30 Days of Lists - September 2019 - Lists 16-30

Happy Thursday! I cannot believe that it's already October. The 30 Days of Lists challenge ended last week. I had so much fun working in my little book. Using minimal supplies and keeping things simple really helped me complete the challenge.

As promised, below is the last set of my lists.

I can't wait for the next round of 30 Days of Lists.

30 Days of Lists - September 2019 - Lists 1-15

Happy Wednesday! It's been a while since I posted about 30 Days of Lists. This challenge started on September 1st, and as always, it's been so much fun working on my lists. As you may know, 30 Days of Lists happens three times a year. You are given a prompt for 30 days, and you can complete each prompt in any way you want. There is no right or wrong way to complete the challenge. You can make it as simple or complex as you like.

This time, I decided to use a mini daybook by Amy Tangerine. I also used some label stickers and icon stickers from The Happy Planner sticker books. This little project is so easy, and it only takes me about 5 minutes to complete each prompt. I even prepped my notebook by sticking the list of prompts on the inside cover of my daybook. Then I added the labels with the prompts. I added the icon stickers as bullet points. The only thing that I have to do is simply add my responses.

I've been sharing my lists on Instagram but decided to share them on the blog as well. Today I'm sharing lists 1-15.

Please note that this is a very photo-heavy post.

30 Days of Lists Registration!!

Hello! Happy Thursday! It's that time of year again! 30 Days of Lists begins on September 1st, but registration is now open! I absolutely love this challenge and am so very happy to announce that I am a sponsor for this round!

What is 30 Days of Lists?

30 Days of Lists is an awesome challenge where you receive a prompt everyday for 30 Days. There is no right or wrong way to complete the challenge. You can also complete it at your own pace.

How I plan to complete the challenge?

I'm not sure yet. In the past I have made my own mini albums and notebooks, but I have also used store bought notebooks. I think I may make my own album this time. I might change it up a bit and use watercolors or acrylics, but I have so many Project Life cards and patterned paper that I need to use up. There's just so many different ways that I can complete this challenge which is another reason why I love this challenge. Below is previous mini album that I made using my Cinch binding tool and some Project Life cards.

As you may know, I opened my Etsy shop a few weeks ago. I have included a couple of mini notebook kits that are perfect for 30 Days of Lists! Below is one of the notebook kits that I have listed in my shop. You can find more information on this kit here and you can check out the rest of my products here.

Are you excited for 30 Days of Lists? How do you plan to complete the lists?

Until next time!!!
