I'm definitely going to get back in this this year!! I think SIL got me an Amazon gift card for Christmas, so I'm going to order it. Going to get started on my pictures tomorrow to get it going!

My DH is doing a 365 project, he posts it on his blog daily. I didn't know if anyone would be interested, but here is a link. He started on his 35th birthday though, not January 1.

He sometimes struggles with what to take a picture of, and he works 24-hour shifts every three days, so those days can be really hard.

Thanks for looking,
Steph

For anyone using the Project Life kit, I saw that the vertical page protectors, extra journalling cards, and a different horizontal page protector are now available to order separately. I'm thinking of getting the vertical ones so I have some variety.

So far it's Jan 3 and I've taken 3 photos! Now to keep it going.

I'd never heard of Project 12 (read all the threads on Project 365 but just couldn't get into it), but I have been doing a yearly book since 2000 and in 2009 I decided to do only 1-2 pages per month, so that sounds like the Project 12 idea. I make books for big events, like vacations, but I really love doing a yearly book. Cutting it down to just a couple pages per month has been challenging, but I've really enjoyed it. Previously my yearly books were jam-packed and for a couple years I had 2 CM 12x12 books for one year. Cutting down makes the pictures and events more meaningful to me. I haven't finished 2009 yet (still have December '09 to finish up) and haven't even started 2010 yet so I can't think of 2011 - but I will soon!

Glad I took the time to pop over here and see how everyone was doing. I'm contemplating doing a "Project Life" type book for this year. I also did the daily photo "Project 365" and while I agree with others that some days the photo was a chore, it is FABULOUS to look back on!!

For this year I am going to do an 8.5 x 11 2 page LO for each month.... I'm going to do it as photo collages in Picasa.... just pick the photos and let the collage setting do the rest! I haven't decided yet how I'm going to do the journaling. I might type it as a "photo" and include it in the collage.... or I might do a follow-up LO for each month to include the journaling. I really need to step up the photo-taking for January! I kind of forgot about this when the beginning of the year rolled around, and of course, lately I've forgotten to grab the camera daily! But DS's b.day is in January, so I know I will have some pictures!!

I'd love to hear how others are doing with this! I believe we had a daily thread for the Project 365 in 2009 to keep us going! (Jill, you hosted that FABULOUSLY!! Belated thank you!) Maybe we should have a monthly thread for this year?? In fact.... I think I'll start one now!! Anyone want to join me?? ................P
