birthday week: friday

Friday, October 5th, 2012

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?  : )

{ 3 random testimonials }

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!

My dear friend Lydia sent us a couple of these cups and I’m in love.

It’s our new favorite cup for sure and I’m even finding that I’m drinking more water … because of the cup. I’m serious. It’s a hard plastic with a twist-on lid and a straw that doesn’t fall out (or otherwise come about by a certain two-year-old in our home). The Cool Gear website has a long list of stores that carry their products so check that out. I did notice a similar product at Target the other day.

This Miracle Heel Stick has been one of my favorite Summer products. I found it at WalMart, but it’s also on Amazon.

……….

Now — How about an update on upcoming products? I am pleased to announce that we chose TWO winners of the 2012 Project Life design contest! They were each chosen for their style (of course) and skill and we are so thrilled about what they’re going to add to the Project Life line-up. They have both hit the ground running and are working hard on the new 2012 designs as you read this.

A very special thank-you to each one of you who submitted designs. I am very grateful for the interest and submissions. It was so much fun to see such a variety of styles and ideas.

Without further adieu I present to you our two guest designers for Project Life 2012. They’ll tell you a little about themselves so you can get to know them.

……….

{ say hello to Lili Niclass }

I’m 32 years old, I’ve been married for 8 years now and we don’t have children yet. We live in Japan with our sweet and funny cat, Kiko-chan. We moved here from Switzerland 2 years ago because of my husband’s job. He is Swiss and I’m Brazilian, and we used to live in Switzerland before.

I got a college degree in communication back in Brazil, then another one in French when I moved to Switzerland. I always wanted a creative and artistic job but it took me some time to find exactly what I liked. I came across digital scrapbooking in 2006 and opened my first online shop in 2007 with the help of a wonderful designer, Nancie Rowe Janitz. Since then I’ve been in love with the scrapbooking world and never stopped designing. Today I also design paper products for Fancy Pants Designs. I have a new collection coming out next month.

I have a facebook page and a digital scrapbooking store where I mostly sell digital alphabets.

……….

{ say hello to Kim Gayton }

I live in Charleston, West Virginia. I was a 70s baby and am still an 80s girl. I have been married for almost 8 years (to my elementary school crush) and we have a beautiful 3 1/2 year old boy — who is my greatest joy, my miracle baby and my saving grace.

I’m a full-time creative director for a small advertising/political consulting agency. I’ve been in advertising and marketing for 15 years starting as a creative assistant to the advertising team at a local department store chain. Some of my design work has garnered local and national design awards for both advertising and political work. I’ve been creating, crafting, painting and drawing all my life. I strive everyday to share that creative spark with my son, who has a natural talent for drawing already. Often overheard in our house, “Mommy, let’s art today.”

I’ve been a Project Life fan(atic) since January. My mother was our family’s historian, so to speak, and a hardcore paper scrapper. I loved looking at her work and shopping for supplies with her. I attempted paper scrapping when my son was born — with the best intentions. BUT it became so overwhelming, I’d just file everything away. Now that my mom is gone, I’ve started to take on that storyteller role for our family. It’s one way I can honor her memory in a way she would love.

……….

Now that you know who the 2012 Project Life guest designers are, I’m sure you’d like to know more!

DESIGNS. I know you’re curious. Well … the sneak peeks are coming. But not quite yet. It’s still a little early for that as we’re in the beginning stages of designing the 2 new Project Life looks. I am working closely with the graphic designers to ensure that we will have two more beautiful choices to offer.

OPTIONS. In case you missed the announcement, we are reprinting more of Amber and Turquoise Editions, so this means FOUR options of Project Life. Sweet. Those are being made now and I’ll give you an update on when we are expecting those … as soon as I know.

TIMING. Fall 2011. We’re still aiming to have the new Project Life products available by November and we’re working hard and fast to make that happen.

OTHER PRODUCTS. We were hopeful to have some of our other products come out late Summer and as it turns out, we are spending extra time on quality control and being very picky about details that will, in the end, result in better products for you.

So the bummer is that those of you who were anticipating new items by August/September are going to have to hang on a little longer. The good news is that these products are going to ROCK. At this point, it is possible that everything is released together, at the same time, this Fall. New Project Life stuff, all the new Photo Pocket Page designs, all the school/childhood stuff … everything.

As always, I will continue to give you updates and sneak peeks as often and as early as I can. You can trust that we are working our tails off to make things happen in the best possible way for you. Thank you for wanting to know more. Thank you for chomping at the bit to see what’s coming down the pipeline. Thank you wanting to use our products to help you organize your pictures, memorabilia, and memories.

And please welcome me in congratulating Lili and Kim!

{ winners }

Okay, first of all — I have 2 winners to announce from this week’s giveaways! The winner of Laura Vanderbeek’s Photo First Aid online class is Lisa Walton in Perth Australia. The winner of Creating Keepsakes’ newest Creative Spaces special issue is Brenda in Houston, Texas. Congratulations, ladies! Lisa, email laurav@reneepearson.com and Brenda, email projectlife@beckyhiggins.com with your shipping address and I’ll give that information to CK so they can ship you a little package.

……….

{ tv segments }

This week I had a little fun on tv, thanks to the invitation by KSL’s Studio 5 producers. Watch for Monday’s post when I share more about that day. Lots of fun pictures.

First, here’s a quick little Skype conversation I had with the hosts Brooke & Darin on Tuesday to promote the live event that was coming a few days later.

And as for that live event, you can check out the whole show HERE on Studio 5′s site. If you wanted to just check out my segments …

1. panel discussion about the little things mothers do is around 13:00 to 21:00.

2. 5 things I think mothers should keep for their children is around 25:00 – 32:00.

NOTE: That part when I mention that I share a picture-of-the-day idea just about every day on Twitter? So sorry, my sweet and supportive facebook peeps. Totally didn’t mean to leave you out. I share the very same POTD ideas on both facebook + twitter. Just in case you didn’t know that. And if you’re not already following me on facebook or twitter — you should. It’s an extension of the sharing I do here on my blog.

I think the whole show is fun to watch but if your time is limited, that’s understandable. I do recommend for every mother to watch the segment by Matt, Studio 5′s relationship coach. That’s at about 36:00 – 44:00. Seriously, this guy is fun. And he reminds us of things we should hear. Really, the whole show was just great. I so appreciated the opportunity to be a part of something that honors, reveres, and celebrates motherhood.

Thank you KSL, for focusing on what really does matter most.
