Project Life

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!
