project life: up to date...phew!
As promised, I photographed and am sharing the last five weeks of my Project Life album. Done. Through this past Sunday, July 29th! I've been keeping with my scheduled Tuesdays to complete each week and it's been a good plan.
You may notice in the last few weeks that I have been using many more digital cards and elements. Time is short and the most important thing about this project is that I document our life right now, record the bits that would otherwise be long forgotten and take photos each day. Using our computer as a "supply" to keep on top of this album is sometimes just an easier way. As much as I love using all kinds of fun paper goods, I'm okay with that. Again, Project life is about documentation - however that works for YOU! One week that may mean lots of handcrafted elements and others it may be lots of typed journaling. I don't feel that my album has to have a cohesive design. The "design" is our family. It's what works for me.
