Well I made it through the week–and have come away with so many great photos and stories that I can’t wait to scrapbook!

Week in the Life 2012: Day 4

Can you believe it’s Day 4 already?  We’re more than half-way there!

Making a One-Sentence Journal

Making a One-Sentence Journal

Ever since I started scrapbooking I’ve wanted to keep a daily journal but every time I tried–it never really stuck.  I’d rarely remember to write in it and when I did it always felt forced and as result yielded shallow and mundane thoughts. I first heard about the idea of a one-sentence journal while reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin over [...]

Day 2 of a “Clean Sink”

Day 2 of a “Clean Sink”
