Well, we have almost made it through May and now it’s time to bid farewell to the month and take a minute to recap our memories. This simple little routine has made a big difference in my memory keeping life. I hope you will give it a try. It’s super easy. I follow a simple set of prompts each month and now I have added a few COVID-19 related items as well.

I only went to the drive-in movies a few times as a kid, but I remember thinking it was so cool. Now, it just might be the way to keep the movie going business going! I’m lucky enough to have a very comfy reclining couch and a big screen in my basement, so that is definitely my favorite way to watch a movie these days, but I could see going to the drive-in as an activity that I would actually feel comfortable with right now. This article lists 32 of the best drive-in movie theaters in America. Do you have a drive-in theater near you? We only have one in the Salt Lake Valley and the last time I went (probably about 20 years ago) it was quite old and rundown. I hope they will consider upgrading it now that there might be more demand.

I finally got my April roundup done! I ended up putting together 2 pages so I could capture a lot of what happened during the month. Not only did we have a pandemic going on, but we had a few more 4.2 earthquakes and more than 1,000 aftershocks. What a crazy time!

We sure do need a fun holiday right now! I’m excited to spend the day scrapping and shopping for fun supplies. I’ll admit that I almost forgot about this holiday because of everything that has been going on in the world. I’m happy to have a weekend to think about how much I love scrapbooking and sharing my memories with those I love. Scrapbooking is my favorite creative outlet and has led to so many good things in my life like this blog, my design career, and lifelong friends. I hope you will celebrate your own creativity this weekend and take some time to shop for supplies and document your memories.

I’m going to share a few of my favorite resources, tutorials, and designs to get the party started.

Another month is coming to end and I want to remember the details of my life during April of 2020. It was a doozy of a month and will definitely be one I remember for a very long time. Doing roundups is a monthly ritual of mine since January of 2006. I just take a few minutes to close out the month by recording the everyday details. It’s been the most valuable tool in my memory keeping arsenal.

I follow a simple set of prompts each month and now I have added a few COVID-19 related items as well.

If you are on Facebook, you’ve probably seen someone post something like the entry I’m going to include here. People are realizing that they should document these unusual times and then when they are reminded about them on future anniversaries of this date, they will be able to feel grateful for where they are at. Sound at all like a roundup? I’ve been a fan of this idea since 2006! I’m happy to see the emphasis on recording these memories and even finding some gratitude for the challenges we are facing.

I shared my own COVID-19 free printable and pocket cards here last week and I’m happy that so many of you have already downloaded them. I am pleased to see several other designers and scrapbookers offering downloads and supplies to help us all document these crazy times. I thought I would share a few with you here so you can be sure to add them to your memory keeping toolbox.

I’m ready to share my March 2020 roundup page and show you how I used the new supplies I posted about this morning.

More than ever before, I’m grateful for my routine of rounding up the month. Although I have to admit that this one is going to be a doozy! I’m going to use the resources I posted about yesterday to help me recap the news.

I usually love the month of March because it’s my birthday and wedding anniversary month as well as the start of spring. This year March brought a lot of terrible news as well. Nothing like a worldwide pandemic to scare us all!
