Okay, I just finished editing photos for week 9 & 10 in my project life album. This past week, on one of those hate the world days, I was thinking about giving up on the project ... this is my 2nd serious go at this project. My first attempt was doing it digitally and that stopped about week 8., turns out I really do like the physical paper and glue.

I'm on week 10, and started telling myself that I really am committed to finishing this out ... I know week ten, really I have 42 more to go, but had to think of a way to stop doubting myself. It worked, I'm still going strong, the package of goodies from 2peas arriving today gave me back the giggles over this project. I'm loving the project life videos here too. I need more project life inspiration that isn't Becky Higgins ... can you share your links????

If you look at youtube you will find a lot of inspiration, I especially like web page if you look at her videos from 2012, there a several where she show her pages, and at least one where she shows the proces

Before giving up completely, have you considered going monthly instead of weekly?
You mentioned trying digitally as well. While I'm no digital artist, I do use PSE to arrange how I might include photos into a spread, and to take notes on things I will want to journal about. This helps me know what size to print my photos, and where in the layout I'll most likely place them.
I would love to see more products that are for the monthly PL (some called it Project 12).

I am getting my photos together as well and hopefully will get them edited today or tomorrow. I hope to have PL caught up and on track the first week in April. It will take me that long to finish the first 3 months. I am new at this and constantly change my mind. I am slowly getting in the groove. My problem is that when I watch all the videos, I doubt what I am doing and then want to change to a "clean & simple" approach that is until I see someone else doing some amazing embellishments and techniques and then I want to do it that way. .

I was 50 pictures behind (from November of 2012), and I ended up spending some quality time with my album, my Selphy and some supplies. It IS doable, I promise!
I ended up printing out some quotes and using a few of the quote cards instead of something in my life every day, but it worked out.
I know you can do it.

I am behind. I am so far behind that I have no idea how far, maybe a month. I think I just did week 6or7.
I have been working on ways to organize paper.
Now I need to get back to PL. I think I let it go because I look at others PL and mine is plain and simple, but I am plain and simple, so you think that I would like it.
Yep, I am an over thinker.

I tend to keep things pretty simple with the album. But at times do embellish and add inserts. I have a 'catching up while staying current' plan where I will work on my incomplete album using left over supplies from PL 2013. Eventually I'll share those pages.

I suggest picking a few PL'ers that really grab your attention and follow them for inspiration. Be proud of the weeks you have completed!


I just started a Blog that showcases my PL album.
