Today was Curtis’ last day of school. His last baseball game was Saturday. What does this mean, we don’t have anything scheduled for the next six weeks! So what am I gonna do with my new found time, I am going to document our life of the last three months. The last opportunity I had to work on my Project Life album was mid March. Since that time, I’ve been busy collecting memories.

I started watching Becky Higgins Project Life Course on Creative Live. Though pricey, I’ve learned a lot through the video series. I am still a newbie when it comes to Project Life, but I did learn one thing from this course, I was making it too difficult. The beauty of the album is, life is documented. The beauty is in the completion and the memories. I love traditional scrapbooking and my personal style is simple and balanced. I prefer my scrapbook pages to accent my photos; I don’t want the design of the page seen as the focus of the page.

One of the things that resonated with me when I watched the Project Life Course on Creative Live, is work in batches. I do this when I scrapbook, so I’m not sure why I didn’t start this with my Project Life album. So now I have started working in batches, which is my natural work flow.

First step, clean up my office from the spring chaos. Slightly reorganize my Project Life supplies in a method that will work for me. Even though I have a beautiful space for me to create, I want to be with my boys. So I need to make sure that I can take my supplies with me anywhere so I can be with my boys. What do I need to travel, my album, pages, photos, a core kit, and a pen. All of this will fit into a small bag when I’m gone for the weekend, or on the table in our living room when the boys play games. I have a beautiful room full of toys, but my family is my inspiration.

So in the last week, I have completed all of my week cards of journaling up to this week. I accomplish this by my daily e-mail to Oh Life! I export these entries into a Word document, then I make a 4×6 card for each week. This is how I am able to fully document our life. I’ve printed a few pictures to fill in gaps. I know what time-frame of pictures I still need to print. I’ve completed a few journaling cards in my album. With each page I complete, I am a little more excited about this life that I am living and the memories I will keep.
