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.
Project Life: 2015 title page.
Sunday, 25 October 2015
I've made so much progress with my 2015 Project Life pages these past weeks (hence my absence online). At this rate I will be caught up before the end of the year, which would be great because then I can order a photo book already in January. I'm really looking forward to seeing the pages in print. Since the first pages I made included photos from this summer I've been working my way backwards (and forwards) and I finished the title page only yesterday so I thought I'd start by sharing that. I intend to share some more pages later on, when I've filled in the gaps so I can share them in chronologial order.
Project Life is a memory keeping system created by Becky Higgins. You can learn more about it here.
Products used: Digital page protector by Valorie Wibbens, Hello 2015 stamp by Caylee Grey, 3x4 filler cards + sticker from the Everyday Edition, camera from the Dear Lizzy Polka Dot Party mini kit and "bracket" stamp from the Moments Like These Edition.
Life lately: September 2015.
Watching | I usually only mention the things I actually enjoyed watching, but this month I must include Mad Max: Fury Road which was one of the worst films I've ever seen. Really don't get the hype at all. Per felt so guilty afterwards for making me watch it. As for a really good film, I watched Little Boy which was one of the sweetest films I've seen in a very long time. It might just have made me cry, on more than one occasion. Finally, we went to see the hilarious Vacation at the cinema. On TV my guilty pleasure show Lyxfällan came back and has me gasping in horror at people's stupidity every week despite how predictable it has turned. Also, I've been watching Vem tror du att du är? and feeling jealous that I never found anything as exciting when researching my family tree. It seems like no matter who's on the show they're always related to royalty or other famous people, or at least manage to dig up some juicy crime story.
Listening to | My Disney playlist which I seem unable to grow tired of.
Consuming | Hotel breakfasts galore what with spending ten nights at six different hotels in September/early October + lots of delicious Croatian food, including Ćevapčići and various seafood... And plenty of icecream of course. Oh and my beloved satsumas are in season again! I even bought some straight from a farmer in Croatia.
Reading | Since I was on vacation I had time to finish two books - Little Bee by Chris Cleave and What Milo Saw by Virginia Macgregor. I enjoyed both but I don't think they will stick with me in the long run because I didn't really love any of the characters... Lately I've taken to visiting the library on a regular basis and it's worked wonders for my reading. So simple really... When I buy books I end up not really enjoying I force myself to get through them because it seems wasteful to buy new ones and let the unread ones pile up, and thus I lose interest in reading. With library books there's no such guilt; I can just return the books and pick some fresh ones.
Visiting | Just the parents from what I can remember but I might be missing someone because September was such a long and busy month.
Enjoying | Above all, the sunshine, blue skies and beauty of Croatia (+ Montenegro where we went on a day trip). This vacation was everything I dreamed of & more. Croatia will always hold a special place in my heart and I hope to go back there many times in the future.
Making | Digital Project Life pages for my 2015 photobook.
Looking forward to | Scrapbooking my memories from Croatia. But first I will share the photos on here; it's my rule that I can't scrapbook any photos that I haven't blogged.
