Continuing on sharing my Memory Planner pages with these from February. I find myself doing more journaling this year and I’m loving it.
January Memory Planner Pages
Finally ready to show off my January Memory Planner Pages. I’m once again using a Big Happy Planner to document life this year. I collected all my supplies and dove into the pages. On my monthly wrap-up page, I’m including a screenshot from my UnRead Shelf Project post in Instagram.
Currently
Reading: Things in Jars by Jess Kidd - One of my Book of the Month selections. It’s a strange story reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes with a dash of actual fantasy thrown in. I’m really digging it so far!
Watching: We’re currently balancing a light show (Making It S2) and a dark show (Broadchurch S2) before we embark on a movie week.
Listening: Randomly picking albums to listen to while making meals. The other day is was Invented from Jimmy Eat World.
Making: Back at the Project Life spreads. I’m so close to finishing Arthur’s 2018 Album. Just about 50 more photos to print. and a few more weeks to journal.
Feeling: Tired. This whole thing has exhausted me daily. Sleeping 8 hours isn’t even touching my exhaustion.
Planning: We’re shooting for the grocery store once every two - two and half weeks. That means I really need to get creative about what to buy and when so things do not go bad before using.
Loving: With all the crazy, I have found time to read daily. Working in at least an hour every day.

Sunday Haul #2
I realize that with the move and everything, I haven’t really bought many craft supplies int he last few months. I did grab this assortment from a FB flash sale from Nerd’s the Word.
I also took advantage of a flash sale at Fabulously Planned for this haul.
May Crafting Goals
What I said for April : I truly had the goal of getting my craft room all set up by the end of March and then COVID-19 happened. Everything seems to have sped up and slowed down at the same time. My craft room is still completely empty and I haven’t painted or ordered the shelving units yet. So my goal this month is to do those two things. Hopefully I can do some small craft projects in the meantime.
My craft room has been painted and ready to move into. Unfortunately Ikea is now having stock issues and I couldn’t get my shelving unit ordered yet. I definitely have enough supplies to organize them a bit and get back to crafting. I have some big goals this coming month, including getting back to documenting some of my crafting here on the blog.
May’s Goals:
Make a list of craft projects (to complete and to start) - I loved starting with a large list of projects so I know exactly what I want to dive into.
Send out May birthday cards - I’m been sending these every month, just want to keep it up.
Send out May pick-me-up cards - In this weird time, I want to send some cards out.
Finish April Memory Planner Pages - Many of the pics have been printed, just need to journal and decorate.
Organize Craft Supplies - I’m thinking I’m just going to make piles of like supplies to see what I have and hope that I can order my shelves later this month.
Finish Arthur’s 2018 PL Album - #1 project I want to finish soon…
April Crafting Goals
What I said for March: We’re moving this month. Only about 1 mile away, but still it’s moving an entire house. While the craft room and library will be one of the first random rooms to be completed, right now it’s in tatters. I’m going to put all craft projects on hold until at least April. Hoping that things settle fairly quickly so I can get back to it.

Currently
Reading: Invisible Women by Caroline Criado-Perez. This book is infuriating (in a very informative way), but still makes me so mad.
Watching: J and I binged The Witcher this past week. Oh so good…
Listening: Catching up on my podcasts. I’ve really been digging The To Read List lately.
Making: Working on the overall design for our new house. Been watching a ton of YouTube videos and making wish lists. Closing is this Friday!
Feeling: Unfortunately, I caught that cold that all the kids had. I hate blowing my nose every two minutes.
Planning: Finally nailing down the our activities for the Kindergarten Valentine’s Day party.
Loving: Every once in awhile, my nose clears and I can breathe. It is glorious!
