Project Life Update - 03/05/2013

I am still quite liking Project Life. I am trying to take the time to journal a bit more, and document things that are a part of my everyday life, even if they seem trivial.

The one thing I am a bit concerned about is how quickly the album is filling up. Recently, I have been trying to use flatter embellishments, but I am also considering switching to 12x12 in April (my birthday) to cut down the total number of albums that will be needed. But I'm not completely convinced yet, as I like that the smaller size allows me to have more random spreads without worrying too much about being cohesive.


left: When I started watching House of Cards, I couldn't stop. The first night, I watched 5 episodes straight. Didn't matter that they are 40 minutes each and that it took me up to about 2AM...


left: I was quite amused by the Google Hangout special effects following my boyfriend's bobblehead's face around instead of his face.
right: Usually, I don't care much for particular actors, but I'm on a bit of an Andrew Garfield kick right now. Watched "The Amazing Spiderman" (which I'll admit, isn't all that amazing), "The Social Network", and "Never Let Me Go". Out of those, I quite enjoyed "Never Let Me Go".


left: I used a Paislee Press calendar card (yikes, it's already March!) and created a stitched vellum pocket for some journaling.
right: I tried some hand-stitching after watching Amy Tan's video on Two Peas in a Bucket.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

    1. Thanks Maria, I always appreciate your comments!! Haha, yes I saw that little poster on pinterest and it made me laugh, and it's true, his hair is pretty awesome ;)

      I keep going back and forth on deciding on the size of PL, but I think I'll be sticking with the smaller format (but trying to use less bulky embellishments) because I like that I can be more random :)
