Autumn Bucket List 2021- Shutterbean.com

We are into Autumn already as of September 22nd! WEEEEEEEEE! It’s my favorite season.  I spent some time this week writing down my Autumn Bucket List 2021 in my Currently Workbook (2022 version coming soon!). 

Here are some of my intentions for the season!

  • make our home cozy (you can see more of it on #shutterbeanhouse
  • make apple pie

I am going to be gathering some seeds too!

Here’s my Autumn Bucket List from last year!  

I really do enjoy putting together these vignettes. It helps me be more intentional about time. It has become a nice ritual to collect items that catch my eye during the season and place them in the frame. 

If you would like to join in on making an Autumn Bucket List, you can download one from my shop here! 

Post a picture and tag @shutterbean and @thehandwritingclub

I’d love to see what you’re up to this Autumn.

My Everyday Life Week 37

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 37

I have to get another mammogram soon to get another look. I’m trying to stay positive. I posted about it on my Instagram stories and heard from so many people who have been in the same boat. There were a few older women who left comments and this one made me feel comforted. It’s something my Mom would have said.
