memory planner full

I've reached the end of this planner. Before moving on to the next week's spread which will be in a new planner book, I'd like to share how I spruced up the last page of this one. Had this fulll size photo and it was too good to not include.

Hello Sunrise!

STB - october 21 2024

 Wrapping up October in my STB memory planner for 2024. 

A quick road trip to visit family. Thus lots of photos. Toned down with vellum. You know the trick.

BTW, that outhouse shot... no fear. Those are shotgun casings on the floor! Only in northern MI. And hey, how 'bout those Lions?!?

Note: If you've not checked out Presque Isle and its lighthouses you should. Get a sandwich at Ida Mae's Deli and enjoy it at the harbor. 

STB - october 14 2024

It's October in Michigan in my STB memory planner for 2024. 

And it's looking very autumnesque. On sleeves housing pull out strips of photos and journaling.

Happy to use up some stash on my memory planner this week - PP, stickers, alpha stickers for titles. All with an autumn feel. To match the rough lake, rain soaked driveway, cider and donuts.

And hey, how 'bout those Lions?!?

 

STB - october 7 2024

We've reached October 2024 in my STB memory planner! 

And MORE northern lights. OMG! On two different nights!

This was THE hardest spread to make. Actually, deciding on which of my thousand photos to use was the hardest part. The first evening I was on my own - went to the nearby point on the beach and sat there taking photos until I heard coyotes. I packed up my stuff and headed to the harbor to watch the show from the comfort of my car ;) Until 4:30 am.

Then two days later I headed to the harbor with my neighbor who'd never seen aurora before. The show did not disappoint. But even with winter jackets we got cold so headed home. She fell asleep but I had to go out to the beach for more of the show. It was so RED! And full sky. Straight up overhead. Dancing. All the things. And thank, goodness no coyotes.

Photo flips. Strips. Pockets. Belly bands. Vellum. I'm just going to put it here for your enjoyment.

Oh how beautiful a day can be. Hold it fast.

More photos - hidden.

More photos - tiny on strips.

And more. This time on a grid turned tag.

And a couple more ;)

The next morning's sunrise too. Tucked into a pocket hidden behind the belly band that holds the giant tag of photos!
