... just before we slide into February. Hello and welcome! Yes, you are quite right, it's been a while ... But after a conversation in December with the lovely and inspiring Honoré over at Morning Glory Studio, something shifted and stirred; and here I am, now into the fifth week of renewed and enthusiastic memory keeping. This is week 03; with the kind permission of Shannan over at Shannan Pages, I've adapted her super planner template for my 10" x 8" photobook, covering the next few months, and used some nicely simple and elegant digital cards from the Wilson Wilson Design Studio. (Click for a clearer view).
I'm hoping to keep pace with Ali Edward's One Little Word class this year; the continued demands of work, and the delightful commitment to supporting my (now adult) children with their families and little ones absorbs the rest of my time, so I am unlikely to suddenly take up a brand new creative activity to share with you - given also the number of unfinished classes lurking across the Internet with my name on them! (Am I alone in this?). But you never know :). Thank-you for popping in and sending you all warm good wishes, Alexa.
Your pages are so beautifully designed and executed. I love magnifying them and enjoying every little detail. The writing never disappoints either! So lovely to see you here. (Thanks for your kind words, as well.)

Lovely to see the return to your blog. You pages are as beautiful as ever and a delight to read. The snow, though I know it brings problems, does make the countryside around you look stunning. Great to find someone else who delights in the minimalist baker's blog. I'm signed up to their newsletter and see all these very tempting recipes pop into my inbox each week. Hope you find the time to post more pages this year. P xx

What a treat to find this post today. I love Shannan’s templates and I have this digital approach on my list for the month. I am try8mg to work smaller this year in hope of keeping things from spreading out too much. What is your OLW?

I love your planner design. I think I might just have to copy it!!

Your pages look wonderful. I hope the demands of work lighten up for you. I had for some unknown reason assumed you were retired . . . perhaps the gentle way you write lead me to believe that.

I love this Alexa, and am glad you are still scrapbooking and have popped back in to share with us. I love the soft colour palette, and your words are perfect. I may need to take some inspiration for my journaling.

I am late in catching up, my apologies! What a perfect colour choice to complement a week in January!
