After we had decided to accept the job in For Worth, I immediately started looking up things to do in the area. Legoland Discovery Center was on almost every list. While Zoe isn't Lego crazy, it is one toy she has continued to play with throughout the years. We knew she would enjoy it.

Things are finally settling around here and I've gotten back into some digital design. In Texas, we had a sneak peek of autumn over the weekend and I was in heaven. I got to wear long sleeves and snuggle up with a blanket. I almost broke out my hot chocolate, but decided to save that for another day.

I've been itching for pumpkin flavored everything, flannel and boots everyday. Since I've got a few more weeks since I can really enjoy Fall, I made some PL cards to share! Please share anything you make with them, I would love to feature your creations here!

With smartphone cameras being comparable to a point and shoot camera quality, we carry a camera with us the majority of the time. But even then, not all stories we want to tell, get captured on camera. Over the years I've found three good ways to scrapbook without photos.

1. Fill the page with text.

Whether it's handwriting, typewriter or a newspaper article, words are the foundation of stories. Don't be shy, add lots of details and adjectives to document on your pages.

I wanted to document all my childhood Christmas traditions, but because we spent most of those moments together participating, there was no photo to go along with it. I used a calendar page, filled in some of the square with patterned paper and then made small blurbs randomly, about each tradition.


2. Use supplies to tell your story.

Use patterned paper, stickers, stamps, colors, even typography to help recreate the occasion. Just looking at the page and you can already catch a glimpse of what story you are telling

I used a map on a patterned paper to document all the places I've been and what brought me to each place. I used twine and printed labels to easily identify each place with a quick look. 

Do you ever scrapbook without photos? I would love to hear your experiences.

Earlier this year, I chose adventure for my one little word. Without really thinking about it, I feel like adventure has seeped into my life and I am finding it easier and easier to say yes to unexpected opportunities, be it traveling, creating etc.

We've had some really big travelling adventures this year, mainly with our move. But even now that we are in Texas, we spend weekends exploring new places, trying new foods and even getting lost. This new wave of spontaneous decision making is actually a lot of fun.


I have a few other adventures I'm hoping on at least starting on by the end of the year. I have made a travel Pinterest board, if you want to take a peek into some of my plans. I feel like so far, Adventure has definitely made a huge difference this year.

XOXO,
