Just a little shout-out to Christine! Your sweet husband, Jason, wanted to do something special for you for Christmas. Something to show you that he really pays attention to what inspires you. So he found a way to get in touch with me and … well … here we are. So hello to you! I hear you’re just the best wife & mother ever and from what I can tell, you are very, very loved. Merry Christmas, Christine!

Hope you enjoyed your weekend! Our family got a little snow fix a couple hours up the road and into the mountains a bit (Flagstaff, AZ). We may be in the 60s right now, but snow isn’t too far away.

Crew stayed pretty toasty warm with lots of layers (3 hats should do it!). Here’s the little snuggly bug snoozing in my arms while Porter & Claire were sledding and playing in an igloo with their cousins.

You guys have great questions about the Project 365 kit. I will soon be addressing those specific questions with a little Q&A. Today I wanted to further explain the concept of this project, this kit.

It’s a simple idea, really. Perhaps you have heard of this before. Maybe you’ve even done this yourself. Preserve a piece of your life every day this year. Can you imagine the end result? Really – I want you to imagine it. What an awesome representation of your existence.

A note to the scrapbooker: Project 365 is not another scrapbooking project to add to my list. Rather, this is actually replacing my traditional way of scrapbooking for the past 15 years. This is truly revolutionary for me as a scrapbook artist and family historian.

If you’re like me, there has always been so much focus on events, trips, and “favorite” pictures. But what about all the in between stuff? The everyday stuff that really is our LIFE? The pictures we take around the house “just because”? What happens to all of that? THIS IS IT. This is how we show a truer representation of our life … and, of course, the “big” stuff too!

A note to the non-scrapbooker: I can’t think of a better way for you to get a scrapbook without actually scrapbooking! Are you excited!? Do you get it? You literally are slipping things into page protectors. That’s it! Could it be any easier?

This is fantastic for anyone – male or female, adult or child, single or married. Never touched scrapooking in your life before? No problem. No skills needed. Seriously. Oh, except the ability to slip things into page protectors. Can you handle that?

Back to everyone: I tried this concept of taking a picture every day last year. After being frustrated with not being able to find the perfect way to store and display my photos, I knew this would be the next kit I wanted to develop! The Project 365 kit is custom to highlighting a week at a time for a full year.

Getting involved in this project will make you even more aware of your blessings, your priorities, and your surroundings. Don’t think you do anything worthy of photographing? Think again. What you think is mundane and ordinary is actually a collection of very cool & unique factors of your life. Not someone else. YOU.

Still think you’re life isn’t worth recording? Then let this project be the motivating factor to get out there and do something! Go for a walk (with your camera). Host a dinner party. Fly a kite. Try a new restaurant. Re-decorate a room.

Like I said, this is revolutionizing the way I scrapbook and already feel so liberated with this new approach to preserving and recording my family’s life. Are you with me?

Taking some of our favorite fudge to a few friends & neighbors and I’m thinking I need to do this FAST before I dig in and eat it all myself. Love this stuff (you can find the recipe here).

Speaking of gifts, some of you have mentioned that you want to give the gift of Project 365 this holiday season. GREAT idea! So here’s the deal: Since it doesn’t actually go on sale until Jan. 1 (no pre-orders, sorry) … here is a beauty shot of the whole kit. Print this out, wrap it up, and put it under the tree or hand it to a loved one. This is great for scrapbookers OR non-scrapbookers who wish they scrapbooked. : )

The cost of this priceless gift? Under $40. Now, that’s merry.

Oh, and I know you’re wondering how you start this album with the New Year when you won’t have the kit yet. No worries. I’ll be back in touch to tell you how.
