Project Life Addiction Alert

This weeks craft obsession is for Project Life - I think it may actually change my life! I have started to get really anxious about the volume of photographs we have accumulated over the years digitally but haven't actually done anything with. I am also getting really anxious about the number of memories relating to the little things that happen in life which I now struggle to recall. They are there on the tip of my tongue I just can't roll them off the way I used to. So I eventually got round to sending some digital pics to an on-line printer (254 to be exact) and have started to buy the amazing project life stuff. Now this I think has serious addictiveness written all over it - so if you are a reformed or in rehab craft addict and haven't been introduced to PL (see I'm using blinking acronyms like a Pro already) then please look away now or alternatively have your "sponsor" on speed dial, I don't want the guilt of girlies falling off the wagon and smoking out their credit cards on my shoulders no thank you - I have my own bed to lie in on that front. Disclaimer over onto the hard stuff.


Looking at pictures of my boys + very cute/pretty paper stuff + stationeryesque style items + requirement for lots of boxes/storage = hooked! I have purchased to date the Kraft core kit, a 12 x 12 album and page protectors in design A, C and F, a Tim Holtz tiny attacher (ridiculously cute - my husband wants me committed for reacting to miniature staples as if they were in fact a new born child), vintage map style "thickers", Amy Tangerine letter stickers and lots of Dear Lizzy paper goodness - stop for breath- lots of wood veneers from Freckled Fawn - clouds, arrows, quotes, paperclips in the shape of arrows and airplanes, roller glue stuff and a glue stick with a sponge on the end for pics, and that's all really :) that feels good to get off my chest! if you are not familiar with PL please check out the gorgeous Becky Higgins for more information there are also gazillions of people out there documenting their everyday lives using this system. It is ideal for beginners venturing into the world of memory keeping with flair and it really does bring your pictures and memories to life. I love it.

Check out my first few attempts and let me know what you think my lovelies and have a great week making memories xxx
