Welcome to our website kick-off party! We are celebrating our new site all week long– to see the schedule and participate in all the events we have planned for you, please click here. There’s lots to do and some awesome prizes to win! Plus, it all leads up to our next product release, just in time for summer!
This week’s Project Life covers the week of May 7-13.
There were three major events that occurred this week: my grandma’s 85th Birthday, Mother’s Day, and the continued renovations at our new (older) house.
I decided that for the majority, I would focus on these three events in this week’s spread. There were a few other events that happened this week, quotes, drawings, etc that I decided to include, and there were even some events and photos I barely added at all.
For instance, my friends and I took our daughters in their ballet clothes to a wildflower field for some photos. I added a very small photo of this in my spread in order to document it happened. By far, this was the event I had the MOST photos of from this week, however I didn’t feel it told the story of our week. It represents a time in my daughter’s life, and I feel these photos would be best displayed in a layout. There is a deeper story behind the photos– the routine of our Thursday ballet class, the relationship built, the new love for ballet and tap. Keep in mind, it’s okay to leave some photos out of Project Life completely and it’s okay to reserve photos for a layout.
Since it was Mother’s Day I added art work from both of my children– I just love that Project Life is a wonderful place to display these treasured pieces of their childhood.
