december daily : completed

January 4, 2013

And this little album is finished! I decided to end it after Christmas because now I am completely focused on the new year and a fresh start in so many areas. But I’m pleased with the tradition and I think it’ll make a nice addition to the holidays, even though as I said before I won’t be doing it on a daily basis in the future. You should have seen what was going on while I was taking these pictures. I had to keep moving the book around on the floor because the child or dogs would get too close. I was trying not to let Meredith get her grubby little hands on it but unfortunately I wasn’t quick enough…

project life 2012 : weeks 45 – 46

December 28, 2012

I’m apparently taking an unplanned break from regular blogging for the holidays, due to Meredith coming down with a virus for almost a week over Christmas (fever of 104+ for five days! Scary!) and now dealing with a really tough week of work. I hope to be back on track next week, but today I wanted to share the first two weeks of December. Fairly neutral layout this week, with lots of blues. On the left side I mostly left the photos alone and just did one journaling card. Most of our holiday stuff is being documented in my December daily album, but I had a couple more things I wanted to fit in. Pretty simple on the right side…

december daily week two

December 21, 2012

I’m home today with a surprise fever baby (boo!), but before we head into the holiday weekend I wanted to give you an update on my December daily album. It’s coming along! This is from last week, and I will do one more update after Christmas. Have a great weekend everyone! I, unfortunately, am so not prepared for Christmas yet. I still have a bunch of cleaning, shopping, and wrapping to do. Good thing I don’t mind the hustle and bustle. :)

project life : my process, tips, & going forward

December 20, 2012

I’ve been doing Project Life since February of this year and I can honestly say that it’s been one of the most rewarding, fun, and satisfying endeavors. The idea of scrapbooking and memory-keeping is one that I’ve been interested in for a long time, and when I had a baby that feeling went into overdrive. The problem was that traditional methods didn’t appeal to me. On one hand the blank slate of a 12×12 page was overwhelming, and on the other a regular photo book didn’t seem like enough – I wanted to be a little more hands-on, but it had to be simple and structured. Project Life has worked for me. It’s the first real scrapbook I’ve ever kept…
