Moving right along.
A few people mentioned that they wanted to see updates to this album. I promise, there will be monthly updates. This is the best documentation plan I have had in a loooong time and I will be blogging the previous month during the first week of each new month. I think this album is working because it's so simple. Towards the end of each month, I go through my photos (in iPhoto) and pick ones to print. Seeing all the images again reminds me of what happened and that fuels the write up for the first page of each month section.
The only "rules" that I have for this book are that the fonts can't change and the first image has to be a solo shot of me. That's my motivator to make sure I get at least one per month.
This month, I included extra journaling using the text from my day in the life post on March 2nd. I copied the blog post into PSE, shrunk the text and played with it until it fit on two pieces of paper that would go back to back in the album. I printed it at home on the same paper I use for the month summaries and bread posts. Then I cut both sides down to 8.25x4.75 inches. I adhered the papers back to back and slipped them into an 8.5x11 plastic sleeve. Obviously, the sleeve was too big and I trimmed it down to fit. To secure the paper and finish off the sleeve, I machine stitched the top and bottom.
I'm looking forward to doing the same "day in the life" documentation again this year. It will be interesting to see how things change.
