Project Life

Last year, I took on the task of documenting our life by taking a picture every day and then a little journal about it. When I first started it, I wasn't sure I would keep it up, it seemed daunting. But once I got started and into it, it became easy and just a part of life. You can read about the whole process here. So, I finished my year of documenting on January 1st. I ordered the new version out for this year and here they are!! The new one in it's box and the old one completed. New...old

The layouts are simple and easy to do. One picture, one little journal about it and what we did that day.

You can take a picture of anything about your life. The tabbed journaling on the far right is a folded card for more journaling than a little card could hold.

Here is 2010 on the shelf now complete and finished.

Here is 2011 on my desk ready to be added to daily. I keep the journal cards right by my bed and just before going to bed, I do my journal card. I have a folder on my computer called project life where I copy the pictures to about once a week or so and then about every month, I print out the pictures and add them to the book. It isn't as daunting as it sounds and it's fun to do. Even friends and people other than family know about it and when I pull out my camera, they say "Oh, is that for your picture of the day?" You should try it!
