For this year's WITL, I kept pushing my week off until finally fall came and I picked September 16th - 22nd. I had a random album in my stash and used that. For my base pages, I pulled paper from a variety of stashes, but I did stick to brighter colors. For insert cards, I used some Week in the Life cards from Ali Edwards. I love the coordinating colors. Today’s post features my cover page, Monday, and Tuesday.

I’m actually in between projects right now. I finished my 2019 Week in the Life album on Sunday. I started prepping for my 2020 Week in the Life album, but am currently documenting so the supplies are just on hold. I should pull out my Memory Planner and finish my May pages next.

April’s pages… more weirdness due to the global pandemic. My pages have a lot more pictures from home and media being consumed.
Reading: I’m rereading Circe by Madeline Miller for May’s Girly Book Club. I’m also finishing The Deep by Alma Katsu.
Watching: Continuing our May Movie Month. We just did a string of three YA scifi movies: The Darkest Minds (terrible), Mortal Engines (very pretty, but not great), and Alita: Battle Angel (confusing).
Listening: Lots of podcasts like usual, but I always make time for Corona Virus Daily from NPR.
Making: Working on various Project Life pages. I’m still finishing Arthur’s 2018 album, but have started the family 2019 album and the WITL 2019 album.
Feeling: Life with the teenagers has been pretty tense this past week. Not quite sure what’s going on right now, but hoping we can get to the bottom of this conflict soon.
Planning: Arthur is officially done with Kindergarten, but we’re not going to stop learning. As we cannot really visit various places, I’m setting up weekly theme units to get us through the summer. First up is Art History with lots of hands-on projects.
Loving: I picked up some stacks of rhubarb from the grocery and have really enjoyed the strawberry-rhubarb crumble I made from them.
March’s Memory Planner Pages got really weird after social distancing and quarantining went into effect. Less pics of us out doing things and more home based activities. At the end of the month, I included my special page detailing my birthday day out.

Another December Daily album. I once again went to a 6x8” album for my pages. The base pages all came from the same kit Santa Stops Here from Bella Blvd. Instead of doing a page for every day, I took all the photos and events and made an album. I really love my color palette for this year’s album. Plus I used a ton of scraps, journaling cards, and embellishments from my stash.

Something a little different for today. As I’m putting together my new craft/library room (tour once it’s done!), I’ve been trying to mentally organize all the projects that I have started and not finished or not even started at all. So I made a master list for myself! I will be checking in with this list every two months or so. And I’m sure I will be adding to do periodically. My goal is to get 75% of these projects finished by year’s end.
