My hope is to share my project life pages here, I fell in love with
project life before I knew what project life was. In 2011 I did a photo a
day, known as project 365 and I did it all digitally and printed it in a
shutterfly album at the end of the year. I love that book so much, but
the one thing I felt was missing was the little momento’s from our day
to day. Like homework, artwork, stars from the kids teachers etc that I
know I will love in years to come and hope my kids will appreciate. So
in 2012 I did becky higgens project life and I was completely
overwhelmed. Going from a digi girl to paper I was lost and had no idea
how to do anything. I quickly fell behind, and not a little bit behind.
When the mill where my husband worked blew up and he lost his job I all
but quit. I kept taking my photos and journaling every day in my ohlife
email thing because I knew I wanted to catch up one day but the process
overwhelmed me and I quickly got discouraged when I seen all these
amazing layouts from all the amazing girls that do project life. I so
wished I could scrap like them.
When Becky announced her joining with studio calico for a project life
kit I felt finally this was my answer! Being from a small town in
Canada, we don’t have a scrap store where I live. I can’t just go buy
all these cute things so I could finally get these cute things and they
were going to match and they were going to be sent to me. Awesome! I
signed up that day. Now I am in the process of doing 2013 and catching
up with 2012 and I really don’t feel overwhelmed. I have come to accept I
am not going to be amazing and awesome but that’s okay. I am going to
keep my family’s memories and that’s what matters.
