October Project Life with Paper Person

I was thrilled when I heard Kelly Purkey was opening a new shop called Paper Person! I’ve missed her designs in my spreads and I’m really excited to see what the new shop has in store. Kelly generously sent me some of the new products and I’m happy to be creating with her clean and on-trend designs again.

Today I’m sharing a project life spread I made using the October Kit, At Home, and the traveler’s notebook kit, Fall Forever. Sadly both of these kits sold out fast, but the digitals are still available!

I’m documenting in 9×12 this year and I love this size! I’m also documenting 2 weeks at a time which has made it easier to stay caught up. For this week, we celebrated the start of Fall with a trip to an apple farm to go apple picking. I added some photos from that trip, and decorated them using those beautiful leaf die cuts from the TN kit.

I also had to include this ridiculous photo of my cat, who makes us laugh most of the time with her funny poses. The stamped phrases are from the At Home stamp and “so tired” is from the Take-Out stamp.

For the right hand side, I used some photos from our various outings. Even though we’re at home a lot more this year, we still try to make time to enjoy the outdoors. I need the fresh air, and we’re lucky to live near some places with beautiful views.

I love that acorn card and used the Amelia alpha stamp with the Outdoors stamp to customize the card.

Lastly, I used the Take-Out stamp to document some doughnuts we picked up from a nearby shop after one of our hikes. I saved the packaging from the box I had been hoarding to use as the backing. I then stamped the “To-Go Time” from the stamp set, punched it out, and adhered it, with some letter stickers onto the card for some color.

Let me know if you have any questions! I’d love to see what you’re making with the new Paper Person shop products too!

  1. In China, people are hiring ‘climbing buddies’ for big money. The more attractive they are, the higher the price

    Wendy Chen decided to challenge herself by climbing Mount Tai, a well-known mountain in eastern China.

    But there was one obstacle in her way: she couldn’t find a friend to join her for the five-hour trek.

    Rather than forgo her plans, the 25-year-old hired a “climbing buddy,” a young man with extensive outdoor experience, to accompany and support her to the 5,000-foot peak.

    Known in Chinese as “pei pa” (meaning “accompany to climb”), these are young Chinese men who join strangers on their journeys up popular mountains for a price. The trend has gained momentum this year, as hashtags related to “climbing buddy” have had over 100 million views on Chinese social media.

    Young, athletic individuals, often university students or even military veterans, advertise themselves on social media platforms like Xiaohongshu and Douyin, with profiles featuring their height, fitness level and hiking experience. They usually charge between 200 to 600 yuan ($30 to $85) per trip.

    During the climb, these “buddies” will do anything to distract their clients from feeling exhausted and push them to keep going: from singing, telling jokes, playing music, verbal encouragement, going so far as carrying their bags, holding their hands, and pulling them.
    A day on the mountain
    Chen and her climbing buddy’s adventure began at around 8:00 pm so she could arrive at the peak in time for the famous sunrise. After assessing her fitness level, her climbing buddy planned a moderate route and carried her backpack the whole way.

    When they faced chilling winds at the peak, Chen’s climbing buddy rented a thick coat for her while directing her to a walled shelter.

    At the moment the sun rose, Chen’s climbing buddy was already prepared with a national flag and other props so that she could take a memorable photo. Though she felt his photography skills still had room to improve, she rated her climbing buddy as “satisfactory.” The service cost her 350 yuan ($49).

    Though Chen paid a typical price for a climbing buddy, she acknowledges that more good-looking buddies can command higher rates.

    “Attractiveness is also part of their strength,” she says.

    Climbing buddies’ main customers tend to be single young women, but that’s slowly changing.

    A video of a strong male university student carrying a three-year-old effortlessly up a steep mountain — while the toddler’s mother trailed far behind — went viral this summer.

  3. The surprising history of the Fair Isle sweater
    Adult services in Herzliya Pituach
    Which fashion item is as beloved by members of the royal family as it is by JLo? Or as relevant on the runways of 2024 as in the knitting catalogs of 1960? The answer is surprisingly festive. The Fair Isle knit, a two-stranded knitting tradition originating off the coast of Scotland, has been a wardrobe staple for well over 100 years — keeping everyone from 18th century fisherman to Mick Jagger warm.

    In the last five years, luxury brands Ralph Lauren, Thom Browne, Chanel, Celine, Balenciaga, Raf Simons, Versace and Dries van Noten have all sent their renditions of the heritage knit down the catwalk. London-based designer Molly Goddard has even made the pattern something of an unofficial signature, making sure to pair a structured Fair Isle-style knit with a flouncy, tulle skirt in almost every collection.

    In short, it has become a winter classic that seems perpetually in vogue. Rom-com leading man, Adam Brody, recently wore a red and white version on the cover of Stylist magazine; while Katie Holmes was snapped running errands in an old beige Fair Isle favorite from 2022.
    For those in the northern hemisphere, it’s appropriate to shrug on as soon as the nights draw in right until sweater weather deteriorates. That being said, even in season-less Los Angeles, stars like Hailey Bieber have been seen in the cozy Fair Isle knits grabbing coffees.

    Taking its name from the island of Fair Isle — part of the Shetland archipelago about 100 miles off the northeastern coast of Scotland — the knitting technique first began in fisherman’s hats during the 18th and 19th century (our beloved sweaters came much later). The two strand pattern was not only artistic, but made the tall, conical shaped caps extra warm by doubling the textile mass. They often featured a knitted interior lining, too.

  20. In the 1990s, growth of a “world-class” aquarium was considered a sign of hope for the economically-depressed metropolis and proof of its potential to come together to create civic improvements.

  46. Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to
    see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a
    youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.
    I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it
    with someone!
