Is it possible to Project Life if you are single and have no children? (January Project Life)

I emphatically exclaim "yes!"  Although it appears as if moms and their progeny have cornered the market on everything Project Life, the single chics whose Instagram feeds are filled with pictures of food and pets have also been able to partake.

I am the single girl with the Instagram feed filled with photos of food and my puggy.  It's been hard to find inspiration from blogs because most of them focus on children and all of the activities that reinforce the bonds between parent and child.  That is not my story, but I do have a story to tell about the events and people that are a part of my life.

I love Project Life because it allows me to document life through pictures and tell the stories that accompany each picture.  Its is virtually impossible to recall the complete story including all of the smallest details.  My Project Life albums allow me to recall all of the tiniest details, even the ones that may seem insignificant but are a critical component of the story.  The greatest part is being able to look through the albums and read what I was thinking or feeling when the picture was taken.  This is significant because you can't do that when your pictures remain one of thousands in you cell phone.  The physical product heightens the senses and brings you back to that place and time.

I am a staunch advocate of the Project Life experience and wish more people around me took part in the process.

Thanks,

Eve

What did I see when I looked down at my feet?

Ordinarily I would think taking a picture of my feet was a bit odd, but today I saw something very different.   I love to be barefoot, indoors, outdoors, on grass, on concrete, and even driving.  Today I looked at my feet and wondered where my feet would take me next.  In other words, paying close attention to my feet forced me to take a hard look at my own journey and the direction I was headed (or more importantly - hoping to head).  It's been on my mind all dang day and if I could choose the ideal location for my feet to head into, it would be a new career path where I would be able to use my crafty talents.  My feet have literally and figuratively pushed me to change course in a life that was otherwise static.

On the down side...being barefoot is probably what caused me to contract Lyme's Disease.  Despite the horrors of the disease, I will continue to live most of my life without shoes and will look down more often hoping my feet will guide me into a life with love, good health and fulfilling my dreams.

Christmas in July! My favorite time of the year.

I think I love Christmas in July more than Christmas in December.  Perhaps the reason is for the longer vacation time in July.  I don't really get to fully appreciate Christmas during December because I am working right up until about two days before Christmas Day.  I get butterflies when I see the Hobby Lobby aisles sparkle in red and green...and can we talk about the assortment of ornaments.  If I could put up a Christmas tree today I totally would.

So, to get into the Christmas spirit (without having to put up a tree) I decided to film my first scrapbook layout process video and while I was add it, use up the Graphic 45 paper I have been hoarding.  The camera setup process was tedious, compounded by the fact the sales person at Best Buy sold me an incompatible SD disc for my camera.  I sill feel there is too much empty paper on the left of the layout.  I think if I can somehow come across red sequins I can spread it about to eliminate the empty space.

I will spend the next couple of days enjoying Hallmark's Christmas in July movies (although I have seen most of the movies already).  The holiday feeling never gets old and I need more of these happy feelings to fill my days.   

Thanks for taking the time to read my post,
