in the midst of stormy seas and uncertainties and the topsy turvy …

  • we are drawn to things that can steady us, the things – no matter how small – that we can count on
  • we embrace the blessing of each new day
  • putting on brave faces and standing tall and guiding our paths
  • we hold on to whatever we can look forward to, whatever warms our hearts, whatever routines and everyday little joys
  • I am reminded, as ever, of the importance of making memories and documenting personal histories and celebrating all the little routines and rituals of our lives

And one of those “rituals” we can find joy in and count on is the fabulous bit of storytelling and memory keeping hullabaloo that is National Scrapbook Day. This year, as always, the Lilypad Designers have created a fresh series of free downloads to kick of this year’s National Scrapbook Day festivities!  So welcome to my little bit of the memory keeping Happy! You may have found your way here from Liz’s blog as you hop along collecting these sunny and pretty bits.

And I’m so very glad that this landscape of documenting along the hop encourages us to document the little routines and bits of regular that fill our days. I really believe it is the little things, that build the beautiful mosaics of our Story. So hope you enjoy!

As the hop has come to a close, this collection is no longer available for download. Be on the lookout for part 2 and 3 at The Lilypad this weekend.

YouYou can also take a peek at other free downloads in the Plant Your Story free download gallery {here}.

And be sure to sign-up for my newsletter to stay in the loop of all the latest news, exclusives and happenings with Sara Gleason and Plant Your Story…including the latest newsletter subscriber’s exclusive free download (available only to Garden Report subscribers).

And, if you love what you see visit my shop for more story-centric inspiration!

The Rituals: Morning collection is available on our hop until 11:59pm EDT on Thursday April 30th 2020. Please be sure to visit all of our stops before then. If you missed a spot or have lost your way, simply head to the beginning.  The first stop is in the Lilypad blog HERE.  Then, watch for the Afternoon Rituals and Evening Rituals as free with purchase collaborations during our National Scrapbooking Day celebrations, from May 1- 4.

You can continue on to the next stop on the hop at Allison’s site. She has something completely amazing for you!

Enjoy! Happy Scrapping!
