project life august – december 2014 and my plan for 2015

January 1, 2015

cover14

First I want to say that attempting Project Life in 2014 was hard but really fun. It was super difficult to keep up at a consistent flow, partly due to me not having enough time to sit down and make spreads and to me not really taking as many picture as I should. I also started my album in May, so it isn’t a full year. Also, I documented the month of September in my travel journal and only included a few photos of my trip in my Project Life spread because I thought it would be a bit redundant to have my trip repeated twice. All in all, 2014 was a good start. I documented a lot more than I thought I would.

So here’s the last bit of my Project Life 2014 album.

And here’s a completed flip through of my entire album.

Now, for 2015 I’m going to take the same approach, but do things a bit different as well. I’m still going to stick to the 6×8 album spread–this year I’ll be using a Studio Calico Handbook–and document my year in a “go with the flow” style, instead of doing it weekly or monthly. But I will be more conscious of adding to my album daily. Even if I don’t have a photo, just a little journaling on a card would be good. I’m hoping if I take this approach, I will keep up with my album more efficiently and I will prevent those bouts of time where I don’t do anything, then have to make it up weeks–sometimes months–later. Hopefully this also allows me to use up the many journalling cards I have hoarded over the year. Seriously, one intention of mine is to use up my stash instead of hoarding it, then buying more. I rather not purge, but use up the materials.

Besides that, I haven’t really thought much about how I’ll do my 2015 album. Just sticking to the same process really, since it did work for me in 2014. I guess, I’ll just have to be more aware of certain things and make sure to carry my camera around with me so that I have more memories to preserve in 2015!

    This is such a wonderful idea! I adore how it turns out, you did a terrific job. It looks absolutely beautiful. Good luck on your 2015 project! (You should try polaroids, too)

      Thank you! And I did! I have a couple of earlier spreads where I used polaroid photos I took with my Instax mini! Project Life is just an amazing format cause you can literally slip anything into the pockets.

I made a new snippet journal. This one is 6x6 and I'm going to use it as an art journal. I really really want to get back into art journaling. Like, it has been calling me for most of this year and I just haven't gotten back into the flow of it. I've been enjoying my time (writing) journaling, but there's this nagging feeling deep inside of me that wants to get messy but for some reason refuses to begin. So I think I'm just going to make myself begin. Just start and see what happens. I'm gonna make a lot of shitty art but if that's the means to begin then so be it

 Let's go make some shitty art. 

I hope I can begin this weekend. Process video of me creating this journal is up on my Youtube channel, if you're interested.

Happy Friday lovelies! xx

Still working through @lizelayne’s Water Your Soul course in my WYS journal. This little binder is getting so chunky! I still have lots to work through and am just merrily bouncing back and forth between lessons, anchoring myself in whatever practice my heart needs right now.

Today’s Flip-Through Friday is my Summer Stories 2023 journal.

This is sort of a hodge-podge journal of all sorts of bits—memories, junk, photos, art journal spreads, and lots of journaling. I've kept it all summer and it's now filled and completed and ready to share.

Here's just a quick flip-through. I've got a full chatty flip up on my Youtube channel if that's more your speed.

Happy Friday loves! xx

I finally finished filling up my 2023 Summer Stories journal. I had originally intended to only keep this one from June to July, but I didn't journal as much as I thought I would in here this summer, so it has lasted me through to the first few days of September. I'm not mad about it. I prefer a filled journal to a half-filled one. I personally hate leaving too many pages blank at the end. I'm hoping to have a flip-through up on my Youtube channel tomorrow. Just have to film it! 😆

Just wanted to share a little look at my Water Your Soul journal that I've been keeping this year for @lizelayne's class. I'm finding that I tend to dip into the course whenever I have the time and it's never consistent. But I am so surprised at how much I've actually managed to fill in this journal!

It is mostly a mixture of the class printables and my answers to the questions, magazine clippings, quotes, and lots and LOTS of journaling, but it's been a lovely place to return to over and over again.

I was able to explore more of the lessons this past weekend when I had some time thanks to the holiday. But I think that the joy of this particular journal—and course really—is that I can return to any part of it at any time and pick up where I left off. I can work out of order and move stuff around—love the binder for this! I get it, Liz! I love how this journal is growing as I move and grow through all of the And Spaces we've been exploring—and even some other And Spaces that showed up for me too!

I can't wait to see how this journal ends up looking by the end of the year. xx

I had one of those days today where I was so exhausted from the week but at the same time wanted to go out and do something. Ever feel that way while also knowing that you just need to rest?

I really wanted to sit in Central Park and catch up on all of my journals but I just couldn’t motivate myself to actually walk to the park. So I took myself (and the dog) down to our building’s courtyard and set up shop on the tiled patio. While there was no grass, it was very quiet out there and I was able to catch up on some journaling and continue in my Water Your Soul binder from where I left off months ago.

Past me had printed all the lovely printables @lizelayne had for every lesson that I had yet to complete, so I spent some time getting all of them into my journal. This quote in particular stood out to me today. This is me. I've dealt with perfectionism all my life and for the last 10 years, I've slowly been coming into my own person separate from the need to "be perfect."

There is no such thing as perfection. The reality that we're all so beautifully imperfect is the real truth we should all strive for.

Anyway, I hope you've all had and are having a wonderful Sunday. xx
