Okay friends, I'm back with some project life, I was 18 weeks behind! 18! I really do love this project but can honestly say I find it a tad overwhelming. In my defense, 18 weeks goes by crazy fast! It is hard to catch up, frustrating to organize my photos and tough to try and remember details but it is so worth it when I see the spread finally done up. I get to revisit all these days and all these little moments that were forgotten. I still think this is all worth it and I already know that I want to continue with Project Life in 2013. I am trying to come up with ways to stay organized in hopes of not getting lost in a pile of photos and notes like this year so far. Are you doing project life? Are you caught up? What are your tricks? Share with me your thoughts, leave a comment or send me an email (nadinekaren@ymail.com). I would love to hear from you!

I am so impressed that you went back and finished week 23! I don't take really good notes like you do, so I have low hopes for getting my May done. MAY!! That's where I left off. ack!
I'm glad you still love it, even though it's driving you batty! When I see your spreads I think maybe, just maybe I could try it again....but that's usually just a passing fancy!
How was your anniversary date last night?!
