new project. i ordered project life designed by becky higgins and my box arrived. becky offers two editions. amber edition and turquoise edition. i ordered the turquoise edition.
i'm in love with this project and anxious to get started. the kit contains everything you need for one year of documenting your life. within the kit (go see the link above... it's better detailed) you receive a 12x12 album, 12x12 divided clear page protectors, 12x12 paper, boxes of wonderful journaling cards (I LOVE THESE!), stickers, date stamp, clear acrylic twelve month dividers. you can use project life to document each day (365) or each week (52).
my goal. i plan to record important events from each week. i know me. i'm too busy to document every day. with four kiddos to document, i'd start to feel overwhelmed. i want this to be fun and not overwhelming. i'm keeping it simple and more importantly, i want to finish the album. so excited. one entire year of our sweet life documented in okinawa.
ideally i'd start in january, but i recently discovered this project (on ali's blog). luckily i take lots of photos so i'm good there. i need to sit down one day and record the facts to accompany the photos... think back and remember. i'll use facebook and my blog to help me document those memories. thankfully i journal here and there so it should not be too hard. for now... i'm starting with today and keeping current. that's my goal!
for wonderful inspiration... see ali's project life. she amazes me. i love her organization. her art. and she posts regularly each week. she shows images. gives details. and takes questions.
getting started. i laid out my contents. organized them so it made sense to me. my brain works that way. i opted to use an american crafts 12x12 album. i want to embellish the cover with my own funky designs. using the twelve month acrylic dividers, i decided on how many page protectors to place in each monthly section. i also ordered AC 10x12 divided clear page protectors and placed one in each monthly section. the album itself came with ten 12x12 clear page protectors. i had some extra of these to add to the album so again i added one to each monthly section. i may add more. we'll see. i don't want it to be too overstuffed. so my pages are organized and now i'm starting to fill in my first week.
have a great weekend!
