January 2017 Pocket Projects

I love that the year started on a SUnday too. I am going to do this in 2017. Can't wait. Already have some awesome calendar cards bought and ready.

 

I run my weeks Monday-Sunday, so I don't get that satisfaction until next year. Since January 1 would otherwise be hanging out by it's lonesome, though, I think I'm just going to bundle it in with the first week in my 2017 album anyway (though we may have actually done enough on that one day for a full 2-page spread!!!).

 

I also run Monday-Sunday, but I bundled the first with the rest of the week. Already planning!

 

Yes, I'm very happy that the first week of the year started 'properly'! Now I just have to remember to take some photos as the wet, colder days do not inspire me to go out.

 

I love the Sunday start this year too! Have not started this year at all yet and just barely finished 2016 today! Yay!

 

I couldn't help myself. I started early. I think I'm going to use the 'as many or as few pages as it takes" approach.

 

My weeks obviously start on Monday, so no full first week for me until next year!
But I kind of like it. Because it means I use the first odd single page in an album (you know the one) about just the fireworks! I didn't really do anything else on that day so..
I bought my new week cards and font, but I think I'm gonna keep with my template style from last year.

 

I admit to being a little giddy about the first being on Sunday this year
I've finished up the left side of week one and hope to work on the right side this weekend. I might take this approach this year... work on the first half of the week and then the second later instead of trying to do it all at one time. We'll see how it works out hahaha

 

This is what I have always done. I work on my pages for the week as soon as I have enough for one page.

 

Trying out my plan for 2017 with the first couple days of January...

 

Yes! This.

 

Finished page 2. Had to censor one card because it's Cards Against Humanity, therefore not exactly work appropriate.

 

Julie, I have never done a complete year before and I don't know that I will do layouts but I am definitely doing photos. I found this wonderful little app called "little moments" that provides prompts each day. I love that it gives me the whole month but then prompts each day so I can document my day.

Even though it is now just hubby and I almost every day (grandkids don't stay as often since their dad got a new job) I don't want to look back at some point and realize we quit taking photos. Our life may be "boring" but it is my life.

 

Week 1 finished! I did January 1st on last week's lay-out, but my album runs from summer break to summer break (I work as a teacher so that's still how my years are organised) so no big deal for me!

 

I tried really hard to go simpler but it wasn't happening so it's my usual style:

 

So (as usual) I got excited over the first week of Project Life and this week is a whopping four pages! I need to finish page 4 tonight or tomorrow (we might go see Moana again tonight xD)

But here's page 3:

 

Here's mine
