Good Intention Gone Ashtray

I have the best intention to work on my Project Life ever since the beginning of this year. I bought two kits around November 2012, the Clementine Edition and Baby Edition For Her. It was almost the end of one year period and I just gave birth to my first baby daughter. I dedicated the Clementine Edition to 2013 memory keeping and the Baby Edition, well, for the baby. 

I remember how excited I was to begin working on Project Life Baby Edition.The first time I print all the photos I wanted to include in my baby's Project Life, I went overboard since I print too many and wasted most of the photo pockets for similar images of Baby No. 1. Before her first birthday, the binder was becoming too full and I was afraid that I may run out of the photo pockets. We cannot find those products here so if I need to have them imported, it will take too much time and too much money just for additional pages. Besides, although the binder can take more than 60 photo pocket pages, it becomes too bulky and quite difficult to open.

So I was working on two Project Life. Very ambitious, huh? Guess what, I did not complete any. What is worse is I can only reached the first 3 weeks.

As you can see, I only have a couple of pictures taken without any significant journal. I can only capture the left page of the spread since my spirit of doing Project Life documenting and journaling is typically last on Monday to Tuesday. Afterwards, I was caught up with whatever it is that was going on in that week.

An Amy Tan collection for the title. I used all available fonts as week title, it last until week 10

Looking back, I feel quite sorry, like that I let time pass me by, that I do not take the time to look into our lives and be thankful for whatever it is that is happening. I admire those who diligently and persistently working on their projects especially ones who decided to approach the a-picture-a-day system. Kudos to you guys, you have my utmost respect.

So in the beginning of this new year, I will of course try again to complete my Project Life. And Ithis time it is getting very ambitious. There are 3 binders I wish to complete:
1. Project Life 2014
2. Project Life Baby No. 1 (I need to complete Month #9 to #12)
3. Project Life Baby No. 2  

I wish you all a happy new year, let us celebrate a new beginning.
