Happy New Year!

Hiiiiiiiii, it's me again. Your friendly oh so scatterbrained blogger friend. But it's a New Year, we all survived 2012 and the end of the world and lived to tell the tale! My last month has been full of working. And more working. And more working. I've been working like crazy to get through the holiday season alive, AND because I'm saving money for a very exciting life changing event. I'll let you in on that little secret soon though! :)

Now if you've been reading my blog ever you've probably seen my write about "Project Life." Project Life is basically the coolest way of scrapbooking your life.. without actually scrapbooking. And it's all started by a different badass named Becky Higgins. Now I'm calling this project of mine project life, but I'm actually using knock off supplies because it was super difficult for me to get Becky Higgins' products in Canada.

The basic premise of project life is putting photos, notes, and other memories in photo sleeves, and eliminating all of the complicated time consuming nonsense of trying to compose a full scrapbook page. It's fun, it's easy, it's a way of preserving memories.

This is my very first project life page. My 2013 New Years Resolutions. I'm using a 12"x12" binder with multiple photo sleeves.

Along the side I put one of my favourite quotes from Ms. Oprah Winfrey (who by the way *unpopular opinion* should really put someone else on the cover of her magazine. I mean it's already named after you!). It says "Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right!"

At the bottom of the page I cut out ugly stars from the band of a party hat from New Years Eve and wrote 2013 inside of them to add a little bit of sparkle, because what's NYE without a little bling!!

At the very top I put together a bunch of my favorite pictures of the night!

I love this project. I am having soo much fun already thinking about what I'm going to do next week. I'm going to post my new project life pages every Wednesday hopefully for the rest of the year!!

Life's Little Wisdoms

One of my biggest insecurities is people staring at me. Which doesn't make sense, at all. I love being the center of attention, I love public speaking, preforming, and generally capturing the attention of everyone around me.

Which is exactly why I need a blog - I talk too much!

But I read this quote, and it's completely true. No matter what I wear, what I do people are going to stare. They'll stare for me being too quiet, too loud, or too proud. Why not give them something to look at! Besides, if someone cares that much about how I look, they really don't matter, do they?
