project life : week whaatttt?

July 31, 2012 /

Or, in Austin's words – "Dude. You should really get this thing on track." 

Yes, dude, I should. And I am – sort of. The state of the union for me & Project Life looks something like this - 

  1. I'm taking lots of photos. Many with my iphone. Many on instagram. 
  2. I'm saving stuff, although I'm trying to take Barb's advice on organizing it. 
  3. I'm still completely in love with the project, and just giving myself some needed space to get things done. 
  4. I'm more mindful about my days. This is, by far, the biggest benefit of Project Life. I notice, record, and reflect on daily stuff. 
  5. I am contributing to the financial health of the scrapbooking industry. In other words? I'm buying washi tapes & paper & STUFF. 
  6. And, of course, I'm having a BLAST with Project Life Planned.

Speaking of (seque into "sponsored post" here…) Project Life Planned, we're up to something fun! We've partnered with a brand new kit club, Gossamer Blue! 

Gossamer Blue (http://www.gossamerblue.com) is a new monthly kit club dedicated to inspiring and motivating memory keepers and crafters alike. Each main kit is well coordinated with a mix of products from multiple manufacturers, and also includes Lori Whitlock (http://www.loriwhitlock.com/blog/) die cutting and digital elements.

    This is gorgeous! I suppose eventually I’ll be doing this too. Right now I am taking far too many classes so I just can’t, but it looks SO FUN!

    I love coming here and reading your posts – its my first year doing PL too and I am grateful that it has got me back to scrapping – the taking photos bit is a constant in my life anyway, but the scrapping, not so much, I have let it slide over the last 2/3 years.
    PL suits me and my life right now, lots more stuff is getting documented, but I have slipped a few times during the year :
    At the beginning I was late to the party, so I started at week 4 and never went back and did those missing weeks even though I have the journaling.
    By week 24 I had accepted a position on a national kit club DT so we have 6 missing weeks there too
    I began again on week 31 , but in order to stay “caught up” I am “scrapping on speed”
    photos journaling and not much else – not how I wanted it to go but its getting done at the moment.
    I do want to get those missing weeks done AND I am committed to doing this again next year (albums already ordered) I too have learnt from my mistakes this year and understand the pitfalls and time constraints better now so I will be ready for PL 2013
    Not sure how I am going to fit in my December Daily this year though unsure if I should combine DD and PL – How about you ??
