DAYS 1 - 3

Day 1 | My Reasons To Document
My list is written on vellum and added to my journal page. I find that using a Sharpie Fine Liner works wonderfully on the vellum with no smudges at all.

Using the back side of the kraft bag, I added my title using a combination of letter stickers and handwriting. I'm a huge fan of including my own handwriting in my memory keeping projects. Years from now, I'm hoping that my kids will be thrilled to have a sample of my lettering just as I am thrilled to have handwritten notes from my grandparents.

Day 2 | Stories to Tell
...so many stories to tell. This year, I'll try to capture them from their point-of-view.

The stamped die cut was part of the embellishment kit and I added the title using a scrap strip of Kraft paper atop the washi tape on the right side.

Day 3 |  Today's Playlist
The Backstory and an Oxymoron. We stopped listening to the local country music station because of the news being reported that was always so dreadful but more than that, it was the music being played...such dreadful lyrics and situations for the tender ears of my 13- and 15-year olds.

But, ironically, we listen to 80s on 8 on Sirius XM and I just pray that they don't hear the garbled lyrics and are only listening to the music. Bad Mommy!
