comment here with a link to your weather-related page by midnight edt 7/12/09 for a chance to win a pass to a July class at Get It Scrapped!
Today's lesson for "Scrapbooking Everyday Life" is full of prompts and suggestions for scrapbooking your everyday life at home--including routines. What routines do you have that are driven by seasonal/weather changes? Have you scrapbooked any of them? Here are two that I've done - one hot and one cold.
And . . . the hot one is not from this (chilly & wet) New England summer, but from one a couple of years ago. The photo isn't especially artful or eye-catching, but it's FULL of context. I wrote the notes for the journaling back when I took this photo--which is a good thing, because I wouldn't remember some of these details now. We only have air conditioning in the master bedroom, and when it gets REALLY hot for a few days, the boys end up camping on our floor. This layout is a shot of the bed they make out of sleeping bags and blankets AND all the paraphernalia that ends up in here. (See supplies & journaling for "Evidence of a Heat Wave.")
My cold page is from this past VERY SNOWY winter. We live on a cul-de-sac, and the circle where we wait for the bus gets plowed high when there's lots of snow. One morning, the kids starting rolling snow boulders out into the road to block the school bus . . . which plowed right on through to their happy yells. That they could never actually stop the bus didn't deter the gang from building these walls almost every morning --and while it was never a problem for the bus, it was sometimes a problem for the parents' cars. See supplies and journaling for "Stop the Bus."
Show me your routines around different seasons -- comment here and include a link to a layout by midnight edt Sunday 7/12 and I will draw a name to win a pass to a July class at Get It Scrapped!
All of these classes are awesome -- Cards & Still More Mad Digi start next week. Masterful Art Journaling & Scrapbooking Everyday Life still run for two more weeks & the materials are resources you'll refer back to. Click on class thumbnail for more info . . . AND SHOW ME YOUR PAGES! Someone's got to win!

Great idea! This year the HOT days came early as we had several 100+ degree days in June. I captures our heat routines in this layout: swim meets, sitting at softball games with umbrellas, water fights, watering the grass, etc
