EEEK!!! I'm so excited! I finished my first month of Project Life - 2013! I'm doing it differently this year - breaking it up by month, instead of by week. I've got the whole month to share with you today, so be forewarned: There are alot of photos!
Here we go...
The first spread covers January 1 - 7 (Tuesday - Monday)...

January 11 - 16...

January 22 - 27...
I am feeling like this new way of doing it is capturing a more complete story of our daily life, and I love that!

I put the entire Featuring magazine in an 8.5 x 11 page protector, and inserted it in the album. I put the label on the outside of the page protector, so the actual magazine will stay pristine!
And that's it for January - whew that was a lot! In the future, I will post each spread as I finish it. I just wanted to do January all at once, to give an idea of my process. I hope it's helpful to see.
If you are doing Project Life this year, I hope it's going well for you! I'd love to hear about any new things you are trying!
Thanks so much for visiting and for your comments! I read each one and treasure them all.

I've made a couple of guidelines for myself, to help with consistency. Since I'm not going week by week, I don't want it to get too confusing; so I am reserving the top right slot on each spread to record the dates covered by that spread. I know alot of people already do this, but I never have, so it's new for me.
I'm also including a large calendar at the beginning of each month...
I bought this calendar from Tam Laporte aka willowing, and I just love it! I can print out one month at a time, and the illustrations are so beautiful!
I'm also trying to represent each day in some way this year. I was inspired to do this by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, after reading this post.
January 7 - 10...
Another thing I'm doing that's new, is sticking to one paper collection, or kit for the month. For January I used the Oh Snap collection by Simple Stories.

I'm keeping notes from each day on my iphone, using the momento app. It's really helping with my journaling!
