January: The Recap

Date: 2010.01.22 | Category: I'm just saying | Tags:

While visiting Tendrils blog earlier this month I read that she was very excited about this new thing that I had never heard of called Project Life.

And then I immediately wanted one too.

But the problem was that I was too late to have immediate gratification of my want. Becky Higgins, the creator, was in the process of moving her Project Life inventory over to Amazon. I would have to wait.

And I’m not good at waiting.

Every single day I checked to see if Project Life was available on Amazon.

Sometimes twice.

The more that it wasn’t available, the more I convinced myself that this project was EXACTLY WHAT I NEED. I mean, who doesn’t want to just shove movie tickets into a slot that goes into a binder with a small note that says something like:

OMG, THE BEST MOVIE THAT WE SAW THIS YEAR! (So far. It’s only January 3rd.)

I’ve had visions of filling in the scrapbook with semi-daily recaps of my life, adding photographs and stickers and whatever else I can think of . Of course, I’ll be sharing the responsibility with Zoe because this project is something that has her name written all over it. She is so creative. And if she doesn’t grow up to be a doctor, or a lawyer, or a veterinarian, or an artist — she will definitely be a scrapbooker.

So, Project Life FINALLY became available this morning on Amazon, and I snatched up a great deal on Saturday delivery, which means that by sundown tomorrow Zoe and I will be recreating all of the highlights from January to put in the scrapbook.

I just hope that I’m a tiny bit better at scrapbooking than I am at waiting. Because the last time I scrapbooked was in 2001 when I planned on doing one page per month for my newborn daughter.

Um, that lasted about three months.

What new mother has time for scrapbooking??

I also have about eight years of digital photographs that I’ve never printed.

Wish me luck!
