Summer Ideas!

Hiya everyone. Hope you've had a great week! Today I thought I'd share some ideas to kind of record and document your summer. There are several ideas I came up with, some more obvious than others...So here they are:

▪ Video
Now this may seem obvious but a way to make it more interesting is to film what you do on a daily basis so it's like a diary (or a vlog...but you don't need to upload it to the internet). Edit it and insert dates and timings and put it in order, so at the end of summer you can relive the memories!

▪ Photo Album
Take photos and print them, then place them in a photo album dedicated to your summer. Nowadays, we take lots of photos but they're mostly on our phone, laptops or social networks. Therefore printing them and being able to look through them in a photo album is more special.

▪ Photo Collage
Like with the photo album, you'll need to print the photos and then stick them all together creating a collage! You could try printing them different sizes so that it'd be easier to fit together and look more interesting.

▪ Scrap Book
The good thing about scrap booking is that you can literally add any bits and pieces and it can never be too messy. Add receipts, leaflets, wrappers, photos, notes, letters...anything! Anything that was part of your summer will do. I find adding a sentence or two is more exciting as it helps add a little more detail.

▪ Letter
You could send letters to a family member or friend every week telling them what you've been up to. It'd be fun if you knew what they've been up to as well. At the end of the summer, you could then meet up with them and return each other's letters so that you can keep it as a diary. If you wanted to have a copy of both however (yours and theirs), you could always photocopy them. Also, if physically posting letters is complicated for you, email could also be used.

▪ Diary/Journal
Or the most obvious one... Is to keep a diary (and try to stick to it)! Everyday write down what you've done, even if it wasn't particularly exciting. That way you have it all written down and ready to look through when you want to relive the memories.

Hope you've enjoyed this post and do let me know if you want me to keep doing these type. Have a lovely weekend ♥
