i'm going to be honest - i got here by accident. i had no interest in taking on project life. i'd done little more than scan over mentions of it when it popped up in my blog reading rounds. it didn't really call to me.
and then - little things started adding up. i spent a morning sorting through old photos with my grandmother, while looking for something i needed for an assignment. wondering about the stories behind the photos - many were old enough that even my grandmother didn't know more than very basic details. i realized how much i was enjoying the details that my december daily was recording. i came across ali's post on how she wanted her family to join in on documenting the every day.
that's when it hit me : most of what i scrapbook is for ME. my thoughts, my point of view. this will be for them. for all of us.
so i ordered it. it'll come tomorrow. i've started taking photos and can't wait to catch up. i'm going to keep it simple. i'm not going to worry about keeping up with it everyday. i'm going to make it work for our lives.
i can't wait to see where that that takes me.
