my 2016 heidi swapp memory planner: february

March 5, 2016

IMG_8108

One thing I wanted to dedicate myself to this year was a new way to document my everyday for a whole year. I always did Project Life, but last year it sort of fell short and I wasn’t inspired anymore with the system. It wasn’t doing anything for me anymore. So this year, I decided to try out Heidi Swapp’s Memory Planner. I punched my Memory Planner into my Marion Smith planner and have been having so much fun decorating and documenting one little thing each day in my planner. My intention is to post about my memory planner after each month, just to share my pages and give you a flip through of how it all came out.

When I first started and shared my January pages with you, I didn’t have a clue how I was going to use the dashboard and blank lined pages that were at the start and end of each month. But from playing around, I decided to decorate the dashboard pages with quotes, goals and important dates for each month. I use alphas to designate the month in the circle and one of Heidi Swapp’s foiled cards in the list box below the circle. I love the inspiring quotes on her cards and use one for each month based on how I’m feeling and what I want to remember to be inspired by throughout the month. The box below that I just list a few goals I have for the month. The column to the left, I have random inspiring quotes jotted down for the month, and in the pink box below I list all the important dates for that month that I need to remember. For the last page of the month–the lined page–I’ve decided to use it to jot down what I’m grateful for at the end of each month. It’s just a great way for me to reflect on my blessings and all the good things and people I have in my life. Each month is different, so I want to have these reflections to look back on at the end of the year.

These are my first week pages in February. I finally dug into my Planner Society kit stash and used papers and bits from April’s kit. I went a bit artsy in terms of my decorating. I had a lot of fun cutting out all the images in the cut apart sheet of paper from the kit, and used my butterfly punch to punch out some butterflies to decorate with. This is probably my favorite page this month. The only reason I went so decorative was because I didn’t have any photos for the week, so being about to use the papers in this way made the spread look interesting and pretty.

Week two’s spread. I continued to use my Planner Society kits for this spread. I dug into January’s kit, which I was so proud to do because I’ve been seriously hoarding all of my kits and they have begun to pile up. So I have a lot of material to use and felt like I needed to dig into my unused stash more. I had photos for this week, so I decorated to compliment them. I love using these kits though because everything is so cohesive in terms of color and theme that it makes it really easy for me to decorate my spread.

Week three’s spread was interesting. I used October’s kit, which I’ll admit wasn’t my favorite in terms of color. But I played around with it anyway, getting to use some of the papers, sticky notes and stickers. I do really enjoy how the spread came out, even if it isn’t “me” in terms of color scheme. But this has been a very fun experiment and it’s been helping develop my own style, especially with decorating this particular styled planner.

For week four’s spread I used the February Planner Society Kit, which was very blue. Not much happened this week, but I did have a couple of photos to add to my spreads. And since it’s a Leap Year, I documented Monday on the following page and I just have it alone, leaving the other pages blank. In hindsight, I should have just ended February on the 28th and included the 29th on March’s first week spread, but I didn’t and it’s fine.

Below is a flip through video of my memory planner and how I currently have it set up. I show you my spread for January and February and give you a little insight on my process. I hope you enjoy it!

I made a new snippet journal. This one is 6x6 and I'm going to use it as an art journal. I really really want to get back into art journaling. Like, it has been calling me for most of this year and I just haven't gotten back into the flow of it. I've been enjoying my time (writing) journaling, but there's this nagging feeling deep inside of me that wants to get messy but for some reason refuses to begin. So I think I'm just going to make myself begin. Just start and see what happens. I'm gonna make a lot of shitty art but if that's the means to begin then so be it

 Let's go make some shitty art. 

I hope I can begin this weekend. Process video of me creating this journal is up on my Youtube channel, if you're interested.

Happy Friday lovelies! xx

Still working through @lizelayne’s Water Your Soul course in my WYS journal. This little binder is getting so chunky! I still have lots to work through and am just merrily bouncing back and forth between lessons, anchoring myself in whatever practice my heart needs right now.

Today’s Flip-Through Friday is my Summer Stories 2023 journal.

This is sort of a hodge-podge journal of all sorts of bits—memories, junk, photos, art journal spreads, and lots of journaling. I've kept it all summer and it's now filled and completed and ready to share.

Here's just a quick flip-through. I've got a full chatty flip up on my Youtube channel if that's more your speed.

Happy Friday loves! xx

I finally finished filling up my 2023 Summer Stories journal. I had originally intended to only keep this one from June to July, but I didn't journal as much as I thought I would in here this summer, so it has lasted me through to the first few days of September. I'm not mad about it. I prefer a filled journal to a half-filled one. I personally hate leaving too many pages blank at the end. I'm hoping to have a flip-through up on my Youtube channel tomorrow. Just have to film it! 😆

Just wanted to share a little look at my Water Your Soul journal that I've been keeping this year for @lizelayne's class. I'm finding that I tend to dip into the course whenever I have the time and it's never consistent. But I am so surprised at how much I've actually managed to fill in this journal!

It is mostly a mixture of the class printables and my answers to the questions, magazine clippings, quotes, and lots and LOTS of journaling, but it's been a lovely place to return to over and over again.

I was able to explore more of the lessons this past weekend when I had some time thanks to the holiday. But I think that the joy of this particular journal—and course really—is that I can return to any part of it at any time and pick up where I left off. I can work out of order and move stuff around—love the binder for this! I get it, Liz! I love how this journal is growing as I move and grow through all of the And Spaces we've been exploring—and even some other And Spaces that showed up for me too!

I can't wait to see how this journal ends up looking by the end of the year. xx

I had one of those days today where I was so exhausted from the week but at the same time wanted to go out and do something. Ever feel that way while also knowing that you just need to rest?

I really wanted to sit in Central Park and catch up on all of my journals but I just couldn’t motivate myself to actually walk to the park. So I took myself (and the dog) down to our building’s courtyard and set up shop on the tiled patio. While there was no grass, it was very quiet out there and I was able to catch up on some journaling and continue in my Water Your Soul binder from where I left off months ago.

Past me had printed all the lovely printables @lizelayne had for every lesson that I had yet to complete, so I spent some time getting all of them into my journal. This quote in particular stood out to me today. This is me. I've dealt with perfectionism all my life and for the last 10 years, I've slowly been coming into my own person separate from the need to "be perfect."

There is no such thing as perfection. The reality that we're all so beautifully imperfect is the real truth we should all strive for.

Anyway, I hope you've all had and are having a wonderful Sunday. xx
