Even if you don't do monthly roundups, I still highly recommend doing some "catch-all" type of pages to include the random life details. Those are important!

Here are the “ingredients” of my page:

• This Month template

• Paper from my Color Stories Black & White paper pack

• Covid graphic from The New York Times

• Blank card and numbers template for Utah statistics

• This Month card

• Hello growth word art by Ali Edwards

• Myriad Pro and Orator Std. fonts

Have you done your roundup yet? It’s not too late. It’s very meaningful to have a record of our everyday lives each month!
