Today is the big day around here so it's time to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas :)
2015 Top 5.
Tusen år till julafton | 1864 | The Affair | Mad Men | Det är inte så dumt att bli gammal
This feels like the most random mix - one Swedish Advent calendar mini series, two American TV shows, one Danish mini series and a Swedish (mini) documentary series. But, as I looked through my life lately entries from 2015 these are the shows that stood out. Mad Men (which I will miss dearly) and The Affair were entertaining and Tusen år till julafton super cute while 1864 and Det är inte så dumt att bli gammal had the most lasting impact on me, on a deeper level.
Far from the Madding Crowd | Little Boy | Still Alice | Testament of Youth | The Theory of Everything
I feel like 2015 had more good quality films than previous years so it was quite difficult to pick a top 5 (I know some of these came out in 2014 but I didn't watch them until 2015 so I'm including them here). Honorable mentions would be Everest and The Imitation Game.
Little Bee | The Opposite of Loneliness | Sarah's Key | Shifting Colours | We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves
Out of the 12 books I read this year these were the ones I enjoyed the most. I don't necessarily think any of these would make it to my all-time favourites, but they were definitely worth reading and opened my eyes to certain issues I didn't know much about before. I wasn't very intentional about picking these books but realize now that it's easy to detect a common theme of injustice and prejudice in them, with the exception of The Opposite of Loneliness. Quite fitting for a year like 2015, as it turned out.
Project Life: September.
Sunday, 6 December 2015
I finished my September spreads not that long ago so I thought I'd share them, a bit late. There are only three spreads from the whole month, but that will change dramatically once I document our trip to Croatia.
Project Life: November.

Here are my PL spreads from November. Apparently I liked BW and stripes this month :) I still have quite a few spreads to complete from earlier this year, but despite that I've never been this caught up with my yearly scrapbooking before. I hope I will be able to have my photo book printed early in the new year.
Life lately: November 2015.

Watching | Spectre at the cinema, Inside Out and the Shaun the Sheep Movie at home. I am not a huge Bond fan, but I can't deny that the films are entertaining in many ways. Inside Out and Shaun the Sheep were both super cute.
Listening to | Music from Så mycket bättre, especially by Miriam Bryant and Lisa Nilsson.
Consuming | Homemade sweets from the Christmas market we went to at the castle last weekend + saffron buns, yum.
Reading | I finished Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay. Such a fascinating story about historic events I knew very little about beforehand.
Visiting | My parents as well as my youngest sister and her new baby kitty Alfons - the cutest little furball I ever did see.
Enjoying | Attending my friend's Disney-themed birthday party at the beginning of the month, trying out my new camera lens, getting the opportunity to do a short internship at the local police department and D.A.'s office, decorating and planning for Christmas and of course memory keeping.
Making | Project Life spreads.
Looking forward to | Finishing my Christmas shopping, making this year's gingerbread house and Christmas of course :)
Project Life: October.
Wednesday, 11 November 2015
I've decided that it makes the most sense that I start by sharing my most recent Project Life spreads here, so I thought I'd do that in this entry. October was a beautiful month with more sunshine than usual, which obviously translated to more photos than usual. I ended up devoting four entire spreads to my October photos, excluding the ones from Croatia which I have yet to scrapbook.
Life lately: October 2015.

Watching | Not as many new films as earlier this year (perhaps because this is the time of year when there's actually something to watch on TV for once?). I watched Spy and then Everest at the cinema, both of which I really enjoyed. As for TV, most notably, Så Mycket Bättre is back which is always exciting.
Listening to | Miriam Bryant because she's by far the best singer on Så Mycket Bättre and I'm predictable that way. Other than that my favourite Moa Lignell released a new album, and of course Adele's new single hasn't escaped me.
Consuming | Satsumas! I know it's the same answer as last month, but nothing else really stands out.
Reading | I finished What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty, which was sort of entertaining in unexpected ways. I have a policy of avoiding chick-lit but I stumbled across it at the library and couldn't find anything else, so I picked it up. I recently started reading Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay, which is more in line with what I usually read.
Visiting | October went by so fast that I hardly remember... But the parents, as always.
Enjoying | The many beautiful autumn days October blessed us with, Project Life, our Halloween party at work + being part of the Party Planning Committee and lots of fun busy days at work...
Making | Project Life spreads :)
Looking forward to | Trying out my recent purchase, the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art Lens that has been on my wishlist for a year + some news I'm expecting later this month that might be really exciting.
