hello! Merry Christmas! I know, I know, it's too early...but is it? Only 10 more weeks! So, I'm trying to get a head start on December Daily. If you're not familiar with it, check out Ali Edwards website or just look it up on Pinterest. Basically, it is a memory keeping project that goes day by day to document the holiday season. In studying it, it seems like a lot of people go about it free form, no real theme in mind, but since I need a little more structure than that, I am using a guideline of prompts for each day. I am also trying to decide what format I want to use. I was thinking I want it to look more like a physical album, so I may try to use Pixelab for some of it. I also would like to think that I can have most of my pages done and then I can just plug in the photos, but sometimes I just like to work in the moment and go with the flow. So, we will see! I think I will be purchasing this kit to use, in addition to some freebies I have found on Pinterest. Good ole' Pinterest, always there when I need something, lol. Isn't it preeeetty??? Last, but not least, I want to share with you my December Daily list. Hopefully you find some inspiration here, and let me know - how are you planning on documenting your holidays? Peace,
Anne

hello! Ok, so I've been kind of quiet here lately. I sort of dislike the term "season of life", but let me tell you, I've been having a season lately. So, I wanted to give you an update and just give you a preview of some things I have coming up :)
Recently, I realized that I needed help. You know, after you have a baby, life changes in a big way, hormones go out of whack, and really, you just do what you can to get by. About a month before L was born, we bought a house and got engaged. Needless to say, it was a lot. And though I didn't think much of it at the time, it was a big adjustment for us. So, it finally caught up with me and I realized I was experiencing a mild case of post-partum depression. For me, it manifests itself in anxiety and anger. Not good for a new mom. I mean, I know it's just natural to be anxious for your child and worry about them, but it was affecting my daily mood and reactions to people and situations. I can say that I am feeling much better now that I have sought help and I am really enjoying myself and motherhood a lot more. With that said, I got a little behind on my blog. Not much, but more than I would like. So this is what I am planning in the next few weeks: 1. The second Ali Edwards "Day in the Life" project. I completed this in September I think. Honestly, time is flying so fast, I can't remember, but I will be featuring that soon. 2. I will continue sharing my Project 52 album. 3. I'm hoping to have some more tutorials for you. Some Project Life related, and some Pixelab. I started using Pixelab a few months ago and I'm loving it! So I would like to share that with you. 4. I am also gearing up for Ali Edwards December Daily. I have never done this project, but I am looking forward to trying it out and hoping it doesn't add too much stress to my holiday season! I think that is all for now! Thanks for coming by and hopefully I will have some inspiration for you soon! Peace, Anne |
