Memory Keeping Update: 2024 Scrappy Spiral Notebook

Very helpful. Thank you!

I love you said -- there's no days of the week bossing me around. That's how the whole idea of memory keeping was kicking my ass. It felt obligatory.

I love the spiral notebooks but I struggle because I love layers and I miss adding pockets. It’s hard to stamp when there is a layer in the other side. I do love the box sizes because it’s more conductive when using my Canon Selphy! Love your spreads! ❤

@@brandiepoulin1771 I take the pages out when I know I’m going to stamp. Just a quick snip of the coil holes.

Thanks for sharing. Very inspirational. As much as I love this idea, anything dated (even if just the year on the cover) or bound is a recipe for failuire for me. That’s too much expectation of commitment and that’s the point where my perfectionist tendencies take over, paralyzing me. I’ve decided to try memory planning next year with undated disc-bound inserts. I need the flexibility of not having a coil to work around, the ability to miss days, back plan if necessary, and toss something /re-do if I end up hating it. My challenge will be to figure out what to do with the loose pages after the year’s done so I can keep and enjoy them long term. If I can’t do that, what’s the point in documenting the memories?

@@flygirl2447 I totally get it! I’ve auditioned a lot of different styles of memory planning over the years. Part of the process is figuring out what will work with your natural tendencies and what maybe will not. I’ve loved this style and what I’ve learned is that I REALLY like it for slightly bigger stories and not for weekly memory planning. Discs are great! I’ve returned to discs for memory planning the remainder of this year.
