Seriouly, this has dragged on long enough!

Really?  Here we are, a week from Thanksgiving, and I'm finally going to share my last 10 pages of my "30 Days of Lists" album I made in September.  Procrastinate much?  Yep, that's me.  I'm pretty sure I could write a book, like, "The Procrastinator's Guide to the Universe" or something like that.  See?  Here I am, babbling, when I could be posting photos.  So here ya go:

Day 21 -- Another transparency, and I used my label machine to make the entries and glued the library card to the back to give it more depth.. 

Day 22 -- The cute little pink journal box was included with my kit, and the butterfly was from a K&Co. ephemera pack.

Day 23 -- LOVED the surfboard paper!  Made the list easy-peasy!  :)

Day 24 -- List made on cute Martha Stewart labels I found in the clearance bin @ Michaels.

Day 25 -- Simple journaling card from the internet, torn and inked edges. 

Day 26 -- The two labels @ the top of the page came with the kit (thanks, Monika!) and the birthday candles were an image I printed from Google and used for my journaling. 

Day 27 -- Journaling on Washi tape purchased on Etsy . . . asked the hubbs to help me with my list.  Let's just say I eliminated a few.  LOL!

Day 28 -- Loved the music paper, and so made little circles on the computer that said "Notes" to make my list on.

Day 29 -- List printed on a downloaded journaling card, placed in envelope and washi taped closed.  Title is on the envelope. 

Day 29 -- Inside of envelope, journaling card.

Day 30 -- List made on Avery labels; sticker from Pebbles, Inc., metal tab from Close to My Heart.

Ah!  How good it feels to finally have this posted!  I hope you've enjoyed my little mini-album.  It was fun to do.  The great thing about this, is you could really do one any time you wanted -- you wouldn't have to do an online class.  Just make up your own list of 30 things you want to remember, make a little journal, and start writing!   In fact, head over to the link, and you can see what they have planned for future lists!  I have to thank Kam, Justine and Amy for this fab idea, and of course Monika for selling the ca-yoot little list book, and helping inspire me along the way!!  **note -- I've been trying to post this for three days, and my internet is acting wonky,  I apologize for the additional delay!

Until next time,

30 Days of Lists -- Days 11 through 20

As promised, here are days 11-20 of my "30 Days of Lists" mini-album.  Without further ado:

Day 11 -- added a fun felt sticker from Michaels

Day 12 -- NEVER have I ever . . .

Day 13

Day 14, using a tiny glassine envelope as a pocket

Day 15 -- I used little tiny Post-it tabs (with added glue) for my list

Day 16 -- Another web freebie journal spot, and cute washi tape

Day 17 -- More washi tape, photos, and an Avery sticky name badge

Day 18 -- A Few of my Favorite Things

Day 19 -- A Post-it note for the title, a web freebie journal spot, and some fiber from my collection

Day 20 -- The base of this page is an old repurposed book page.  I used rub on letters directly onto that page for my title, and added a stained shipping tag for my list

Well, I hope you've enjoyed the middle part of my little mini.  I'll share the final 10 pages at the end of the week.  I will try to track down where I got the journal spots and link you up.  Check back!  

Until next time,

30 Days of Lists -- Days 1 through 10

OK!  Finally, I've photographed my little mini album and am ready to share.  If you remember, I participated in this little online workshop back in September, called "30 Days of Lists."  I chose to just view the list each day, rather than printing off the entire 30 days -- I felt that way it was a little more spontaneous on my part!  And, I'm happy to say, I managed to keep up with each day (big accomplishment for this procrastinator!) -- just didn't get them photographed until now!  So, rather than bombard you with 30 photographs in one post, I'm splitting this into three posts over the next week.  So if you'd like to see the whole book, be sure to check back!!

First, I have to share that my little mini book came from my friend, Monika Wright's Etsy shop (I think she still has a few available!) -- she used the same one for her 30 Days of Lists, and it's fun to see how we took the same book and made them our own.  Here's my front cover:

Now, the fun thing is, this first "page" is a paper sack folded in half, so you have a little pocket.  Monika originally had a little file tag in there, which I ended up using on another page; I put a little September 2011 calendar in my pocket, which is a free download from (can you guess?)  Monika!  (Just click on her name to go to the download.)

Now, to get into the "meat" the the album:  Keep in mind, I was good, and used items from my stash -- I had all the alphabets I used for titles, as well as all the embellishments.  Scary, I know.  

Page 1:

You'll notice that on just a few of my pages, I included little contact photo sheets to emphasize my lists.  

Day 2:

Day 3:

Day 4:

This day included a little glassine envelope that came with the kit, and I printed off another freebie tag that I used for my list, then placed in the envie.  Easy peasy!  (edited to add that this tag freebie, as well as the one used on day two, are available on Facebook.  Follow this link, like "Designs by Lili," then look under her freebies tag on the left for the download.)

Day 5:

Day 6:

This day's list was "Favorite Color Combos" and I had a tag to scrapbook on -- so, I put the title on the front, and my colors on the back.  (Colors are cut from an old CTMH catalog color palette.)

Day 7:

Day 8:

One of my favorite lists.  Was especially fun to search Google images for some of my childhood memories!

Day 9:

The little yellow paper with the tag was what originally came in the pocket at the front of the book.

Day 10:

This day is a little hard to get -- it's on a transparency, so all the color you're seeing behind is actually the next day.  I have to admit  I was stumped on how to make a list on a transparency, so had to email Monika for ideas!  Avery labels!!  Who knew? 

Well, there you have days 1 through 10 of my "30 Days of Lists" album.  You should be able to click on the photos for a more detailed look at the list, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask!  Comments are always appreciated -- and so is all the help I received from my bloggy friend, Monika.  Be sure to click over and visit her blog and send her some love!  Until next time,

30 Days of Lists

I'm participating in a new class this month, titled "30 Days of Lists."  Each day, they give you a new prompt for you to journal a list about.  Here is what the website says:

Not everyone can make a mini scrapbook every week or an art journal page every night.

30 Days of Lists is our encouragement and challenge to you that you CAN journal just something every day – even something as small as a list.

Every day through the month of September we will be posting a list prompt – anything from weekend goals to celebrity crushes. At the end of the 30 days you’ll have a collection of entries creating a small snapshot of your life right now.

Only 5-10 minutes per day are really needed. While you’re waiting for someone, or when you’re the passenger in the car. That’s all.  Just write.

I purchased an ADORABLE mini-album from my friend and fellow blogger, Monika.  I'm making it my own, and will be sharing a few pages, here and there, over the coming month as I compile my lists.  :)  So excited!

If YOU would like to play along, click on the button in the left sidebar, and that will take you to their registration page.  It's only $6 -- great way to practice your journaling!
