Project Life- Week 1

I decided that I wanted to work on Project Life upstairs so I set up a table and moved a few supplies up and now I get to work in front of the window. It's nice to have all the light and Anna has less scrap booking product to "get into" up here. She's such a good helper ;-)

My title page for PL.

Week 1: January 1 - January 7
In my efforts to stay on top of this and not forget what we all did I am writing daily notes in my journal at the end of the day. It's great because I can go to the journal when I'm making these pages and easily access the memories.
I added in a page (collector card holder from the dollar store) for all the photos from Anna at the park because I couldn't choose just one or two. I also added in an 8.5 x 11 page protector to hold a facebook message between my sweet friend Naomi and myself. I just copied and pasted the messages in a word document, added in the date they were sent and then printed it off.
In the bottom right corner I added a card for "my favorite thing you do right now" and am putting what I love about Anna at this moment. This is something I hope to continue for the rest of the project. Even after just one week she has done so many things I want to remember. I wish I had done this type of project from when she was born, I feel like I have forgotten so many important things. Good thing I took a billion photos.

I am excited about this project and can't wait to share more with you.

I have been so sad lately because none of my regular dollar-store haunts have any of those card holders in stock right now! And I am out!! ACK!!

I love how you are writing a note about Anna each week.

I love how the colours of the kit match Anna perfectly!

I love that you have set up a special space for your PL scrapbooking.

You have reminded me that I need to email Naomi! We're due for our annual coffee date!

I'm also doing PL this year (oh my goodness) and am excited to see the differences between yours, mine and Ginger's albums!
