It’s here. The end of our big birthday week. (sniff sniff)

Thank you sooooo much for celebrating with us as you shared the Project Life love, did some shopping, supported us with your kind words, downloaded our freebie gifts, “liked” or “re-tweeted” or “pinned” what you saw around social media, and showered us with birthday wishes + testimonials + genuine gratitude. You have reminded us over + over this week why we do this. I feel grateful every day for a lot of things in my life. Mostly my family and my faith and my health. This little gig we’re doing is also a very special part of our life. You are a big part of our life.

To wrap up the birthday week we will announce lots of lucky of winners – but first – some news, my friends.

{ don’t fall off your chair }

I have joined Pinterest. You can see my pinboards HERE.

True story. I KNOW, right?? I resisted for soooo long. I really held out. I stayed strong. I stayed away. I made a very intentional choice to not “go there” because it’s so up my ally (images and ideas + organizing them all), that I feared I would be “sucked in” and there just isn’t time for more stuff in my life right now. You know? However … I knew all along that it would probably be a matter of time before it just made sense to bite the bullet and do it.

So I did it.

I’m there. I’m on Pinterest. I’m pinning. At least I’m trying to figure out how it all works. There’s not much yet, mind you. I’m JUST beginning – today, in fact – and you’ll see there are just a few things in there. But I will build upon this and hope that you enjoy this avenue of continued inspiration. Those of you have recommended I do this: You will be the excited ones about this news. And then … there will be a few of you who will undoubtedly say – What’s Pinterest?  : )

Project life allowed me to tell the little, everyday stories that never would have made it into my traditional family album! -Amy Beatty

I was feeling so guilty that I had fallen behind on scrapbooking the events in my new daughter’s life. I felt overwhelmed and sad that I didn’t have the energy or desire to document some of her firsts. Then, my scrapbooking life changed when a friend directed me to your website. I was in love at first sight and ordered a kit to document my daughter’s birth story. Now, I have a personal baby book done “Project Life style” that I was able to complete quickly. I know my daughter will cherish it forever. -Jenny

Project Life has changed the way that I approach my scrapbooking. I was always a traditional paper and glue scrapbooker … but after completing my very first entirely digital Project Life book… I must say that I am hooked. This is easy, fast, and beautiful. This works for me and my busy lifestyle. I am still preserving my memories via stories and pictures. My only wish is that I had Project Life years ago when I had my first child! -Rosa Nissenbaum

Happy Weekend!
