December and Holiday Memories

I’m releasing my December designs a little early to help you get ahead on your holiday memory keeping. Whether you document each day of December or just the big highlights, it helps to have the supplies ready to go ahead of time to make the most of your time during a season filled with memory-making.

I’m excited to use these for my photobooks and memory-keeping projects!

October is such a fun month for our family. We go all out for Halloween, and we also get to celebrate Alex’s birthday. I love that the days are getting cooler and the autumn sun shines on all the changing leaves and landscapes. It’s one of my favorite times of year for outdoor photography.

I hope you enjoy the coming month and all of my brand-new designs!

August Memories and Beach Fun

I’m very much enjoying August this year. I’ve had a lot of time with family, and I’m trying to savor the last bits of summer before we head into the fall months.

August is one of the busiest months for vacations in the United States, as many people try to fit in one last vacation before school starts. I love going to the beach, and while designing the Beach Fun papers and pocket cards, I longed for another trip. I need to get a beach vacay on our calendar next year!

July Memories and Barbecues & Picnics

July has been full of projects for me and my family, and it has been difficult to find design time. I'm so happy to finish this collection finally. I already have several pages in my head that I know these supplies will be perfect for.

One of the things I love most about summer is eating outside. Picnics, barbecues, and meals on our deck are lovely ways to connect social activity with food. And that means more memories!

June Memories and Road Trip

I'm back! I'm finally on the mend after being sick with Covid for over two weeks. I still have a cough and feel pretty wiped out, but I'm grateful that I'm not any worse. I lost half a month to illness, but I'm counting my blessings. I don't want to sound overly dramatic, but I don't think I would have fared as well without being vaccinated and taking Paxlovid. I'm so glad to be back on my feet!

Thankfully, I started working on my June collections early in May, so I could finish them up this weekend and get them loaded in my shop. I'm excited about the themes for this month. Let's take a look at all the goodies!

Resources for year-end recaps

I happen to love year-end reviews because they give me so much material to use for recording our memories of the year. Of course, they are a lot more fun to read when the news is better than it has been over the past year, but it’s still important to take some time to reflect on what has been happening around us in the world. It’s also a great way to jog your memory to think about what was happening in your own life that coincided with these events. I’ve been saving links to some great resources as I find them, and I will continue to update this list if I see anything else worth adding.
