Month in Numbers October 13

Up here, the colours are bleaching, fading to soft greys and browns, and the sunlight is on a dimmer switch in one direction only. So I'm a little muted this month, for Julie's glorious Month in Numbers, in my Day2Day book ...

Wishing you all a lovely weekend - we have a houseful of visitors, no lighting on the top floor, and a spa experience with two wonderful young women to enjoy :). See you Monday?

Love the monochrome of this page, and as always your crisp graphic style! Also very much like the idea of the month in numbers - which might turn up in my journal one of these days .... thanks for the inspiration.
PS So sorry I don't come by more often.

I'm always tempted by these monthly reviews - may try them next year. Do like the statue pose copying :)

[Julie K]

That's a big discrepancy in sunshine levels - you must be clinging on dearly to those holiday memories by now!

I love the snapshots into your month there's a lot of 'life' happening in them. And how nice of the chef to have added that special birthday touch for your Dad. [I'm wondering what the etiquette is re: mopping-up your birthday message with a chunk of bread!]

Thanks so much for finding enough daylight to write and share this! I've saved you to the board now Alexa: http://pinterest.com/notesonpaper/my-month-in-numbers/

Happy November - have a wonderful spa experience!

I love how you've designed the page....and the muted tones are perfect for a dismal [weather wise] month....you definately weren't imagining that weather!!!

[Sian]

Enjoy your visitors!

I love the muted colours. I'd paint our entire house grey if I thought I could get away with it

Lovely page Alexa, gorgeous sepia colouring. It works brilliantly with white. Very chic. Have fun with your full house and spa treat :) Wouldn't mind one of those myself :) (feeling envious lol) Pxx

[Michele]

Love the muted colours of this page. I enjoyed reading about your month in numbers x

[Deb @ PaperTurtle]

So many fantastic little details on this page, Alexa. It's always a pleasure to see your artwork. Have a lovely weekend!

[helena]

Love the idea of posing like the statue. No wonder it has been feeling so grey with so much less sunshine, although november is shining well so far

[Sinead]

Alexa, this is gorgeous! I love the sepia photos against the clean white paper, and your journalling is so great. The postal touches are also wonderful. Thanks for sharing x

[Amy]

I am loving your blog presentation today Alexa, it looks so smooth and polished.

[Relyn]

I love capturing life from time to time in numbers. It's such a wonderful way of looking at things.

[Karen]

Your heading for this post is fabulous, and so is the layout. I love the B&W photos and the arrangement of them on the page. Your statistics on the rain and sunshine are perfect for this post! I always hope I'll keep track of such things, but forget as the month whirls by. Then I read others' lists and wish I'd been more conscientious.

[Jemma @ Just-Jimjams]

Wonderful peep into your month - this album will be a quite marvellous recap of the year in pictures, words and numbers.

[Julie Jeavons]

Muted, but still shining. Hope your weekend is everything you hoped. I'm sure you turned the lack of lights into fun.

[MelissaGross]

Beautiful page! We tend to take photos of us imitating statues, too! LOL

[Miriam]

This is my favourite page for MiN, love it, love it, love it!

[Becky]

Great capture of your month :-)

[Abi]

That is a beautiful way to display your photos. I love the filter on them and the white edges. I wanted to let you know that your quilt block is in my head however I haven't got a sewing machine so as soon as I get home I will sew it up and send it on. I hope that that is ok and won't hold your sewing up! x

[Susanne]

I was completely taken in by your opening description - you write in such a lovely way Alexa. And the page maybe be muted in color, but it is vibrant in real life moments. Thanks for sharing.

[Louise]

you have captured your numbers wonderfully. Your page is gorgeous with the B&W photos x

[sandie]

That is a lovely page, Alexa. The photos are just beautiful, I love the one of your Dad (I assume it's your Dad)and how lovely to have Happy Birthday written around the plate. Some interesting numbers there, I hope you enjoyed your weekend and spa.

[Relyn]

Buy comfortable shoes was a perfect addition to my secrets of adulthood list. I wish I could wear all the snazzy new styles. Can't - I stand all day long. Must go for comfort.

[Nathalie]

Love the muted approach to this project and you got some big numbers in there! (except for the amount of sunshine :(

[Prairie Jill]

I love reading these "numbers" posts! I also love the muted colours - very pretty and, as you said, very suited to the season!

[Yvonne Yam]
