New Blog

I just recently realized some of our friends are trying to access this blog. I created a new one and then blocked this one without saying anything lol. Can you tell I am new to all of this?? Our new blog (that I may someday update and begin to regularly update) is www.ourlifeinmegapixels.blogspot.com. Thanks for checking out what I have to say :)

Project Life

So I decided to take on this scrapbook project called Project Life. I first saw it on Ali Edwards Facebook page that came through my newsfeed. When I went to her blog and looked at the photos she had taken of the project and read what it was all about, I was sold.

Here is the link, just in case!

I was like a child on Christmas morning when the box arrived!! I could not wait to start documenting our lives! I really wish I would have done this when my oldest children were young too. I cannot imagine how awe stricken I would be if my Mom would have been able to do something like for her and I when I was little. I am super excited!

Ok, so the whole idea really is to document as much as YOU want. The creator of PL, Becky Higgins, lists ideas for how to use the kit. I am starting a could of weeks into January, but I from now on, am going to be using the picture of the day approach.

This idea has really got me thinking creatively about what could and should be photographed everyday. I am trying really hard to not make it all just pictures of the kids, but pictures more about our family and our family dynamic! This is just such a cool idea!

So I hope that the 4 or 5 people who read my blog , will maybe commit to trying it for just a week…though you may get hooked…and see what transpires.

Here are some of my photos:

A Decision!

I have been back on the computer and reading different blogs. I am so inpired but what I read, almost always! I would love to know how the time is found to write these amazing posts and have the photo loaded in the computer and ready to attach. I would also love to know how to "really" blog. Some of the ones I read have super cool layouts and added things to them and links...how do they do that? A computer genius, I am not!! I would love to post interesting stories and great photos and cool layout designs though.

So I have come the conclusion that I either need to dive in fully, or just forget the whole thing. I would never say that I am a perfectionist (nowhere near actually.) But when it comes to certain things I like it to all be just right...ya know?? So I will see what I can research and learn on my own and try to see if I can't just pull this all off!

Wish me luck...I will need lots and lots of it :)
