30 Days Of Lists | Days 1-9

I’ve been participating in 30 Days Of Lists this September.  I also did it last September, but only on my blog.  This time I made a mini-book and I’ve been updating it with the daily lists.  I think it’s such a neat way to document my life at this point in time.  Of course, I *would* find lists the coolest thing ever.  What’s my blog called?  Ha ha!

And because I haven’t been updating my blog with these lists since September started, I thought I would do one big blog post with them all, up until today.

30 Days Of Lists | Day 1: I Am A Lister because…

  • It helps me stay organized
  • I enjoy seeing my tasks crossed off and my progress visually
  • It’s an easy way to journal + document my life
  • So I don’t forget stuff
  • I have a list for everything
  • Lists are great for inspiration & ideas
  • It helps me prioritize
  • I AM LISTGIRL!

For my album I used mostly the Heyday Collection from Studio Calico.  I keep it all in a melamine tray (from Target) on my craft table so I can just work on it immediately.  But everything is contained so I don’t feel like my craft table is a huge mess.  :)

Also, after the first day, I decided to print the list journaling out onto the Becky Higgins Project Life 3x4 grid journal cards.  That way the list stays the same size and I can just work on decorating my page.  It has worked out really well for me, giving my mini-book a cohesive look. Also, when applicable, I’ve taken photos with my Instax camera. The size of the Instax photo is perfect for my book.

  4. Very cute, maybe I need to do something like this. I saw it last year but it was at the end of the month. Then this year I thought I had too much with PL.

  5. Your lists remind me of some of the GOTR lessons!! There is always a theme and there is always a part where they have to share how the theme relates to their lives. We ask them to list their favorite healthy snacks, things they do to relax, people they talk to when they are upset, etc etc. :)
