Project Life

It's been a while since I have posted here. Life has been busy. I haven't really wanted to post short and sweet blog entries, but maybe that is the key to getting in the habit of blogging.

In a similar vein, I have not been able to create many scrapbook layouts over the last few months. Maybe because I like to put a lot into each layout - a lot of thought, a lot of journaling, a lot of feeling. Sometimes a lot of photos. This year I am trying to get on the Project Life bandwagon, a kind of short and sweet way to scrap. I don't have to agonize over the sizes of photos, the length of journaling, the amount of embellishments. I can just go in and get 'er done.

Week One was pretty easy,

just a few random shots from our everday lives this week and a little journaling ot go along with them.

But at the beginning of Week Two I could feel my interest waning already (I feel like I am suffocating when I use the same format over and over - kind of the way I feel at the end of Week In The Life) but I decided to push on through it. I am encouraged by Ali Edwards' posts from the past year as she did this project. I think if I can stick with it I will have a really cool album at the end of the year documenting our lives.

So today I rotated my template and made page one of Week Two,

and now I am kind of excited to take more pictures and see how page two shapes up. I'll let you know...
