Although I have been keeping up pretty well with Project Life I have not shared it much on my blog as often as I would like for several reasons. One is of course, lack of remembering to photograph it- the other reasons are a combination of trying to get some things blurred or blocked out of it for uploading it (since it contains some personal information sometimes) and also because I have not spent tons of time on lately so it really is just thrown together. But something is better than nothing (I keep telling myself). I decided I should at least share some of what I have done lately.
That brings me updated until about last week- which I am almost done with except for a bit of journaling.
If you are interested in checking out my posts in the past you can do that here.
I am very happy to see I have made it this far with this project. I mentioned before that at the end of last year I only had one layout done (besides Jude's baby album) and I was really upset to see I had not been documenting such an important year. I really enjoy looking back at past weeks and when we have people over they always want to check the album out also (I leave it out so I work on it throughout the week.)
My favorite pages are always ones where I have a little bit of everything- some photos, some journaling and some pieces from everyday life. But I don't always have that at the end of the week so I use what I have. Sometimes I choose to focus on a single event that happened during the week and other times it is a mixture of many days. This method works much better than a photo a day for me. I don't feel constantly pressured to take a photo each day when I really don't have much to photograph. I also get to include more photos of an event rather than just one.
I have been considering using this method for a few other albums that I have yet to start- mainly our honeymoon. I think it would work really well with what I have collected (a lot of papers and such from different places we went) and hope to get some time to get that organized soon.
Love your project. I'm so in love with your shop. Would have loved to try out for your team. Maybe next time.
