If you are on my blog for the first time and reading this entry, I'm sure you are searching about Project Life. And this may not be a tutorial on how I make mine (coz as you see, it's also my 1st year on PL), I will give you websites of some of the ladies who have inspired me to capture life as it comes, and appreciate life as a whole. And yes, while taking pictures capture the moment, wouldn't it be nice to have an album of these photos that you can look at years from now, and not just store those memories on your hard drives or social networking sites that might eventually crash or close.
Anyhoo, I have been searching and researching on project life since 2012 but could not convince myself to start one. I was afraid of committing to the project and might end up giving up on it and wasting so much money. But looking at the images on google and instagram, I am made to realize that project life is so easy, just don't stress on that "photo-a-day" concept.
Welcoming 2013, it dawn on me that a lot will change this year so I told myself I need to document this year, a year of change. So again, I "studied" project life. I searched for blogs that covered project life and I'd like to share it with you as I know it will inspire you the way they have inspired me to join the circle of project lifers.
1. Becky Higgins - the maker/designer/founder of project life
2. Ali Edwards - mostly does project 365 (documenting everyday life) - photo-a-day approach
3. Amy Tangerine - though she has her own line of scrapbook/daybook/smashbook products, still does project life like any other crafters who wish to try new things and make new ways of documenting life
4. Lisa Truesdell - an Instructor and a designer at twopeasinabucket.com website. I highly recommend reading her 2012 Captured Class at twopeas. I read her 12-month lesson on Project Life and it has helped me do mine smoothly.
I also watch random flip thru videos on youtube just so I have an idea of how other crafter approach project life.
Hope I have somehow helped you decide if Project Life is for you.
PS: If you think being single with no kids, having a daily routine and doesn't go out is boring and not worth documenting? Think again, I am on 5th week on PL and so far, I have been filling in the pockets pretty well. :)
Here's the cover page/1st page of my 2013 PL :)
