more documentation in 2011?

IMG_9933

I've been thinking a lot the past couple days about doing some sort of daily/near daily personal album in 2011. Right now, it looks like Paul will be deployed for most of the second half of the year which means there will be a lot of just me time. And perhaps an over-share, but we are getting closer to starting a family, so 2011 may be the last full year that we are little-one-less. It could very well be my last year where I am just me, not yet a mom.

And totally not life changing, but I've got a random list of goals that need to be tracked.

So I've been thinking of a good method to share photos and also journaling. To keep stuff but not too much of it. I want something bigger than my usual 4x6 but definitely not a full size scrapbook. It can't be too clean and simple that I get bored, but it can't be too over the top decorated that it's hard to keep up with. Project Life, which I have been hearing a lot about, looks cool, but I know I want to make the book myself.

Lots and lots of thinking and so far nothing feels right. But I'll keep you posted.

EDIT : Thanks so much for your ideas and suggestions. I am getting closer to a plan! I hope to make a few sample pages and share early next week.

Photo is in front of an awesome wall in Ventura. We pulled over when we drove by, I ran across the street and Paul snapped the picture. Me on January 1, 2011. I hope to get a lot more shots like this (secret goal : 100) during the year.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in San Diego, California with my husband and our two young daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In 2015 I launched GET TO WORK BOOK®, a daily planner + goal-setting journal. In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. In 2021, I am sharing again as we prepare to move back home to Northern California and renovate our dream cottage. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]gettoworkbook.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.
