Project Life | Week Forty-Two

Welcome to Project Life | Week Forty-Two.
Still can't believe I've kept up with this through the entire year.
But seriously so happy about it.
My camera took a pretty big break this week. Just a couple photos from working on my December Daily album. Definitely feeling inspired to pull it out again this week and see what I can see. The leaves are really insanely beautiful here right now and I want to get some shots of that before it's all gone.
Candy. Mathematics. Dairy packaging. Notes about Anna's preschool Open House and how a bunch of things around here are broken.
Simon received an award at school this week for "asking for help." It's one of his IEP goals and there's always a good celebration when he asks rather than letting his frustration escalate. Go Simon!
I asked Chris to write a little bit about teaching Simon to play chess. One of my favorite moments this past week was listening to Simon name off all the chess pieces and telling me where they can and can't move. Awesome skill...now I just need to learn how to play too.
Looking forward to family arriving this weekend for the Halloween holiday. All my nieces and nephews will be here again - need to work on my costume!
Project Life is a product created by Becky Higgins. It can be anything you want it to be. The pieces of the album kit (similar to the one I’m using) are available here. If you live outside the US check Becky’s site for more information on sources. View all my posts about Project Life here.

I too am waiting (im)patiently for next year's Clementine kit! Just wanted to say thanks for posting your week's ... I get periodically uninspired/busy and seeing what others do always helps get me back to printing pictures (or taking the TO print) and getting them in my album!
Plus looking ahead to next year and thinking about what worked for me this year and what didn't, and what I might want to do differently.
Anyway .... thanks for all the inspiration!!!!

Ali, I always love your writing. Is it in the same style you had since school or have you tweaked it a little so it looks nicer in journaling? Trying to embrace my handwriting but it still looks odd to me!

Thanks Brooke - it's definitely evolved over time. Now I think faster than I write so I'm always just trying to keep up and it feels like it's getting messier.

what photo protectors do you get for your project life

I'm planning to get the "regular" ones - the same set I used this year + the multi-pack and most likely the 6x12 set too.

Ali - I look forward to your weekly PL posts. They keep me inspired to continue working in my book as well. For those of you that are waiting for Jan 1 to come to start a book - why? Start now!!! Seriously! I started the last week in Septmeber because I was excited them about the project. It's worked out beautifully and I'm really looking forward to using it during the holidays to capture all the everyday fun things that happen.

Hi Ali,
Love your Project Life album and pretty much everything else you do!!
Are you doing Project Life again next year? Will you be using any of Becky's journaling and index cards? If so, just our of curiosity, which ones?
Also, just wanted to say that, my daughter Dreidynn is the same age as Simon and she to is learning how to play chess with her dad. It's so cute to see how, through the years, there've been lot of similarities in their interests! Thanks for sharing your family with all of us :)
Can't wait to see your DD pages!

I have been loving seeing what you have done with it.
On a totally diffrent note, have you ever visited the bravegirls website? It is so inspirational and really seems to always speak to me personally. I think you would really love it :)

Hi Ali,
You seem happier :) makes me happy :)
I've always been excited to try doing PL. This year was very challenging, but I'm hoping I can try next year.
I may have just missed it, but is there a link to where I can buy it?
Thanks and so looking forward to seeing your DD's!
