living that 6x8 life
It's still pretty cold in Chicago right now...but I detect a change in the air. I can feel Spring in my bones and I really can't wait. My work space in the new house...while way smaller than my previous office, is functioning pretty well. It's a nook in my bedroom which is both good and bad. The toughest part is keeping Ronin out of my washi bin.
Not being completely settled made deciding to begin another pocket album a bit up in the air. I noticed everyone was changing sizes and albums...9x12 being the size du jour. I kind of wanted to as well. Why? No reason...sometimes I just shuffle ahead with the pack. I didn't really think too much about it because I wasn't even really sure any type of Project Life-esque memorykeeping was in the cards this year...that was until I unpacked my 2014 album in mid January.
Well...that little 6x8 binder was a revelation. So much stuff that I'd already forgotten. So many pictures that were no longer on my hard drive. It was my life laid out before me, how could I not do it again? So I decided pretty readily that I would. No changes...still doing it monthly, still living that 6x8 life. I'm a girl that loves a well developed process. I like having a formula, an operating system. The 6x8 album is my system. It's pretty compact...it's not a major looker, but it keeps the focus on what's inside...and that's what counts.
In other news, I've switched to Squarespace. Blogger has been good to me but after 10 years of blogging...almost eight there and that Live Journal blog that is thankfully no longer in existence, I was ready to move on. I'm not gonna worry about my archives...you can still find that here. Done and done.
