The layman's Project Life


So Project Life scrapbooks are all the Pinterest craze at the minute! I don't think they're anything new, I'm pretty sure LilyPebbles did one for 2014. She's the unofficial Queen of Project Life. Now for 2015, all the bloggers and crafters in my life seem to be making one!

They're not the cheapest, nor are they the most expensive thing in the world if you manage it. Essentially, you buy a £20 book/folder, and buy pages, and accessories, like stickers, tape, card, etc separately. Though, as I've mentioned before, I'm a completionist of everything I start. Buying every Marvel Cinematic Universe DVD seemed like a reasonable goal in 2010, yet here I am in 2014 with around 10 or so, some I haven't even watched yet, and there's many, many more Marvel films to come. So I imagine a Project Life book would end up setting me back £100s over the year. £100s that I really don't have.

For a while now, since December 2013, I've been making my own, very basic, scrapbook/photo albums. I guess they're a form of Project Life in themselves, although, not as pretty, not as Pinterest and not as impressive.



I'm really selling it aren't I?

Bad crafting

The title of this blogpost sounds like a bad Christmas movie. A little bit at least!

This week's post was originally going to be on what I've done over summer, but I'm pushing that back because I don't go back to uni for almost a month properly, I move back sooner, but actual lectures don't start anytime soon.
It was then going to be on breaking habits, as I'm trying to stop biting my nails (again), I stopped once for a while and it was great, but every time I worry I start biting them again. But now after Jim Chapman mentioned that under your nails is dirtier than a toilet seat, I want to stop forever now. But I'm still biting them...I got worse actually. I just caught myself biting them, so I thought it would be a bit contradictory to write a post about how I'm being great and stopping when I've regressed. Maybe in a few weeks.
Then this post was going to be on anxiety and worries, but I did a post on that recently, which I'd forgotten about, so here we are. I don't know why I took you on the journey of this post but here we are.

I can't rotate this picture and I'm too lazy to rotate it and re-upload it. Please forgive me.
