30 Days of Lists | days 1 through 10

My little mixed media mini book is getting a workout! I open it at least once a day, sometimes more, as I think about and then create my list for the day. May I share my first 10 days of class lists with you?

September 1 | Goals for the Month

Using the inside of the folded kraft bag, I began with my first day's list. I've not yet filled out the tabbed ATC sized card inside the front pocket...I might use it as a recap page. And I also did not write on the front of the kraft bag. Yet.

September 2 | I Am

One of my very favorite tricks is about to be revealed. You know those $1 stamp bins at Michaels? The ones that are cute but have a totally offbeat phrase? Buy it anyway. I do, and then get Gordon {because if I do it, I would have to go find my glasses first} to get his Dremel and swish away the words I don't want. What remains is a very cute bracket stamp to be used for journaling. Here are just two examples of his handiness. Oh and the jagged edges? Came about because his hand slipped, so he just sanded off a little bit all the way around to give it a rugged | shabby look. LOVE IT...do you?

September 3 | People I Love

My Sweetie is Gordon, of course. Zach, Isabella and Victoria are my children. James is my brother. Chad is my brother-in-law. {Both are still single BTW!} Margaret is a long-time friend. Patty is a longer-time friend...since 8th grade and she's the one who got me into scrapbooking in the first place. 

September 4 | Things To Do On A Sunday Morning

You might notice that I am using my own handwriting for the journaling and most of the titles as well. It's not that I don't have a ton of letter stickers I could have used, I am just on a whim {lately} for using my own handwriting. Will my kids think I had silly penmanship? Will they wonder why I didn't capitalize my sentences? Will they be able to decipher my words? Will they be happy to have something their Mom wrote? Yes. Yes. Maybe. YES!

September 5 | Things I Need An App For

The small circle labels {included in the kit} seemed perfect for this one word list.

September 6 | Fave Color Combos

Hmmm, how did I miss adding lime & aqua to this list? Added the two included button as an embellishment to the shipping tag string bow.

September 7 | I Am Not Very Good At

Used my stash of baker's twine from The Twinery as a page embellishment here. Love polka dots and lime and aqua blue together!

September 8 | Things That Remind Me Of My Childhood

Mimicking the outline of the bracket shape, I listed my title and date for today's list. Should have added short hair as another bullet. I don't think I had long hair {only shoulder length at that} until I was a Junior or Senior in high school.

September 9 | Weekend Plans

Using some file folder labels, I wrote my list and then trimmed the labels to fit onto my transparency page. The date was added with a small bit of leftover label on the bottom left.

September 10 | At This Moment

I tied the mini tag included in the kit to the o-wire to serve as the title for this day.
