november / december 2014 layouts :: pocket memory keeping / project life

To whom it may concern: I have completed my 2014 memory book. You can send my certification of completion to the following address...

;) I'm so happy that my book is complete. It got scary there for a minute. I mentioned that Jesse said, "Oh, forget it. Just move on to 2015." Wut?!  I couldn't do that, but I was tempted...

These are my layouts for November:


This is where I included my 30 Days of Thankful project. See that project in more detail here.

(If you're keeping up, I didn't share the last week of October and first week of November, which include weeks 44 and 45, because that layout included a few pictures of friends from school).


This my recap for December:


I shared our December memories in way more detail in my December Daily. See that book here.

What I learned from cramming several months into a few weeks is that simple is the way to go. I also learned to not overthink things. That slows momentum. If it's not perfect, it's okay! Move on with your life, self. ;)

To note: some of my supplies and embellishments are old and likely retired and/or I don't remember where I got them from, but if I missed something, ask in the comments and I will do my best with figuring out the source. I respond to most comments and questions within the comments section.

I will be documenting for 2015 soon! See my memory keeping approach for 2015 here.
