monthly merriment


Since Domino is coming to an end (RIP) I was checking out another one of my fave pubs from Australia. I was inspired by one of Real Living's articles here. So I gave it my own spin and photographed random stuff that was on my desk and dresser. Thought it would be fun to do this every month.

-Bird earrings from my little brother.
-Polaroid of Collin & Avery at the beach last summer.
-Fabric from a soon-to-be-posted project I'm working on.
-Love digging through bags of old photos from my mom that need to be preserved into better photo albums. I am so grateful that she loved taking photos as much as I do.
-Missing my daddy more than I have words for.

-One of my fave songs on my ipod that I love doing yoga to & singing with at the top of my lungs in my car. (Dancing by Elisa)
-The card "For Like Ever" I found here and am going to use them for Valentine's Day this year but were initially bought for a project I worked on last year where I found something that inspired me for a scrapbook page. I made this scrapbook page with a photo from when Collin & I were engaged. Man, we were so young! Collin always teases me when I have such cheesy journaling.
Page found in CK's Get Creative with Type book- a must have!
Supplies:
Apparently, as evidence from the photo, other must haves include: fuzzy ear warmers, Great Lash mascara, my notebook that I carry everywhere, yellow cardigan (Forever 21) & of course, sugar cookies.

Love this idea. I am so kicking myself for not doing the 365 photo project. This may be a nice substitute for this year (and I've only missed January). Thanks for the inspiration as always. You're the greatest!

Thanks for the nice comment, Liz.

Have I ever told you that I love your play lists and your music picks. :)

Martha said...

Fabulous idea...you have great natural lighting in your photos!

I love the "MY FOR EVER" layout!, the picture of you and Collin is beautiful too! Wonderful inspiration!
Thanks again.

Cass & Co said...

Love this idea!!! And love that sweet pictire of you and Collin. Do you two age at all??
I have noticed there is a bit of a theme on your blog at the moment.... Australian singer Lenka and fab Australian magazine Real Living (my Fave). OK maybe not a theme, but a bit of Aussie Love.

Oh, love the song. I remember seeing it so you think you can dance when I was in LA a couple of years ago. Will have to download more of her's now! Love Lenka too, will have to download some other's from your playlist, I obviously like your music :o)

I love the sweater...very fun colors!

Melissa said...

Liz!! I need your help! I'm trying to add blinkies or badges to the side of my blog. I see you have Studio Calico on yours and a few others. I use blogspot too, but I can't figure out how to put these on! Can you help me please?

Allison said...

So many delicious colors! And now I want sugar cookies...

Shawna said...

This is a great idea! I did something like this year before last with all of my Christmas ornaments.

As I took them off of the tree, I lay them in groups and took a pic of them so that I could journal where I got each one and why it is special to me, while only having a few pics. That way, if something happened to them or later on when I am gone, my boys and their families will know why I had each one and what it meant to me.

I love that blue headband! Did someone (or you) make it or did you buy it??
