As I write this post, my Becky Higgins Project Life Kit is now on its way to my home. It has been months waiting for this and I can't wait to receive and open my very own Project Life Kit.
I first learned about Project Life around June of this year while surfing the net for scrapbooking ideas. I stumbled upon Becky Higgins website and I have been hooked waiting... waiting... waiting... for the Project Life products to be available again.
You see, I have two boys and I have been wanting to scrap their first year since my eldest turned one, but there are so many pictures to scrap but so little time. I am also partial to journalling. I love making captions so that I know what the pictures are about. I also love to journal. I have been into making a diary since I was 7 years old, but I also live a very busy life.
I really think Project Life is the answer to all of my documenting problems.
So in 2012, my Scrapbooking Goals are as follows:
1. I want to be able to document my two sons' first year and the milestones in their lives this year.
2. I want to be able to document my year, a week at a time to keep track of my goals this year.
Just those two goals.
I will still continue to do traditional scrapbooking because I love the creative exercise. I am not an artsy person but I love art and scrapbooking gives me the opportunity to do art. I've always loved doing collages since high school and scrapbooking is a creative outlet that lets me think and develop vision setting and decision making.
Vision setting? Decision making? I know. It seems a like a long shot, but when you are faced with so many products and so many techniques, it's a joy to be able to commit to a creative vision and decide which products to use in executing that vision.
Sometimes I stare at a blank 12x12 for hours not knowing what to do. I scour the web for inspiration only to realize that it is still my vision that prevails. It may not be nice and pretty as what I see on other scrappers' weblogs, but it is mine and I am proud of it.
2012 is my year -- being the Year of the Dragon and I will seize every opportunity to become better and more productive.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
