Diane Keaton Loved This Unexpected Art Form
House Beautiful
I’m still mourning the death of an icon. In the many pieces I’ve read about her lately, this one delighted me most. She collaged, just like Meghan Barich, who uses collage for our Keepsake Collection - a service that turns your memory bins into albums & artwork. Diane Keaton turned to collage throughout her entire life. A lifetime craft companion.
Art as comfort; I love that.

To listen
In the summer, Our Family Album interviewed me. I loved our conversation. Unfortunately, there are serious issues with the audio, so I’ve hesitated sharing. You’ve been warned! But I stand by everything I said.

To do
Organizing December.
If you haven’t started prepping for the holidays, here is your invitation. Remember The Why for starting early. We start early so we, too, can enjoy ourselves.
Here is the blog post that goes into a bit more detail.
Here is the READ-ONLY Excel spreadsheet, so you must save it to your computer (or your Google Drive) to then make it your own.

To audit
Toiletries.
This month, I audit all my serums and potions, soaps and shampoos. Even floss. In a couple of weeks, I’ll take advantage of Black Friday deals to make a one-time purchase for the coming year’s skincare basics. By auditing prior to purchasing, I get real honest about what I use and what I don’t. By auditing, I don’t buy more if I don’t need to. (Pro-tip: Make sure you look in ALL the nooks & crannies. You may uncover a stash you’d forgotten about…)

To remember
Once a month, we declutter and organize our photos & videos from last month. We do not - I repeat, we do not - make a mountain out of a molehill. We tend to the monthly molehill so it doesn’t become a mountain!
