Starting Project Life

I've taken the plunge and started a Project Life album.

So far I've only done a title page, but since I don't think I'm aiming for a traditional weekly spread I should be able to get January sorted soon. I've even printed some photos! (This is my biggest obstacle - I rarely remember to print photos. I'm so disorganised) 

I'm really just hoping to record more about our life and the crazy things we sometimes get up to, but also done of the day to day things that we sometimes overlook. Plus I assume there will be lots of photos of Turtle.

The cards I've used are a mix of MAMBI cards and Studio Calico. Matt gave me a subscription to the Studio Calico PL kit for Christmas. Lucky!

Anybody out there also starting to PL?

Resolutions, New Year Style.

2013.

I think I succinctly summed it up on my fb status as "Well, that's over."

We had some fun times, and happy days. But I spent the year fighting some big personal battles and eventually ended up with the news that I had to make massive lifestyle changes. Immediately.

Luckily I'm now a few weeks in to the 'New Me' and am feeling so much better.  So in the spirit of change here are my New Years Resolutions. I figure if they are here then I am more accountable and more likely to stick with them.  So of them are perennials for previous years, as why not?


  • Wear more dresses
  • Kiss more
  • Walk every day
  • Stick to my food plan
  • Dive into Project Life
  • Stay organised
  • Be more comfortable with self promotion
  • Post more on both blogs
  • Less TV-more scrapping



I also have a few other goals that aren't really resolutions, such as save to get to CHA in 2015 (and save to get more in the house fund), increase our web traffic to the Dizzy Izzy store, expand our handmade items range, and continue our success with our Scrap Retreats.

My One Little Word for the year is TODAY. But I think I will still also revisit last years word as well, which was MAKE. Together, they pretty much sum up what I hope to get out of the year.

Lets see how it all goes.
