project life may 2014

May 28, 2014

project life may 2014 I’ve been meaning to really try out Project Life. I love all the spreads I see on Studio Calico, a scrapbook site I’m on, but I don’t think I could dedicate myself to a 12×12 album for a year. It just seems way too big for me, plus I love the 6×8 binder size better. 6×8 just seems more practical in size for storage and at this point in my life, I could use all the space savers I can get. For the beginning of the year, I had dedicated myself to a 7×9 binder to act as my “year binder.” I figured if I kept a binder solely for scrapped layouts and PL spreads, I’d have it filled by the end of the year. Well, I kept to my goal to scrap daily so well that by the end of April I had filled that binder up with a mixture of layouts, Project Life and art journaling to the point that I needed a new binder. Since I didn’t have a binder (and didn’t want to spend money on getting a new one), I emptied out my failed 2013 binder (“failed” because I started it in September and didn’t really stick to it), put the few spreads I had in that one at the beginning of my 2014 binder, and just reused my 2013 binder. It worked out so well that now I have a brand new binder with tons of inserts to be filled!

This time around though, I’m dedicating myself to doing solely Project Life in this binder. I started it in May because I finished April off in the other binder, plus I just got my first Studio Calico kit, which was May’s Camelot. So far so good! I’ve documented everything that happened in May thus far! Having Project Life in the back of my head has really gotten me to start taking more pictures. I’ve been making a conscious effort to bring my camera wherever I go and afterwards, I’ve gotten into the habit of printing my pictures right away, so that I have mini piles of photos to scrap. The mere sight of photos laying around really have motivated me in actually getting spreads done. And once I get into a groove, it’s really fun and I don’t stop until I get sleepy (I scrap in the evenings, so I basically scrap ’til I drop). I’ve also been getting into my stash, which is wonderful. Things that I have bought and never used are now being opened and used. It really is a wonderful feeling because now it gives me some sort of justification to buying new scrap supplies!

Now, all I need is a new printer. My Canon Selphy has been acting wonky lately. Sometimes it reads my photos and other times it doesn’t. Sometimes it prints perfectly and other times my photos come out blurry. Then our main home printer sucks at printing photos, so printing my photos have been a bit frustrating lately. But who knew deciding on a new printer could be so hard? All of the printers I’m interested in have mixed reviews, which make it difficult for me to choose which to buy, so naturally I haven’t purchased one yet. I guess I’ll have to do a bit more research and just decide. Anyway, here are a few pictures of my new Project Life spreads!

    Nice spreads, I want to get into Project Life but my life doesn’t have space for it …yet. I like the color combos you used so fresh and pretty!

      Thanks! And you’ll start your PL when it feels right. It took me a little over a year to begin mine! I had everything I needed to begin, but IDK, it just wasn’t the right time yet. But once you’re ready, just dive right in! It’s so much fun!

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

Documenting my One Little Word in my #unravelingjournal.

I love my word Heart for this year. If you've seen a particular Youtube video of mine, you would know why I chose it, but by documenting it in my journal and simply carrying it around with me I realized it contains multitudes!!! I love how I can visually document it so effortlessly since it's a symbol and a shape. I also embrace its many layers and meaning. I'm just in love with my word. She's a winner. xx

I shared a look at the January pages I made in my unraveling journal the other day on my new website tiffanyjulia.com. I've been working in this journal pretty much on the down low while I've been working on a new project. I quite like how some of these pages turned out. I'll share them all here in the coming days. xx
