Project Life | Week 12

I'm coming to the realization that I won't have all the weeks from 2012 finished by the time 2013 rolls around.  There are less than 12 weeks left in the year, and I've only completed 12 weeks.  There are 52 weeks in a year, folks.  That leaves 40 weeks.  I'm trying not to get bummed about it.  I'm brainstorming ways to make it go faster (I'm just a really s.l.o.w. scrapper). 

I don't like that every time I post a Project Life layout, I talk about how it took me forever and that I'm so far behind.  I don't want it to be that way.  I'm frustrated that I haven't kept up with it better.  I do enjoy creating the pages, but a year is just overwhelming.  The goal of this project is to take the overwhelming part out - or at least diminish it, but so far, I haven't felt that. 

I don't know what my plan will be for 2013.  I don't feel good about starting Project Life again for 2013 when I haven't finished 2012.  And, who am I kidding?  I only have half of the monthly spreads finished for 2011!  Ack.  I do enjoy it.  I really do.  I just put so much pressure on myself.  Why do I do that!?  I'm rolling my eyes. 

Enough whining.  On with the layouts!

    I love your scrape booking! it makes me really wish i could do it too. Maybe since doing a week is so hard and time consuming what about if you modify the project to better fit for you. Like do a monthly lay out and do 1 picture for each week of the month? Just a thought. You are still capturing your life and memories, but in smaller bites.

      Hi Eleshia! Thanks! I go back and forth about what to do. I've done a month a time before, and that was overwhelming because I take SO many pictures in one month. I thought doing a week at a time would be more manageable, and I think it would be if I actually did a page every week. :) I'm really liking doing InstaFriday, so I'm thinking about doing next year mainly through Instagram, but I also love using pictures I take with my big camera... so who knows! :)
