Welcome to July Paper & Glam Family!
I'm catching up with you from Downtown LA this evening. We just wrapped up a two-day conference for work and I snuck away to update Paper & Glam.
Before I left for LA I posted July's Life List in The Glam Shop.
As with every month there's lots to celebrate in July!
July is heavy on the junk food holidays including Junk Food Day on the 21st, but remember there's other ways to celebrate without indulging. For example, on Donut Day I sent out themed thank you cards, donut you love it?
This month, I included my favorite seasonal read Gifts From the Sea. This book is a perennial summer classic as Ann Morrow Lindbergh shares her insights "on youth and age; love and marriage; peace, solitude and contentment" inspired by her time at the beach.
July is the peak of strawberry season so whether you're craving a strawberry kale salad or an all-American shortcake, be sure to try out a fresh strawberry recipe!
If you're new to Paper & Glam, check out the Life List category to get some inspiration for your own Life List from previous months and learn more about planning for tomorrow and celebrating today.
What's on your July List List?
Much love,
Lisamarie
Terrific post, Lisamarie. Wonderful, fun, and inspiring as ever! Love the idea of rereading Gift From the Sea! (Why didn't I think of that?!) Lots to look forward to in July! š Thank you for your inspiration.

I accidentally stumbled upon your site and completely became enthralled with everything! I had seen the EC planners before- but you have made me really excited about seriously considering getting one! I am a huge fan of Project Life (mostly the Project Life by Stampin' Up!)- you can check it out here:http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/CategoryPage.aspx?categoryid=102200 if you haven't seen that line). I use to be such a planner and have really gotten away from it in the last decade- I think I'm coming back! Love your style! Love your bookcase!

Yum, we have a wonderful strawberry festival that happens downtown Indy this month and it's to die for. Plus the proceeds go to a great cause, Girls Inc.! Great post!

Another great post. Thanks for the reminder of not always having to indulge in the food themed days and finding other creative ways to celebrate the days. I am diving into the monthly read this weekend, but will definitely add Gifts of the Sea to my list. Have a great July 4th.
