Happy Tuesday!<br />
<br />
Today I'm sharing a layout I created for Foundations Decor/Fancy Pants Designs...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This layout was SO FUN to put together...and it definitely has me longing for warm summer days spent with friends...<br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of my favorite things about this layout is the background...is that weird?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Probably.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is the paper I used...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I know, I know...this probably doesn't <i>look</i> like the perfect background paper...but it works perfectly for this layout. When topped with the other background papers, it creates this cool colorblock look I love.<br />
<br />
I took another sheet of this same design...cut it down a bit...and used the "B" side as the next layer of my background.<br />
<br />
Then I cut down a sheet a white cardstock to make the final layer of my background.<br />
<b><br /></b>
I added my photo and then began layering ephemera & tags.<br />
<br />
I played around with things quite a bit before I decided on a design I really love...<br />

I added a few journaling strips & some puffy dots, and then I stamped the <a href="https://www.kerribradford.com/product/stamps-inked/"><i>PERFECT</i> ink splotches</a> exactly where I wanted them.</div>
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
**<span style="color: #134f5c;">TIP</span>: Use adhesive dots to adhere layers to your page. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This will give your embellishments depth and will add visual interest**</div>

We're going through a cold snap here in Chicago, so, unfortunately, the next week staying home may be a little more difficult...ugh.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
BUT, that's OK...we're one day closer to normal, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How about a look at Day 5 in my "think HAPPY" TN?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is another super simple spread that came together quickly, and without too many supplies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To create this design, I printed out a single photo, and cut it down the middle. I matted each side of the photo on a cut of white cardstock, and then adhered them across the middle of my notebook.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I typed up my journaling on some white cardstock and then cut and added each strip to the right-hand side of my spread.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, I cut some strips of patterned paper (just slightly over 1/4" wide) and added them to the top and bottom of each side of my notebook.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally, I added a few more little embellishments and called it a day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>This basic layout can be customized simply by...</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
*Changing the orientation of the photo or paper strips </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
*Using washi tape instead of paper to embellish the edges of your notebook</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
*Handwriting your journaling</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
*Keeping your photo on one side of your spread, and moving all of the journaling & embellishments to the other side</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
*Adding patterned paper to your notebook pages to create a background for your photo</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope you have a wonderful week! </div>

<br />
Here's today's spread...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN-dw6ucbcQXmN0AblQucH8eGdc8IbI_ZiBfjZnQ5_NmOh7tzstwXm7ohYhVWJukaDbJXDtFnEeAYWhOPAd3R2ZzMb1VNsTYXog2mrQyu7SazvR-mRJmyL_vxSWmpw841wEwP2QyY_As0/s1600/DSC06299.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="846" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN-dw6ucbcQXmN0AblQucH8eGdc8IbI_ZiBfjZnQ5_NmOh7tzstwXm7ohYhVWJukaDbJXDtFnEeAYWhOPAd3R2ZzMb1VNsTYXog2mrQyu7SazvR-mRJmyL_vxSWmpw841wEwP2QyY_As0/s1600/DSC06299.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
This is probably one of my most simple spreads in the notebook...but it's also one of my favorites...and I made it with just a single photo and a set of stamps (and a sticker...😊...oh, and a little piece of patterned paper...that's it...).<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrDEUQ9w8ISIx_kwLJ7magMwtDKW27qkTZ0cULci-cacWMONhCsiuko1bT2H4JCU0adOQL_9V0Nbr0T-OznpTRVgtFo6D61HU6rmvJACkRmlC9z1hcRkM03ZbNkjdGIViRais8V8hBsmM/s1600/DSC06359.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="566" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrDEUQ9w8ISIx_kwLJ7magMwtDKW27qkTZ0cULci-cacWMONhCsiuko1bT2H4JCU0adOQL_9V0Nbr0T-OznpTRVgtFo6D61HU6rmvJACkRmlC9z1hcRkM03ZbNkjdGIViRais8V8hBsmM/s1600/DSC06359.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I layered & overlapped the stamps and my journaling a bit to make them look a little more natural and utilitarian. I love the look of all of the old-timey notebooks and journals...and a little less deliberate look really makes me think of those older books.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for taking a little time out of your day today to stop by!<br />
<br />

I was cleaning out part of my craft room and came across this photo of my daughter from 2004.<br />
<br />
I knew right away it would be perfect to use with these new stamps...and I love the way this spread turned out!<br />
<br />

</div>
<br />
To start this project, I cut out two pieces of patterned paper to fit inside my notebook. I do this when I don't want to work on the plain white pages that are standard in the books or when the patterned paper the book is created with isn't my favorite...😏.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmQWYhTm6LnhA1ypxtPOiGzTUPTEkFiV5W1ZzZO2Cyta2MQwg1FFwbCqd0zRVDLJYEL2WaAxh-B8R-ACmoVP6x0smyFUR5iZMlWIlCchc34fXNcEeGmTXsxYoc1iUIr5NRD1K5rb-YLSY/s1600/DSC06390.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="595" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmQWYhTm6LnhA1ypxtPOiGzTUPTEkFiV5W1ZzZO2Cyta2MQwg1FFwbCqd0zRVDLJYEL2WaAxh-B8R-ACmoVP6x0smyFUR5iZMlWIlCchc34fXNcEeGmTXsxYoc1iUIr5NRD1K5rb-YLSY/s1600/DSC06390.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
I adhered my photo to my left-hand page, and then I ran it through my typewriter to add my journaling.<br />
<br />
Then I adhered the entire page to the paper in my notebook.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2CI_RBqdrXV6Qf27BB82NoCCyBmoz1mqaIWlmIxxJgtxRDf0QXuxfUQpaVyozljiDb9bBoOLXiaEendCG-WHZykdhy5oy-zG-hOSIiDXABB7_AJvZLnCxkEZdxXVEj_jvZOzqTQqrvjs/s1600/DSC06404.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="566" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2CI_RBqdrXV6Qf27BB82NoCCyBmoz1mqaIWlmIxxJgtxRDf0QXuxfUQpaVyozljiDb9bBoOLXiaEendCG-WHZykdhy5oy-zG-hOSIiDXABB7_AJvZLnCxkEZdxXVEj_jvZOzqTQqrvjs/s1600/DSC06404.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I grabbed some inks that complemented the colors in my photos and then I got to work on the right-hand side of my spread.<br />
<br />
I started by stamping the little bunny bum, and then I just worked up & down the page using stamp designs that fit with my spread.<br />
<br />
Finally, I adhered the right-hand page to the page in my notebook.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The design for this page is really simple...but it's one that I use over and over, because it can be changed up with different colors and stamps.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for stopping by...😘<br />
<br />
I hope I've inspired you to maybe grab an old photo and document it!<br />

<br />
Welcome back!<br />
<br />
I took a few weeks off to try to wrap my head around this whole pandemic thing, but now I'm back!<br />
<br />
The kids started virtual learning this morning, so I figured now was as good a time as any to get back on the horse myself...<br />
<br />
Before my little hiatus, I had started sharing each of the spreads in my latest TN...you can find those posts <a href="https://www.midwesterngirldiy.com/2020/03/a-look-through-my-latest-tn-day-1.html">HERE</a> and <a href="https://www.midwesterngirldiy.com/2020/03/a-look-through-my-latest-tn-day-2.html">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
And here's Day 3!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZlmg5fYFIUkrj34HUZlBW78mk32sGvhStGPS6eVNBhwMFT_xRTwJxqxYlMzOViL2Pi4AEvdXhAFk-SxOTdF5qeC3PLl-5G6Rg65Qdll2sSd-yqteX1_ywsOlS4BUeQkoCTjUEJsIsiYg/s1600/DSC06297.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="846" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZlmg5fYFIUkrj34HUZlBW78mk32sGvhStGPS6eVNBhwMFT_xRTwJxqxYlMzOViL2Pi4AEvdXhAFk-SxOTdF5qeC3PLl-5G6Rg65Qdll2sSd-yqteX1_ywsOlS4BUeQkoCTjUEJsIsiYg/s1600/DSC06297.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
For this spread I used several photos...each sized about 3"x4".<br />
<br />
I added two photos to the left-hand side, and then used a strip of washi to fill out the remaining space on the page.<br />
<br />
On the right-hand side, I added one photo to the top and some journaling and a couple of embellishments to the bottom.<br />
<br />
<b>To change up this basic layout, why not try...</b><br />
<br />
*Switching up the arrangement of the basic elements. Move the photos & embellishments/journaling around the give you a new design<br />
*Using page-filling photos or journaling spots OR use several smaller-sized photos<br />
*Filling each page with photos and tucking your journaling in behind. Try writing your story on tags that can be pulled out from behind your photos. If you do this, make sure to adhere your photos to your page on only the sides and bottom...forming a little pocket to hold your journaling tag.<br />
<br />
<br />
Stay safe & healthy! I'll be back Wednesday with spread 4...<br />

Here we are at Day 2 of our look through my latest TN!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let's get right to it...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyOZ3WG2zAamk6E7kHHTFwDrgj2_ECj7PKs5g7n-6jIJ4PMCAx4hFiyE2f3CAxsC5HzzFVKvsze6AQxKsOJQzBeueqT8MhqxNHZO7_EYjJp7fL86IDdz_D6ampwYtOBJFiB9CRVaxaN2k/s1600/DSC06294.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="843" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyOZ3WG2zAamk6E7kHHTFwDrgj2_ECj7PKs5g7n-6jIJ4PMCAx4hFiyE2f3CAxsC5HzzFVKvsze6AQxKsOJQzBeueqT8MhqxNHZO7_EYjJp7fL86IDdz_D6ampwYtOBJFiB9CRVaxaN2k/s1600/DSC06294.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These pages, like the first ones, document Christmas 2018, but this spread could definitely be used for any occasion. There's nothing too overtly "holiday-ish" about it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here I added my photo to the left-hand side (you'll soon realize that a full-size photo is my favorite format for my notebooks).</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH8Ryu-7z2KLkt55lb9YA3fmkQc0j2INlQHfRXZK1luL3MdYErWRDWMiQP7Bf2GkuZBo9o6NqlbV-zKzKw-vFIYGeSoVsnnW_rAcLDEuDeVzj9kux4SaRTfkvHKg2nGJDWpABkp5hdLkE/s1600/DSC06360.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="566" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH8Ryu-7z2KLkt55lb9YA3fmkQc0j2INlQHfRXZK1luL3MdYErWRDWMiQP7Bf2GkuZBo9o6NqlbV-zKzKw-vFIYGeSoVsnnW_rAcLDEuDeVzj9kux4SaRTfkvHKg2nGJDWpABkp5hdLkE/s1600/DSC06360.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One the opposite side, I started by layering some stickers...first the circle, then the "love," and then the heart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
**<span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>NOTE</b></span>: Overlapping stickers or ephemera pieces like this adds dimension and visual interest. But remember, if you're going to type on your labels/stickers, make sure you do it <i>before </i>you add them to your spread. It's next to impossible to get a notebook to run through your typewrite easily.**</div>
<br />
Next, I typed up some journaling strips and then added them to the page.<br />
<br />
Finally, I added a strip of washi tape to each side of my spread to make the layout cohesive.<br />
<br />
This clean, simple layout came together so easily and can be repeated over & over.<br />
<br />
<b>Try following these steps to change things up</b>:<br />
<br />
*Use patterned paper to create your own embellishments<br />
*Draw pencil lines directly on your pages to keep things straight, and then add your journaling using your handwriting<br />
*Add washi tape to the top & bottom of your spread - across your pages<br />
<br />
<br />
Have any questions about how I create my spreads?<br />
<br />

Thank you so much for stopping by...I'll be back Monday with spread 3!<br />

There are few things more satisfying than finishing something you started what seems like forever ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started this notebook in January 2019, and I just added the last spread...yayayay!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUBHjI3LAwZFaYnDWvKhug_tTvKtAHiUUhOZVcGC2pNgqmhqKE-augHsNzwXa6WsU6JhnXJA2khImehPvOHT5TsJnjY9Ct2Wy7r7O0gZZ9gS2Ok8qYF2TXXwuG_rbTZG_dl7QBWaNaOV0/s1600/DSC06290.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="847" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUBHjI3LAwZFaYnDWvKhug_tTvKtAHiUUhOZVcGC2pNgqmhqKE-augHsNzwXa6WsU6JhnXJA2khImehPvOHT5TsJnjY9Ct2Wy7r7O0gZZ9gS2Ok8qYF2TXXwuG_rbTZG_dl7QBWaNaOV0/s1600/DSC06290.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I thought it might be fun to take a little more detailed look through it over the next few weeks!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just so you know...there is no rhyme or reason to this book.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The spreads are in no particular order, chronological or otherwise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sometimes I just opened up the book and added my spread to whatever blank pages were available.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And that's OK by me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's the fact that I actually got the event/moments/photos documented that's important.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's we go...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHtGlyLe4MA5ucd93gBwKN1egdhOeWDdmfviUUknz3t42YE0R_a32Bqlh6XHqETreSR8LAhXqj51qLLvXcVCKfPJ_pek04fggSotm2V03BdfnqGWvw1DMHYCFaZ5yphCSXRF04MHYB11Y/s1600/DSC06293.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="846" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHtGlyLe4MA5ucd93gBwKN1egdhOeWDdmfviUUknz3t42YE0R_a32Bqlh6XHqETreSR8LAhXqj51qLLvXcVCKfPJ_pek04fggSotm2V03BdfnqGWvw1DMHYCFaZ5yphCSXRF04MHYB11Y/s1600/DSC06293.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now this first spread is obviously from Christmastime and was for a blog post for Heidi Swapp entitled <a href="https://www.heidiswapp.com/journal-studio-5-ways-to-create-in-your-journal/">Journal Studio | 5 Ways to Document in Your Journal</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I added a photo of our tree to the right-hand side, and then I added the word "magical" to the bottom. A little pink star sticker sits on top of the tree.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibQLTt7OXdMb7fgnSw1vTgXX611v2dLiRI9XOiv_cBUHOOGViZoKWcb6pcqYeobPRRd0t2n6qbVEQQIdf6zTBkv6O03eQ29LqmJd2RtRSrNLTA2mcZU7wDamh5ZBzISU7TqJdF7myxik4/s1600/DSC06361.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="566" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibQLTt7OXdMb7fgnSw1vTgXX611v2dLiRI9XOiv_cBUHOOGViZoKWcb6pcqYeobPRRd0t2n6qbVEQQIdf6zTBkv6O03eQ29LqmJd2RtRSrNLTA2mcZU7wDamh5ZBzISU7TqJdF7myxik4/s1600/DSC06361.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the left-hand side, I covered the blank notebook page with a piece of patterned paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
**<span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>NOTE</b></span>: I try to choose my patterned paper so as not to compete with my photo. If my photo has a lot of color/pattern, I try to choose a paper that is more subdued. For this spread, I chose a more colorful paper to offset the basic black/gold of my photo.**</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, I cut out a little rectangle of vellum, and adhered it to my paper on both sides and the bottom to create a little pocket.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used a piece of baker's twine to string together two tags...and on the bottom tag I added my journaling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>There are so many ways you could change this layout up to create your spread</b>...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
*Reverse your photo and patterned paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
*Use patterned paper or even another photo to create your "pocket"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
*Replace the large photo with 2 or 3 smaller ones</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the things I love most about scrapbooking is that just by changing up one or two things, you can make your spreads/layouts look entirely different from one another.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoLu83kXpf270vm24CO5vr5A_5y2rNEpqE8czDFszJLa8xX2CvYJUgyOkrXbi-ekv-aMAfu6FPvdNNjhlN6YkLYa-r4X1cYf2lDiujfkWIC4gOQ9xPNhrkJPp7NcoOaCUU0QEYfp1pVCQ/s1600/DSC06291.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="597" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoLu83kXpf270vm24CO5vr5A_5y2rNEpqE8czDFszJLa8xX2CvYJUgyOkrXbi-ekv-aMAfu6FPvdNNjhlN6YkLYa-r4X1cYf2lDiujfkWIC4gOQ9xPNhrkJPp7NcoOaCUU0QEYfp1pVCQ/s1600/DSC06291.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
And that's spread 1!<br />
<br />
I'm so excited to share this notebook with you...<br />
<br />
Hopefully you'll be inspired to work in your own notebook, or to try something new!<br />
<br />

Here's how I used the <a href="https://www.techniquetuesday.com/emojis-stamp-set-with-matching-dies.html">bundled set</a> (both the emoji stamps & the dies) to create a card and some coordinating confetti...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDZor1wBvDiot0n9wdxyWEm9PYio_FzP_-BXfUNyOPeSiQ_iRCI-WbSHBpW7UfXUrGa-U8R_WUNkKVw0Dt9jSPaosUHDOc5HIArFaR1y_ZTS0uTdAve4ITbIPPb1ppi8wFO95-UWC2UOY/s1600/DSC06215.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="650" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDZor1wBvDiot0n9wdxyWEm9PYio_FzP_-BXfUNyOPeSiQ_iRCI-WbSHBpW7UfXUrGa-U8R_WUNkKVw0Dt9jSPaosUHDOc5HIArFaR1y_ZTS0uTdAve4ITbIPPb1ppi8wFO95-UWC2UOY/s1600/DSC06215.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was so quick & easy to make...I just chose my stamp designs and my ink colors, and got to work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha2miQv2_wNcSaFA3nAJrknKwaQIlcyGTqy_6r7dphboJR0SEJFhivJ5NEKGq1kiVYUhxpSBw88Yv-9TbjtMH4lA3tWUkvha727LVuGuBfL8Tpyf_qwAAGKPTaTPccN1dhA4xiymQmuDE/s1600/DSC06205.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="850" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha2miQv2_wNcSaFA3nAJrknKwaQIlcyGTqy_6r7dphboJR0SEJFhivJ5NEKGq1kiVYUhxpSBw88Yv-9TbjtMH4lA3tWUkvha727LVuGuBfL8Tpyf_qwAAGKPTaTPccN1dhA4xiymQmuDE/s1600/DSC06205.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I typed out a quick sentiment and adhered it to the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHC5SDb2MFZTId4M2dzH9e1ZOynvrFoFEDxcczCQp5v8lXRwkw2mj1dzwIu3DGDfMiJKFTJsaEqwkoiJJfubyCxVJVKLBBTrqTGHO7LxAIulHFILWeT8zvNtS_Ep-pOVvDVIhWOnjTWMs/s1600/DSC06209.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="566" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHC5SDb2MFZTId4M2dzH9e1ZOynvrFoFEDxcczCQp5v8lXRwkw2mj1dzwIu3DGDfMiJKFTJsaEqwkoiJJfubyCxVJVKLBBTrqTGHO7LxAIulHFILWeT8zvNtS_Ep-pOVvDVIhWOnjTWMs/s1600/DSC06209.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next came the fun part...creating all of the confetti to put inside my card.</div>
<br />
I decided to keep my dies all connected so that I didn't have a bunch of small little emoji dies running around getting lost...so I did have to sort out the happy faces from the die cuts...but that was no big deal.<br />
<br />

I'm sitting here in my computer room...freezing my a$$ off...in the middle of a Chicagoland winter (which, in all fairness, has been incredibly mild - but still...winter)...looking at this photo of my daughter and her friends at The Grand Canyon last July (yes...Arizona in July)...and wishing desperately for some heat and sunshine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was putting this TN spread together the other day, and I was just so inspired by the colors in the photograph...the tans & browns, teals & yellows.</div>

<br />
They are just so warm and desert-y you know?<br />
<br />
They're really making me look forward to summer's long, hot days.<br />
<br />
I decided to accent those wonderful colors using these ephemera pieces from the Fancy Pants Designs Good Ol' Days collection...<br />

...and I think that, even though the collection has a more all-American summer/back-to-school vibe, I found some pieces that really work with my layout!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />I printed my photo at a width of 6" and then cut it to allow it to fit across the fold in my book.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I find that I sometimes struggle with creating notebook layouts that differ from one another because of the notebook's smaller size. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But, changing up my photo size definitely helps to keep things interesting.</div>

<br />
The horizontal phrase die-cuts, placed vertically alongside (and slightly overlapping) my photo also add to the visual interest of the spread.<br />
<br />
And my favorite part of the whole thing?<br />
<br />
The little rubber globe from the Good Ol' Days Silicone Shapes set.<br />

<br />
I created these cards using pre-made 5x7 cards that I just cut right down the middle - making two 5x3.5 cards.<br />
<br />
For the envelopes I did the same exact thing...just cut straight down the middle of a 5x7 envelope to create two new envelopes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After adding the cards to the envelopes, I used a little piece of washi to hold the envelope tops closed...easy peasy.</div>

This collection was filled with pinks & reds and was just perfect for documenting Valentine's Day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I wanted to challenge myself to use it to scrap one of my favorite summer photos...so I focused on using the blacks & yellows in the collection.</div>

When was the last time you documented <i>you</i>?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For me, the answer to that question is a loooooong time ago. I'm just not a get-out-in-front-of-the-camera-type-girl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But, Kinsley & I and a couple of our best girlfriends went to see "Mean Girls" a couple of weekends ago at the Nederlander Theatre in Chicago...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
...and, I did get manage to get a couple of photos I can live with...so I thought I should probably document them...seeing as how that doesn't happen very often (see the <a href="https://www.midwesterngirldiy.com/2020/01/storyline-documenting-girls-day-out.html">Storyline layout</a> I created from brunch that day).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's the TN spread I made...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNZ-dKBxHUGa6LpHjC0n8w_OuV3XNjwSyNSw6vBSI4HZBXxvmYAiAGYjbk3b5R9uxCC4ncjjTrbI5trU8F1LA0VvJISuRHAyVkrLKk2xsBQoOWRShhzgctDDl-hIGIMD8hko4Qc9-2w2M/s1600/DSC06143.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Using a traveler's notebook to document a "Broadway in Chicago" show" border="0" data-original-height="606" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNZ-dKBxHUGa6LpHjC0n8w_OuV3XNjwSyNSw6vBSI4HZBXxvmYAiAGYjbk3b5R9uxCC4ncjjTrbI5trU8F1LA0VvJISuRHAyVkrLKk2xsBQoOWRShhzgctDDl-hIGIMD8hko4Qc9-2w2M/s1600/DSC06143.jpg" title="Documenting a day at the theatre...by Maggie Massey - MGDIY" /></a></div>
<br />
First, I covered the left-hand side with a full-size photo.<br />
<br />
This is really my favorite way to create in a notebook. It takes the guesswork out of one whole entire side of your spread (yay!) and I love the look of the larger photos.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg16PxFzVCM8GCB6dq4sEpkQH1e_u_k2osSKPKpWJ6XbrjUo7DQ77yAfH68bduPLWMlS9-z6sWgLnzW7fASFUea6Pcn7rarP9hNHTVwL_pU57XtcxJD5lc2kYEEMNxpuDzIFpAY_s085Zo/s1600/DSC06144.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Using a traveler's notebook to document a "Broadway in Chicago" show" border="0" data-original-height="566" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg16PxFzVCM8GCB6dq4sEpkQH1e_u_k2osSKPKpWJ6XbrjUo7DQ77yAfH68bduPLWMlS9-z6sWgLnzW7fASFUea6Pcn7rarP9hNHTVwL_pU57XtcxJD5lc2kYEEMNxpuDzIFpAY_s085Zo/s1600/DSC06144.jpg" title="Documenting a day at the theatre...by Maggie Massey - MGDIY" /></a></div>
<br />
On the right-hand side, I added a tiny bit of typed journaling.<br />
<br />
To do this in my notebook, I simply cut a piece of white cardstock down to size, typed up my date, place, etc. and then adhered that cardstock into my notebook.<br />
<br />
I'm sure there are heavy duty typewriters that could probably handle the entire notebook, but my typewriter is not that typewriter.<br />
<br />

<br />
I added some stamping & a piece of washi tape and this spread was done!<br />
<br />
These pages came together really pretty quickly...and now there's proof that I really was there...(smile).<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for stopping by to take a look!<br />

There was a time when I was creating at least 4 scrapbook pages a week (I <i>think</i>...I mean, who knows how many it <i>really</i> was...but 4 sounds like a good number, so I'm going with 4).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Things have changed a bit over the past few years...documenting in notebooks and planners has all but taken over the papercrafting industry...but I still love a good old traditional scrapbook page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, my style has <i>definitely</i> changed since I first started scrapbooking. It's become a little more simple...a little less busy, with a LOT more white space...but, in general, the basic components have stayed the same - photo, date, journaling, embellishments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's my latest page...created with a Heidi's Swapp's Storyline background & some ephemera from the Honey & Spice collection.</div>

<br />
I kept this page simple by enlarging my photo to fit the entire width of the 8.5" x 11" background.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I chose a few embellishments to fill in some of the space at the top.</div>

I think one of the biggest truths in life is just how quickly time flies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's <i>absolutely terrifying.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Every time I look through my old scrapbooks, I find myself saying, "I just can't believe how much these kids have changed," or "How could that possibly have been (insert number here) years ago??? It feels like just yesterday!" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And those feelings are the exact reasons why I scrapbook.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I just can't imagine <i>not</i> having those moments...<i>not</i> being able to relive those memories. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's one of my greatest joys in life...along with that moment when all of the kids leave for school in the morning and I know I have a FULL DAY of solitude and quiet...sigh...so so good...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
...anyway...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In my effort to try to get people to write stuff down, and to take & print more photos, I've decided that, every weekend, from now until I get super bored with it, or until I completely forget (both of which are entirely possible), I'm going to post an older layout (or two) of mine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm hoping to inspire you to start documenting...to start creating your own ways to relive your memories. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Quite frankly, I'm hoping to make you see just how valuable scrapbooking, in all its forms, and in any way you choose to do it, can be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's this weekend's...</div>

I LOVE Grayson's face in this photo...<br />
<br />
Sibling love, right?<br />
<br />
smh...<br />
<br />
Heidi Swapp said something years ago that I will never forget. And I'm super-paraphrasing here...but she said, "When you look at a single photo, it sparks so many memories...you can suddenly remember not only the event, but maybe the food, or maybe the weather, or a million other things you thought you had forgotten."<br />
<br />
And that's so true.<br />
<br />
Just by looking at this photo, I remember so much about this day.<br />
<br />
And I guess that's what all this documenting stuff is about, right?<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for stopping by today!<br />
<br />
I hope you have a wonderful weekend...<br />

Do you decorate your house for Valentine's Day?</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I really don't. Not usually, anyway.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But this year I decided to put out a few things to brighten up the place after the put-all-the-Christmas-stuff-away letdown. Isn't that just the <i>absolute worst</i>? I swear, January & February are just. so. <i>blah</i>.</div>

Anyway...moving on...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I added a few pink pillows and some faux roses to our living room...and I also decided to add one of the little wood DIY pieces I've received from Foundations Decor.</div>

<a href="https://foundationsdecor.com/discount/MAGGIEMASSEY">Foundations Decor</a> (in association with Fancy Pants Designs) has some really darling stuff - have you checked it all out yet?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In addition to the latest paper collections from Fancy Pants Designs, Foundations Decor carries unfinished wood decor that you can customize with paper, paint, embellishments, whatever your heart desires!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

For this project, I started with the pine & MDF <a href="https://foundationsdecor.com/collections/latest-release/products/pickup?ref=maggiemassey">Pickup Truck</a>.</div>

Each piece is separate from all of the other pieces so that you can truly customize each and every shape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I chose to use both paint and paper to decorate my <a href="https://foundationsdecor.com/collections/latest-release/products/pickup?ref=maggiemassey">Pickup</a>.</div>

When the paint was dry, I dry-brushed the white paint with black, and the black paint with white...just to add a little character and to take away some of the starkness of the paint.</div>

I grabbed the wheel hubs & flatbed gate pieces, and traced them onto a piece of the McIntosh paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cut out each piece and used a tape runner to adhere the pieces to the wheel hubs/gate pieces.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Next, I glued a little black heart from the Good Old Days Ephemera Pack to the back of the truck...and then I popped on a little puffy heart . </div>

And finally, when the glue was dry, I rested a few little faux flowers in the truck's flatbed.<br />

I love my little pickup truck!<br />
<br />
And changing her out during the year will be totally easy. New flowers (or a Christmas tree!) and a couple of new embellishments will take this little decor piece from season to season...<br />

<br />
Happy 2020!<br />
<br />
Here we are...the start of a new year...the start of a new <i>decade!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
So exciting!<br />
<br />
You've heard me brag on <a href="https://simplyearth.com/?rfsn=2430205.0d5244">Simply Earth</a> oils for months now, right?<br />
<br />
About how affordable and amazing the <a href="https://simplyearth.com/?rfsn=2430205.0d5244">Simply Earth Recipe Box</a> is, right?<br />
<br />
Well, apparently I'm not the only one who thinks so...because Simply Earth is selling out of its current Recipe Box almost every single month!<br />
<br />
So what does that mean for new subscribers?<br />
<br />
Because Simply Earth is so fantastic...and because they don't want their new subscribers to have to wait to receive their first box...they have started shipping Starter Boxes to new subscribers who miss receiving the current month's Recipe Box...isn't that awesome?<br />
<br />
I received one of the <a href="https://simplyearth.com/?rfsn=2430205.0d5244">January Starter Boxes</a> to review and let me tell you...the Starter Box is just as fantastic as the Simply Earth Recipe Boxes are!<br />
<br />
I'm sure you're dying to see what's included in this fantastic box, but...I have a confession.<br />
<br />
I was so stinking excited to open my box and start making my recipes that I didn't snap a photo of the box contents.<br />
<br />
I know, I know...UGH!<br />
<br />
But, don't worry! Here's a list of what you'll get in the <a href="https://simplyearth.com/?rfsn=2430205.0d5244">January Starter Box</a>:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>4 amazing 15ml oils</li>
<li>One 2 oz jar of Aloe Vera</li>
<li>2 lip balm tubes</li>
<li>1 spray bottle</li>
<li>labels for all of your oils & recipes</li>
<li>6 recipe cards</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Here are the oils that are included:<br />

Your box comes with everything you need (except vinegar & distilled water) to create a fresh-smelling, completely effective and chemical-free cleaner! So awesome! And it works perfectly!<br />
<br />
<br />
I really can't tell you just how happy I've been with <a href="https://simplyearth.com/?rfsn=2430205.0d5244">Simply Earth</a> since I started working with them. And I love that they have introduced this Starter Box for subscribers who've missed the monthly Recipe Box...it's like getting all of the amazing with none of the waiting!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">NOTE: If you subscribe while the monthly Recipe Box is still available, you will receive the regular month's Recipe Box - not the Starter Box</span></div>

<br />
And honestly, for just $39/month with FREE SHIPPING, how can you go wrong?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I know that the holiday season seems to come in like a Mack truck every year, but there's just something different about it this year.<br />
<br />
Maybe it's because the kids are getting older, or because <i>I'm</i> getting older, but I truly feel like we <i>just had</i> Christmas.<br />
<br />
Like, wasn't I taking the tree down just a few weeks ago?!<br />
<br />
Crazy.<br />
<br />
I've already gotten a lot of shopping done (thank you Cyber Monday!), but I still have a good amount left to do.<br />
<br />
Plus, this year I'm trying incorporate handmade gifts into my regular store-bought items...and the <a href="https://simplyearth.com/?rfsn=2430205.0d5244">Simply Earth December Recipe Box</a> is making that effort so much easier.<br />
<br />
This month's <a href="https://simplyearth.com/?rfsn=2430205.0d5244">recipe box</a> is all about gift-giving...wanna see just how perfect it is?<br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Because the monthly subscription box has been selling out so darn fast each month, Simply Earth has created the brand new Starter Box. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This fantastic box also comes 4 Essential Oils, 6 recipe cards and (almost) everything you need to create each of those recipe! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You will receive this Starter Box <i>if</i> the regular monthly box is already sold out when you subscribe. This is just perfect, because then you don't have to wait to start receiving your amazing oils! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">*NOTE: If the monthly subscription box is still available, you will receive it as your first box*</span></div>
<br />
Start your subscription now and you'll be all set to receive January's box, too!<br />
<br />
Here's just a little sneak at January...Winter Wellness! You'll receive Relief Blend, Clary Sage, Ho Wood, and Lemon oils, as well as various containers & avocado oil to help you create the 6 recipes that will come in your box.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
I could go on & on about how much I love these oils...and how much I love Simply Earth as a company - did you know they donate 13% of all of their profits to help end human trafficking? Read all about their cause <a href="https://simplyearth.com/pages/our-cause">HERE</a>. </div>

<br />
You know what that means...<br />
<br />
...the kids are back in school...<br />
<br />
...I'm finally able to tackle some of the projects that DESPERATELY need doing...<br />
<br />
...FOOTBALL!...<br />
<br />
...shorter days, cooler weather...<br />
<br />
...and fall is on its way!<br />
<br />
And while I love the ease and go-with-the-flow feeling summer brings, I do appreciate the routine that comes with this time of year.<br />
<br />
The start of fall also brings with it the urge for me to start preparing for the holidays...<br />
<br />
...which is AWESOME, because the <a href="https://simplyearth.com/?rfsn=2430205.0d5244">Simply Earth September Recipe Box</a> has some of the most wonderful recipes, perfect for gift-giving.<br />

<br />
Happy August!<br />
<br />
2 weeks until the older kids start school...2 WEEKS!<br />
<br />
I know I sound like a broken record, but come on...really? 2 weeks?<br />
<br />
Ugh.<br />
<br />
I find that, as the kids get older, spending time with them becomes more and more fun for me - and less and less work...and the days just go by way too fast. My daughter will be a junior in high school this year, and my older son will be a freshman, and I just can't seem to wrap my head around that quite yet.<br />
<br />
But alas, I digress. I'll have to wallow in my own self-pity later.<br />
<br />
Right now I'm focused on all of the amazing that you'll find in the <a href="https://simplyearth.com/?rfsn=2430205.0d5244">Simply Earth August Recipe Box</a>! Woo hoo!<br />
<br />
This month is all about your skin.<br />
<br />
And let me tell you...if there's one area in my life that needs a TON of work, it's my skin.<br />
I've dealt with acne and scarring since I was a teen, but after I had kids, my skin really went crazy.<br />
I've got wrinkles & pimples & uneven patches & sun damage.<br />
<br />
Basically, I'm a mess.<br />
<br />
But I've found that products with a ton of chemicals and promises just don't do the trick for me.<br />
<br />
That's why I'm so excited about this month's box.<br />
<br />
Wanna see what's inside?<br />

<br />
And honestly, for just $39/month with FREE SHIPPING, how can you go wrong?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">$39 per month!</span><br />

<div>

<br />
Long time, no see!<br />
<br />
We've been doing a ton of traveling for my sons' baseball teams since school ended, but we've made it to the ends of their seasons and now we're home...until, of course, an impromptu trip or two comes up...(those are my favorite kind of trips...).<br />
<br />
Walking through Walmart yesterday, I was slapped in the face (almost literally considering the mass amount of school supplies they've shoved in between every single aisle...sigh) with the realization that the kids are heading back to school before I know it, and I wondered to myself how this is even possible. I mean, ALREADY?!<br />
<br />
It's just about time to stock up on new notebooks & folders and to get back into an earlier-to-bed routine...two things I actually really love about the start of school.<br />
<br />
And the <a href="https://simplyearth.com/?rfsn=2430205.0d5244">Simply Earth July Recipe Box</a> is doing its part to help make the transition from crazy-summer-stuff to calmer-school-stuff easier...<br />
<br />
Wanna see what's inside this month's box?<br />
