I am a picture taker. Always have been, but now that I have two extremely cute models to take pictures of it has become a bit of an obsession. I used to scrapbook and I loved it but there is just no way I am going to be able to find the time to scrapbook the way I want now so I decided that I needed to find an alternative for at least a little while. I decided that I wanted to do Becky Higgins Project Life, it is simple, fast and it incorporates pictures, writing and pretty paper! I bought a kit so I can do a paper version since I so love the papercrafting end of scrapbooking and I can still fulfill that crafting need I get once and awhile. But I am also doing the digital Project Life on Shutterfly. Seriously AWESOME. I am doing this so that I can print out two book at the end of the year one for each of the boys. Matts mom made individual photo albums for each of her children packed with pictures, programs and all sorts of memorabilia that she gave to them each when they got married. We love going through those books and laughing and I want to have something similar for my boys. The nice thing about the Shutterfly version is that it is already all laid out and all I have to do is put in my 7 pictures for the week and write a little blip about each one. So far two weeks in I am loving it and think that anyone looking for a way to document their lives this is a great way. I wish I would have done this every year we have been married. I thought I would share our weekly pictures here as well just for fun and for our family that is not close.

FUN! I did project life (the paper one) last year. It’s SO GREAT. I actually must confess that I made it to about September…but I have everything ready to go in it and finish. I think the digital one would be a better fit for me now. We’ll see
