Project Life: Croatia & Venice 2017.

Today I'm sharing the second installment of my July pages. You can find the first half here. The year isn't quite over yet but it's safe to say that July will be the month with the most pages in my 2017 photobook, mostly because I filled up 20 whole pages documenting our trip to Croatia and Venice. When I document a trip or event that will fill up several spreads I usually choose one scrapbooking kit and try to stick to that to make the pages cohesive. Last summer I used Summer Manifesto by Paislee Press to document our trip to Parga and this year I had my eyes set on the Joie de Vivre kit already before we left for Croatia. I ended up mixing it with Memory Keeper and threw in some Everyday Edition and a little bit of the aforementioned Summer Manifesto.

Life Lately: October 2017.

Watching | Aside from the usual (Sofias änglar etc), we watched season 2 of Top of the Lake (so exciting!) and started watching the new season of Så mycket bättre.

Listening to | As always I discovered a great new artist through this year's Så mycket bättre - Sabina Ddumba. I had heard her hits on the radio before but I never actively listened to her. Now I am hooked :)

Consuming | Apple pie and chocolate cupcakes among other things - I've started baking a bit more since we moved to the house because we're having more visitors over than we did in our cramped apartment.

Reading | I started reading The Pearl That Broke Its Shell and really enjoy it so far.

Visiting | My sister in her new apartment, my parents and Per's mother.

Enjoying | Getting the boring side of moving mostly over and done with and being able to focus more on the fun parts like decorating and slowly adding new things. Decorating for Halloween with some cute little pumpkins and a big one for our front entryway.

Making | I got fully caught up with my infertility album and made some pages for my 2017 album. I also updated my dollhouse a bit by adding some new things, among other things a new family.

Looking forward to | I'd be lying if I said I was looking forward to November since it's my least favourite month, but I am starting to look forward to December and the holidays!

Project Life: July 2017.

Last week I finally finished documenting the month of July! It was the busiest month of the year so far for us, which obviously means there were many things to document. Most notably, we were on vacation from work and travelled to Croatia and Venice and I also attended a big family reunion. I filled up 38 pages (don't worry, I won't be sharing them all in one post!). It is a lot, but since I don't limit the number of pages I create for each month it doesn't stress me out. I am still behind with August, September and October, but I have planned out 38 pages in total for those months, so now that July is in the books I should be able to catch up with the rest of the year quite quickly (I've actually already completed about a third of those pages). Today I will be sharing the pages I made documenting everything but our week in Croatia/Venice, and I will be back to share those pages later.
