and here’s this week:
This week is a spread.
I decided to do a day-in-the-life a few weeks ago. So I took photos, wrote it all up and then put it in my book as a two-pager. Here it is. Nathaniel at school and with his teacher. David sharing his favorite book with the class. Nathaniel playing at home. Family photo. Playing plants vs zombies. And learning to read. An ordinary day in our life. A perfect addition to my book.
See you next week!
The Savor Project is a weekly project for 2013. You can see a detailed post on my goal and other details here.
and here’s this week:
This week is all about Home Depot and building our projects and doing some art with mommy. I loved all the photos so I didn’t want to pick and choose. Sometimes it’s just one or two stories and I am totally okay with that.
See you next week!

I am still loving the 8.5×11 size and single page format. love love love. Yet, I still haven’t found a way to fit my art but still thinking on it.

And here we go! Week One:
I talk about going to the San Francisco Zoo, Paddle boating, to the PLAY! center and building with magnets, playing with army men and seeing Life of Pi.
So far, the 8.5×11 is working great. I haven’t found a way to fit my art yet but still thinking on it.
See you next week!

In 2012, I did my own version of Project Life. I decided to use the pages to tell stories and the pockets as two-up (or one-up) mini scrappy layouts. I also included my weekly art in the pages. When I was trying to figure out my plans for 2013, I decided I no longer wanted to use the 12×12 albums and I definitely didn’t want to have to make two albums. So, I came up with the idea to use the baseball pocket pages in 8.5×11.
I already have a ton of them and so it seemed like the best plan. My plan is to use one page a week. So a spread will be two weeks. Which should mean that at the end of the year, I’ve used 27 page protectors. Which should fit into one album.
I am not sure if it’s going to work out. I am also not sure how the stories will work out. I am not sure if I will include my art or not. My plan is to make it work. To experiment and find my way.
For now, all I have is the cover page. Which is super-simple. That’s the plan this year: super-simple.
I haven’t even bought an album yet. I have one that I’d been using for my OLW, etc and will put my pages in there until I am sure I am sticking to the 8.5×11 format. Then I’ll buy one. Likely, the American Crafts Modern albums as they are what I use for my normal albums.
Here we go. Nothing super-sophisticated. Just an excuse to tell our stories. Let’s hope it works!
The Savor Project was my version of Project Life. I had an old Project 365 set left over from 2009 and decided it would be fun to do mini scrapbook pages and use it to tell our stories. I figured it would allow me to savor each of my moments that much more.
And it totally did.
As I look back on the project, here’s what I loved:
- Doing the mini-scrappy pages instead of full-pocket photos
- Telling the stories and not worrying about having enough or too much one week
- Not using any dates anywhere
- Including photos of my art
- Not worrying about all the details, and just focusing on telling the stories
- Getting to add ephemera
And here’s what I didn’t like so much:
- The 12×24 layout is really hard to photograph for my lens
- I really disliked having more than one album for the year and how bulky it got
So as I plan 2013, I know I want to continue this project because there was so much I did love about it and it feeds my scrappy soul without the larger commitment. To make up for the parts I didn’t like, I have some other plans. I don’t know if they will work but the only way I’ll know is by experimenting so here we go.
We’ll see if it works!
And here’s the last spread in my book:
here’s a closer up of the left side:
this page is about david presenting at school, nathaniel playing with daddy at school, and then election night and voting.
And here’s the right side:
Here it’s eating cupcakes, my science of mindfulness class and david’s puppets.
By then I was done with November and December will be savored through December Daily, so I closed my book with this page:
Thanksgiving photos and the boys decorating the tree.
Art along the bottom as usual.
Another great week. And there we are. Still savoring.
The Savor Project was supposed to be a weekly project for 2012. You can read about my setup here.
And here’s the next spread :
this week’s shots are extra blurry, i just couldn’t get them right for some reason.
here’s a closer up of the left side:
this page is about the hat Nathaniel likes to play with and then his being sick and then a tony they like to play with called “crazy creatures” which Nathaniel calls “crazy features.”
And here’s the right side:
Here it’s yogurtland which we visit regularly and then wreck-it-ralph which I saw with the kids while jake was out of town and my balance class for the coaching certification.
Art along the bottom as usual.
Another great week. Happy Savoring.
