This week’s Project Life covers the week of October 8-14.
One thing I love about Project Life is that each week is a new, fresh, canvas. Your layout can be anything you want it to be –detailed, intricate, or simple, and to the point. You can make it fit your life, and your schedule, week-by-week.
This happens to be one of those week’s for me. I had slightly fewer photos and much less time to devote to putting the details into the layout. And you know what? I love it just the same.
This week there was a huge focus on something exciting happening with my family– a book is being released (
available today actually!) titled “
Resolve“, and it’s about my grandfather’s WW2 story. This particular week was when the pre-release copies were sent to my family. It was such a surreal, powerful moment to hold that book in my hands. My grandfather was such a documenter. He believed everyone’s story had importance, and he took great care in documenting and sharing his own life story. And now, thirty years after his death, his story is being published in book format.
Never underestimate the power of your story. I know if he was here today he would love this amazing concept of Project Life. 🙂
I kept it simple this week, focusing on the book, and some promotional pieces that went along with it. And I chose simple photos and stories that stirred my heart.
Because that is what it’s all about, isn’t it?
