...something HUGE to share in my scrappy world...

BUT FIRST...

guess who got her ears pierced today after school???

( well, they were done before but had closed over )

GIGGLE...she was soooo excited to get 'em done, and not even an "ouch"!!!

...and here's my own bit of excitement...

Remember back in May when i shared my "WEEK IN OUR LIFE" project with you?

...i had documented on my blog daily through photography and journaling all our

daily routines and activities and then compiled it all into a totally cute album!!

WEEELLLL.....

I had been pondering the thought of "how fun would trying a YEAR project be?"

NOT blogging every day, but definitely taking pictures every day and compiling another album, all over a year period...and I've started it!!! I am soooo stoked about this project!

AND HERE'S THE THING:

i had originally planned to do this

"YEAR IN OUR LIFE" project as a class...I had been starting to purchase some

journaling cards to put away to include in the class, but as things started piling up, so did the cost of the project. And I wasn't even at the album part of it yet....

SOOO.....here's the deal.

I have taken lots of pictures of my own project so far to share with you AND to see if this is something any of you would be interested in attempting yourself!

if you are even SLIGHTLY interested, I will be offering a couple of

FREE INFORMATION evenings to get you the jist of the whole project!

At the 'meeting', i will have my project available for 'show and tell' and also several color copies of the journaling cards to purchase ( .55 each 8.5 x 11 sheet ) for you to make your own additional copies for your own album!!!

The first information night will be

MONDAY, OCTOBER 4 at 6:30pm....coffee and tea will be available.

And a second information night on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14 at 7pm

( both meetings offered will be at my house )

so, without further delay, here's a peek at some of my pages so far...

FUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

:)

...these are some of the journaling card sheets that will be available to purchase for .55 / sheet at the meetings...

...doesn't this look like a ton of fun??

my excitement over this project has rubbed off my friend Tara, who has also started her own

"YEAR IN OUR LIFE" album in the middle of September, so there is no given date to start this project....mine started June 30.

So any time is a great time to start...Go for it!

If you are interested in attending either of the info nights, please email me at

thegriffs@mts.net for further information and to register!!! It's FREE!!!!

Hope this has gotten your creative juices going....

:O)
