my 2016 heidi swapp memory planner: june

August 3, 2016

I really love how my June pages in my memory planner came out! As you know, I’m a bit behind in my memory planner because of the 6 week trip to Europe I did in June, but I managed to get the entire month of June done last week and it came out great! I used The Planner Society August 2015 kit with some bits from Crate Paper’s Poolside collection, which I found matched the kit perfectly. The Planner Society kits were relatively new when I got this August kit and I’ve found that the first few kits don’t have nearly as much product as the newer kits have. I really had to stretch this kit–which only came with 3 papers, compared to the newer ones that now come with 6–which is why I used pieces from the Poolside collection. I’m so glad I had the die cut ephemera pack and the stickers from Poolside. It really helped in filling out my spreads because August kit came with very little die cut embellishments!

Since I left for my trip on May 31st, I basically documented my month in Italy for June, cause that’s how I spent my June. I printed out all of my Instagram photos and used those for the month, which was nice because I only used the Instax photos I took while on my trip in my travel journal, so to have scrapped pages with these photos was really nice. So for this first week, I began the week with May 30th only because I wanted to fill the entire week properly. I also stopped May’s pages on the 29th, so I felt like I should continue the remaining days of that month in June. It just made sense to me to have the entire week in one place, even if it spanned two months.

I had so many photos this month! Especially for week two when I took too many photos in Venice. I wanted to use them all so I took one of the 4×6 pocket pages that came with the Heidi Swapp memory planner and used it in the middle of my spread to add those extra photos. I don’t normally like using the pocket pages because it reminds me too much of Project Life and that’s the system I left because we just weren’t getting along anymore. But I used the pocket page with six 2×2 pockets here, which fit my photos perfectly as I print them out 2×2 anyway. All I did was washi the old holes and punched new ones. I even went as far as embellishing the pockets a little, so that my photos wouldn’t seem so plain. The pocket page worked really well for this week; I really liked how it turned out.

I was so surprised how quickly the pages for this month came together. I thought I would really struggle with filling the pages because so little came in the August kit in terms of embellishments. I had a lot of the stickers because I purchased the Sticker Society kit as well that month, but most of the stickers were functionally stickers as oppose to decorative, so it was really difficult using them. The embellishments were also a bit on the functional and planning side, so there wasn’t a whole lot to choose from when decorating my spreads. Which is why the Poolside collection really came in handy to fill in those spots. What I also think helped was the fact that I had a lot of photos to fill in the pages. I did the entire month of June in one sit down and it probably took me about two hours.

Since June ended on a Thursday, I covered up the last page with Friday – Sunday on it with the scrap pieces of paper I had left over from the kit. I did manage to have a few strips left over, so I collaged them onto the page and used the page to add the rest of my photos from Rome. I really love how this came out; it really filled in the month. And again, I didn’t do my June gratitude because I like writing them at the end of each month to reflect on what I’m grateful for in that moment. So once that window passes I can’t really remember what I was grateful for in that moment and I don’t want to fabricate it just to fill in a page. So I left it blank and I’m fine with that.

I shared the quick process of creating this spread in my @daphnes.diary scrapbook on my Youtube channel the other day. I'm quite behind in sharing all of these pages (and to be honest quite behind in actually documenting my last few weeks) but it is what it is. I'm not stressing it...just like how I'm not stressing that I'm MONTHS behind in my 5-year journal lol. Glad I've been daily journaling in my planner! xx

My new (small) TBR book stack for this year. I have it to hopefully read 20 books this year, but I decided to only pull out about 10 to see if I can get through that first. Y'all, I'm terrible at reading these days. I think I just need to do better at making time for it, so I started reading before bed. We'll see how it goes. Friend me on Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/aerialovely! I love seeing everyone's challenges! xx

I absolutely adore this passage about Spring from Jeanette Winterson.

Happy Astrological New Year! xx

Baby boy is 15 years old today! He's no little boy anymore, but a fine old senior dog (actually I think technically he's geriatric). He's definitely slowed down quite a bit with his thyroid problem and just general old age. C19 has definitely been really hard on him. He was struggling with his hyperactive thyroid all through 2020 and no one could figure out why he was so sad and blah until mid-2021 when he got properly diagnosed. But since being on his meds, he's got that puppy spirit again! He does have some separation anxiety now and literally needs to be with people constantly. But that's a given especially since there's always someone home now for him to be with. But it's getting better though! The absolute highlight of his week though is going over to our neighbor's apartment every Tuesday as I tutor one of the girls in math. He gets SO happy then because he gets to play lol. HBD Joey! xx

Driftwood—documenting the signs and synchronicities I see in my life. I'm paying attention to these little coincidences of life. At the beginning of the year, I took @gabbybernstein's manifestation challenge and she had us choose something to be our sign so that whenever we see it, it's a sign from the Universe that what we want is actually on the way. I chose "seeing hearts" because it felt right and aligned with my guiding word for the year, Heart. Gabby asked us to keep a list of all the driftwood we collect, and my god have I been seeing hearts. And while what I desire might not happen right away, I feel like this is the Universe’s way of telling me to trust—to let go and trust.

Into the unraveling journal it all goes. Happy Friday loves. xx

Oh hey, shamelessly sharing this for #thursday3 because tbh I need a different type of photo to break up the feed...

✩ I've been feeling really lost and stagnant in life lately—actually for the last couple of months. Just going through the motions and the sheer monotony of life. I'm not used to doing the same sorts of things day in and day out (probably why I never had a 9 to 5 before). It's kind of boring and that makes me sad. To be fair, I am really blessed and I love my job, but it's a job and not my life, and while I thought getting my ideal job would make me happy, it hasn't. So I've been trying to figure out why that is and what's missing. (Also still going through old shit, but we won't talk about that again.)

✩ I've been playing around with a test WordPress installation on my server and building a little social network-like community on there. It looks super neat, but I honestly don't know if I'll do anything with it. I'm not very good at community building lol. The number of times I've tried, it just never builds as I hope. But like, I'm just really not very good at it! I'm more of a participant than a host. But this site is looking super cool!! It's basically Facebook but not. It's better and I haven't a clue if I should open it up to people to join. Would you actively participate in it?

✩ While I hate the motion of changing the clocks backward and forward, I'm loving the extra daylight! It's making me really happy to finish work around 6 pm and it still being light out. I can't wait for spring!

How are you loves? I hope everyone is well. Happy Thursday! xx
