Our Life...

The Word is OUT! Project Life 2013...

I am still pinching myself in disbelief that I was lucky enough to be chosen by Becky Higgins to represent her and her brand of Project Life! I have been happily dedicated to taking a picture each and every day since 2009, and I am excited to start my 5^th year of recording our everyday memories this very same way. I am very passionate about this entire concept. I totally believe in this process. I couldn’t imagine my life without it. I look through my older albums, and I am in complete amazement at what I would have totally forgotten about. The memories that would have been lost had I not taken that shot that day, or the pictures and pictures that would still be on my computer just waiting to be printed.

What I truly love about this system is that you can make it whatever you want. You don’t have to take a picture each day like I do. You can simply do a month in review per spread. Slide in your favorite 7 shots taken that month, or maybe you have more pictures. Just make it as many spreads as you need. Slide in your pictures, write your story or even just a couple of words, and you are done. With each pocket, a memory has been preserved. Love that!

You can learn more about it here on Becky Higgins’ Website.

Here is a great video too :)

So who is with me? I have convinced my very best of friends to jump on board with me, are you?

...Now, bring on 2013!

Winter

Even with our couple of 60+degree days we have had this past week, I know winter is just around the cold corner from us. I have a layout at the My Mind's Eye blog today featuring the Christmas collection All is Bright. I pulled these lovelies together to create a winter page for Elsie's album.

It's hard to believe that these pictures were taken 2 years ago. They change so much!

... And then there was December.

Well, I am not sure where November went. All I know is that December is here, which brought us our awesome holiday guest, Rexie!

As you can clearly see, the kiddies are not excited at all. Nope. Not. At. All. Our elf is back, our books are wrapped and ready for reading each night, and our house is being prepped for illumination as I type. Now, I just have to figure out how I am going to get everything done in the next 24 days!

Last year, I did my very first December Daily. It’s a mini album of all the fun little things we did during the holiday season. I have the greatest intention to do another one this year, but I am not quite sure how I will fit that in. BUT I do have the album. I do have the stuff. (Of course, I have plenty of stuff.) I just don’t have a proper working printer, which is putting a little crimp in my plans. I will figure it out though. Last year’s album is one of my very favorite projects I have done. If you want to check it out, take a look at my right side bar under the photo albums. You will find it under December Daily 2011.

Now, let the Christmas fun begin!
