Gratitude in Quarantine

I am amazed at how much we take for granted in our lives. Now that we have all chosen to stay home for the greater good I’m making a list of all the things I didn’t give thanks for but was doing on a daily basis.

A Simple Christmas Tree Setup – DIY December

I love Christmas Trees! Always have and always will. There is something about the season, the trees and the Hallmark movies that gets me every every time. I'm a Muslim but we have always had Christmas in our house growing up. I know all the carols. I love the feeling of the holidays and family coming home.

Simple and Easy December Daily Spreads – DIY December

I have started journaling a lot these past two-three years. I guess I started again because I was kind of going through a lot emotionally and the journal pages gave me a place to escape. I've also always loved playing with stickers. Ever since I was a little girl.

A Mini Journal – DIY December

I love using old plastic boxes and paper scraps to make journals like these. These are perfect for using as mini scrapbooks or vacation diaries and make great gifts too!

In this blogpost I will share a video tutorial of this project as well as some images of a couple of books I made and a few 'finished' scrapbook pages.
