Project Life 2015

2014 was my first full year of Project Life, and I must admit it was overwhelming at times. I’m not very relaxed when it comes to being behind. Seeing photos piling up in the PC waiting to be edited and printed, as well as knowing precious memories are fading because I’m not good a writing things down at the time, is stressful. I thought about how I can simplify 2015 to avoid some of the backlog. I haven’t really come up with many good ideas as I don’t want to ...

Gardening, Our Home

This free printable has been retired. If you would still like it, please contact me. Aside from going a little silly gathering a nice stash of Christmas supplies for my December Daily®, I also enjoy making digital cards to print out. Last year I offered a few of them on my blog for free, which ...
