So, Project Life, is a fun idea created by Becky Higgins. It is basically about documenting a year by taking a picture a day-or a few a month, or however you want to do it. After seeing a few friends do it last year I decided to try it.
My BIG reasons for doing this are:
- I think it would be fun to look back at the end of 2011 and see a picture everyday of that year! What a way to remember the year!!
-I am not scrapbooking nearly as much as I would like to be due to lack of time and a good place to do it. Having a newborn and a toddler means I don't have a lot of free time for long stretches and its hard to get everything out and then Kennedy wants to play with my stuff....and you know how the excuses go. But with project life, I can write the little story that goes with the picture so later I can remember what was going on and the date so I can scrapbook the ones I really want to scrapbook when I have time! Like the other day on our winter walk....I don't want to forget that Kennedy was collecting all the pinecones she could find and she did not want to return home and that it was Lexi's first time in the snugli! Later on, I can go scrapbook that!
-A way to make me take more pictures! A few months ago I was looking back at some pics and I realized that in a whole month I had like 6 pictures!! Crazy!! I love pictures. I want lots! With project life, it forces me to get my camera out and take some pictures. Everyday stuff that I want to look back on and remember and my kids to remember too!
-Its fun and easy!
-Its pretty stress free
-It's FREE!
So, I created another blog where if you like, you can go look at our year of pictures. I'll update it as much as I can. I'm so EXCITED about this project! I think its going to be so fun!
At the end of the year, I think I'll buy the album and print all the pics and just put them all in! Easy peasy!
If you're even thinking of doing it, YOU SHOULD! what have you got to lose?? Its easy and free! You just need a camera!
