Project Life | Week Fifty-One

Love reading your blog and project life posts, so inspiring. Thank you
Hana, England

This was a great week of pics, all the sweet memories right here. Love how you capture so much of your kids lives in this album. It's been a joy to read this each week all year and YOU SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF YOURSELF. This is my first year keeping up so well and I'm proud and happy to do it again next year. Looking forward to another year of your project life posts.

Happy New Year to you and your family. May it be filled with goodness, peace, love, UPLIFTING spirits.

prayers and hugs for you,
dawn

I have to say I don't know how you do ALL you do...you should be super proud keeping up with that. I have not...and I am not very happy with myself...enough that I will not be buying new version ( plus I dont like how she did not keep it all contained in a kit:) Much better that way I think...SO I have the pictures. OMG pictures everywhere, simply did not take the time. BUT I have so enjoyed seeing yours along the way. I can always finish mine someday. Thanks Ali...Happy New Years!

Ali-I have loved seeing your album every week. Did you print all your Project Life pictures on your personal printer? I just could not find a rhythm for staying caught up and part was due to printing pictures...picking them up...etc. Happy 2012 Ali! Thank you for such inspiring posts!

The Descendants was fantastic! Make sure to see it!

You should be proud Ali! Your album is amazing and so inspiring. Can't wait to so it myself and follow along in 2012. Happy New Year!

great job!!! i am inspired to try and keep up next year!

Completely resonate with you and your sense of pride keeping up with this album all year. We have it out and the family must look at it everyday. Everyone simply lingers over it. I love that. And like you some times the journaling is long. Other times I am good to get a few bullet points on the week in place. But it is a gift to me and my family as the year closes and I am eager to begin anew.

I love seeing your Project Life and the simplified format. I am going to start one in 2012 and just hope I can keep it up.

I love seeing your Projest Life spreads. Gives me lots of ideas and encouragement. This is the second year I have done PL. I even gave my sister a "kit" for Christmas becasue she was saying how overwhelmed she felt about keeping up with "the now." I hope you will continue to share your spreads next year. Happy New Year and may peace and many blessings come your way! :)

Love your updates, Ali! Thank you so much for sharing each week. Do you plan on doing a PL for 2012? Happy new year!!

You have a reason to be proud. It's been great to follow along with you each week. I too hope that you will do this again in 2012. I bought the box and the page protectors. I'm looking forward to trying to keep it up this year. My life is way less exciting than yours as I am single with no children. But I think I can keep it up weekly if I really try. have a wonderful New Year's weekend and God bless you wonderfully in 2012.

Congrats Ali on getting this completed!! yah - huge huge huge. I so want to do this, but know I can't commit to it at this point, but someday hope to.

I am wishing you a wonderful new year filled with health, happiness, love and laughter.
God Bless

Ive never cried so much in a movie as I did in the descendants. Great movie, just bring some Kleenex.

love this project and all the other albumns this year. looking forward to more next year too.

Ali - your enthusiasm for PLife is a big part of what has kept me excited about it. . . sort of contagious enthusiasm, I think. I'm excited to spend the 31st getting all caught up (a few months behind, but I have all the stuff saved, just need to get it in the album) and feeling proud I stuck with it. It's an amazing project on so many levels. Thanks to you and Becky for keeping it real, making it fun and keeping so many motivated.

The Descendants - definitely go see it. I got to see a pre-screen before it was released at the Walker Art Center in Mpls. I know the producer, Jim Burke, he's a U of MN alumnus I've had the pleasure of working with over the last few years. Super, super cool, down-to-earth guy. He's only interested in producing films that show the complexities of human stories. We're all crossing our fingers that it scores an Oscar for best film or screenplay. It's a rich, layered piece. You'll enjoy it.

I'm up-to-date with my 3rd year of PL with only 2 slots left in the album -- one for today and one for tomorrow! It's been a rough year in many ways but flipping back through the weeks make it seem less traumatic. There were lots of happy faces and events. And so much color! Glad I kept up. Happy New Beginnings to you Ali. Again thanks for leading us through this process. We so appreciate it.

I think you deserve a HUGE pat on the back......not only for keeping up with your Project Life, but for the grace you have shown in your personal life. Hope you have a safe and happy NEW YEAR and that everyone welcomes 2012 with ARMS WIDE OPEN!!!

Kudos to you Ali! Love that you open up your life to share your stories & inspiration with us :)

I so wish I had stayed current on Project Life. I'm desperately trying to finish printing photos (currently on August 7). I resolve to stay current on 2012!
HNY!
