project life january + february 2015

July 27, 2015

At the ending of last year, I had many intentions for my Project Life 2015 album. The major intention was to keep it going daily and keep up-to-date with it, so that I wasn’t trying to catch up with it weeks or even months later.

Oh how I am failing.

I haven’t touched my Project Life album since National Scrapbooking Day on May 2, when I decided to start it! So, a few days ago as I was perusing through all of my minibooks and planners, I spotted my Project Life 2015 album from the corner of my eye. I’ve been getting back into YouTube lately, and have begun to follow a lot more scrapbookers and planner nerds. There were two in particular that I watched their Project Life videos and I began to think, I should work on mine. It’s funny how a bit of inspiration from someone else’s work makes you want to work on your own project. These ladies’ Project Life albums were the 12×12 size and I just sat there and thought to myself, well if they can keep up with theirs, I can surely begin my little 6×8 album and keep with up for the rest of the year.

So since my summer has been pretty slow going all of a sudden (I’m down to one job instead of multiple and my boss has been away on vacation, so I haven’t had much work), I figure I’d work on my album. It’s really interesting how when you look at your empty album and the stack of photos you have next to it, it seems quite overwhelming to even begin. But once I push myself and start working on it, I sort of get into the flow of it and often times I can’t stop. I suppose that’s why they say the hardest bit of it is beginning.

So far I’ve gotten January and February done. To be quite honest, I haven’t been taking many photos this year, so there wasn’t much to document. I do have a nice stack of photos though for the following years, but once in the spread, it won’t look like much. I’ve also been keeping it quite simple. I’ve never been a master at embellishing my spreads, but I think these pages are especially under-embellished. They came out lovely nonetheless. I realized I especially love labels, which is unfortunate as I’m almost out of them. I’ll have to print some more!

I shared the quick process of creating this spread in my @daphnes.diary scrapbook on my Youtube channel the other day. I'm quite behind in sharing all of these pages (and to be honest quite behind in actually documenting my last few weeks) but it is what it is. I'm not stressing it...just like how I'm not stressing that I'm MONTHS behind in my 5-year journal lol. Glad I've been daily journaling in my planner! xx

My new (small) TBR book stack for this year. I have it to hopefully read 20 books this year, but I decided to only pull out about 10 to see if I can get through that first. Y'all, I'm terrible at reading these days. I think I just need to do better at making time for it, so I started reading before bed. We'll see how it goes. Friend me on Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/aerialovely! I love seeing everyone's challenges! xx

I absolutely adore this passage about Spring from Jeanette Winterson.

Happy Astrological New Year! xx

Baby boy is 15 years old today! He's no little boy anymore, but a fine old senior dog (actually I think technically he's geriatric). He's definitely slowed down quite a bit with his thyroid problem and just general old age. C19 has definitely been really hard on him. He was struggling with his hyperactive thyroid all through 2020 and no one could figure out why he was so sad and blah until mid-2021 when he got properly diagnosed. But since being on his meds, he's got that puppy spirit again! He does have some separation anxiety now and literally needs to be with people constantly. But that's a given especially since there's always someone home now for him to be with. But it's getting better though! The absolute highlight of his week though is going over to our neighbor's apartment every Tuesday as I tutor one of the girls in math. He gets SO happy then because he gets to play lol. HBD Joey! xx

Driftwood—documenting the signs and synchronicities I see in my life. I'm paying attention to these little coincidences of life. At the beginning of the year, I took @gabbybernstein's manifestation challenge and she had us choose something to be our sign so that whenever we see it, it's a sign from the Universe that what we want is actually on the way. I chose "seeing hearts" because it felt right and aligned with my guiding word for the year, Heart. Gabby asked us to keep a list of all the driftwood we collect, and my god have I been seeing hearts. And while what I desire might not happen right away, I feel like this is the Universe’s way of telling me to trust—to let go and trust.

Into the unraveling journal it all goes. Happy Friday loves. xx

Oh hey, shamelessly sharing this for #thursday3 because tbh I need a different type of photo to break up the feed...

✩ I've been feeling really lost and stagnant in life lately—actually for the last couple of months. Just going through the motions and the sheer monotony of life. I'm not used to doing the same sorts of things day in and day out (probably why I never had a 9 to 5 before). It's kind of boring and that makes me sad. To be fair, I am really blessed and I love my job, but it's a job and not my life, and while I thought getting my ideal job would make me happy, it hasn't. So I've been trying to figure out why that is and what's missing. (Also still going through old shit, but we won't talk about that again.)

✩ I've been playing around with a test WordPress installation on my server and building a little social network-like community on there. It looks super neat, but I honestly don't know if I'll do anything with it. I'm not very good at community building lol. The number of times I've tried, it just never builds as I hope. But like, I'm just really not very good at it! I'm more of a participant than a host. But this site is looking super cool!! It's basically Facebook but not. It's better and I haven't a clue if I should open it up to people to join. Would you actively participate in it?

✩ While I hate the motion of changing the clocks backward and forward, I'm loving the extra daylight! It's making me really happy to finish work around 6 pm and it still being light out. I can't wait for spring!

How are you loves? I hope everyone is well. Happy Thursday! xx
