Happy New Year
Tags:
I wanted to take a quick minute today to wish you all a Happy New Year.
My wonderfully awesome crazy crew and I had fun taking this shot right around midnight on New Year's Eve. We set up the camera and grabbed some of those fun party poppers and took a couple shots with the timer. I'm so glad we did. I love these guys so much and I can't imagine a better photo to complete 2015.
I'm in the process of organizing a One Little Word® list to share with you this week taken from this post. I'm hoping that Liz Lamoreux will read the list of words again for us as she has the last few years so I'm waiting to hear back from her. The classroom and Facebook group for One Little Word® are buzzing and so fun to begin the year together with our words.
Today I'm in the office cleaning up and getting excited to have Katie back here tomorrow. She'll be working here at my house a couple of days a week and then working from her own house on the other days.
Today I'm also printing photos for Project Life® because that's what I feel most excited about right now. I'm working on getting photos into my 2015 albums and starting my 2016 album and thinking through my approach. I'm also getting ready to launch my new Storytelling With Project Life® (used with permission) workshop - look for more details on that later this week. The workshop will begin later this month and will run for 4 weeks and be similar in scope to my Storytelling With December Daily® workshop: a look back at my past albums, lessons learned, thoughts on the process, and specific storytelling ideas.
Katie & Peter & Graham & Aaron and I are also getting ready to head to CHA this coming weekend (the big Craft & Hobby Trade Show). If you are going make sure to come by the Studio Calico booth - I'll be there on Sunday. Looking forward to seeing so many friends again and meeting new ones.
I wish you all the best this year.

Still trying to decide on 12 X 12 or 6x8 for PL this year. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by choices in kit for the small cards.
Ali, have you decided what size album you're doing for PL 2016 yet?

I'm sticking with 12x12. As I've gone through and printed photos for 2015 I still just love the size - it's the right fit for the amount of photos I take.
Are you talking about the cards from the "official" PL kits? I feel that way too - Katie and I split them up to make the quantity less (that said we also include products from other smaller kits like my Story Kits too). Maybe going through and removing the ones you know you won't use would be helpful to you?
Definitely the kits. I too want to include some from my studio calico and your story kits. I feel overwhelmed as to how to approach that. I tried getting rid of the cards I definitely didn't like in the PL kit, but still have too many.

So glad to hear that you are doing a story telling with project life class! After working through your Story Telling with December Daily, I decided to record a story and have a picture for each day this year. I am being flexible about the photos -- they don't have to match the story or even be made on the exact day. I am using the Project Life app on my phone at this time. I may or may not get it printed -- haven't decided yet. But, just having all those little stories that I can put together in scrapbook pages or print as a project life book is terrific. In fact, just thinking about a story for each day helps me to appreciate my day as it moves along.

HI Ali! Happy New Year!
Speaking to Project Life ... would love to see more of your weekly PL layouts on your blog, as you did with your DD posts. You always share such inspiration and fun! :)
