{ no. 2  |  digital project life tutorial }

If anyone would be the master at helping others to understand how to use the digital Project Life templates that are available on JessicaSprague.com, who would that be? Uh, yeah. Jessica Sprague. Well guess what? Jessica whipped up a little video tutorial out of the goodness of her heart and I think you’ll fine it really helpful. Check it out HERE.

{ no. 3  |  photo inspiration }

I put together a little collection of personal photos to share on Shutterfly, hoping to inspire others to document the everyday. You can check that out HERE.

There are a couple other related photo collections that I think are specifically inspiring to Project Lifers:

Slice of Life: Kids Were Here… by Jessica Deane

My Life in Five Photos: Everyday Moments by Ali Edwards

{ no. 4  |  clementine additions }

Lili Niclass, the fabulous and super sweet designer behind the Clementine Edition has just released a few extra Journaling Cards that coordinate and you can check them out HERE. She also has a set of 4×6 photo collages (HERE) that I think many of you will be pretty over-the-moon excited about.

{ no. 5  |  6×12 templates + tutorial }

Most of you know that Ali Edwards creates some of the best digital templates and many of them go so perfectly as an add-on to Project Life. She recently added templates specific for the 6×12 Page Protector (currently sold out but available again in a few weeks) and also shared a video tutorial for working with the layered templates. You’ll find all of that HERE.

{ project life tuesday }

We have seen awesome growth and positively fantastic sharing going on over at the official Project Life Community. So awesome! I wanted to let you know of yet another place to share and be inspired. The Mom Creative blog by Jessica Turner, will be resuming “Project Life Tuesday” today.

Says Jessica: “I started Project Life Tuesday in 2010 as a way of keeping up with my photos and encouraging others to do the same. I have found that if you are using Project Life as a Project 365, staying on top of your photos is key! By hosting this weekly link-up, myself and many others were encouraged to keep going all year.”

Each Tuesday, people are invited to blog their photos from the previous week and link their blogs posts on Jessica’s blog. She asks that you link to The Mom Creative and/or post the cute Project Life Tuesday button within their post. It is a fun way to everyone’s photos, get creative ideas, and stay accountable.

Today is the first Project Life Tuesday of 2011 over at The Mom Creative. Check it out and – should you feel inclined – link up! A huge thank-you to Jessica, who’s done an awesome job keeping many motivated about Project Life. I didn’t ask her to do any of that. She’s just a believer like me. She gets it. She uses it. She loves it. And she shares with others.

{ you have my permission }

I was deeply touched with the comments on yesterday’s post about the reminder to BREATHE. I’m so grateful that the message reached the people it needed to reach at the time they needed to hear it. I was asked about permission to print it.

Absolutely. You go right ahead.

I just took that picture on Saturday in Mesa, Arizona. It was an absolutely beautiful day. Awesome weather, yes. But more importantly our niece Kyra and her sweetheart Jason were married. It was such a happy, happy day.

Anyway — Just click HERE, right-click on the image, save it to your desktop, and feel free to print it any size you want for personal use. Or use it as your desktop image. Or share with friends. Whatever.

{ school kits }

I’m just going to be like a classified ad for just a moment, if you don’t mind. Many of you are familiar with the school kit I did a few years ago. Of course they’re sold out. I have a couple of friends who bought them, held on to them, never got around to using them, and would like to sell them … now knowing that I’m working on a new & improved school kit.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, don’t worry about it. They’re not available anymore anyway. The more important thing to note is that I’ve been working on a new school kit that will be even more simplified than the original. I don’t have anything more specific to tell you for timing other than “this year”. I know. Very vague.

Of course you know I’m an updater. If you’re up on my blog, or getting my facebook or twitter feed, you will be the first to get those product updates.

So — if you’re interested in purchasing the “old” school kit, here are a couple people you can contact. I believe they each have 3-4 kits and Marji has 2 of those “bonus” kits with more materials & components.

{ facebook likers rock }

So … holy smokes people. We hit 15,000 “likers” on facebook last night. What!?!? Thank you so much! A few of you might be sitting on the fence. Do I follow Becky on facebook? Is it worth it?

Yep. You should. Because guess what? If you get my facebook (or twitter) feed, you are not only the very first to know of any product updates and get little bits of inspiration like Project Life ideas, and POTD ideas, but I share plenty of other useful stuff un-related to my products. Cool websites & blogs & articles to check out, my latest favorite thing to use or eat or read, great products, a notice every time there’s a new blog post, random tips, and an occasional personal anecdote.

And today, there has never been a better time to like me on facebook. Because I’m giving away Project Life! Because that’s fun to do. And because I like you too. We sold out of the kits just last week but as soon as the new inventory shows up in the next couple weeks (let’s say by the end of January to be safe) … I will personally place the order for the randomly-selected winner so they’re first in line to receive their kit from this next batch.

Just get on facebook like you normally do, click on my page (Becky Higgins LLC), and you see that cute little LIKE icon? Click it. And just like magic, you like me!  : )  Then you’ll see my update about the contest pop up on your wall just like all other facebook updates that you get.

Thank you for the love.
