Hello and Happy Friday, scrappers!
If you are anything like me, you are probably feeling the crunch that the last few weeks leading up to the holidays can bring. I am so caught up in planning and shopping that I sometime forget to take a step back and enjoy the moment. This year, I promised myself that I would simplify things. I tend to go overboard if I don’t plan well… leading to too much food, too many gifts for the kids, and just “too much everything.”
I’m a planner at heart, so one way to simplify (and keep things from getting out of control) is to make a list. I make lists for everything: cookies to bake, cards to send, gifts to buy, food to shop for, menus to prepare, and more. Without my lists, my holidays would go from simple and organized to hectic and stressful.
This year, I wanted to capture memories of some of the little details about our holiday season, in addition to the typical scrapbook layouts I create to document things like opening gifts, visiting Santa, etc. Thus, I decided to scrap some of my lists. I feel like the lists give a perfect freeze-frame of what our life is like at the moment.
Here’s a look at a page I created to capture these sorts of moments/memories…
And, for today’s challenge… I want you to do the same thing! Head on over to the challenge forum at The Digital Press to share a layout in which you scrap one of your lists. It can be any type of list: a shopping list, a menu, a to-do list, or whatever other kind of list will help you plan your holiday season. I can’t wait to see what you come up with! 😉
