Just wanted to share a simple update for those of you who are interested. 1) My 365 Project is going strong. I’m not sure whether I’ll get around to sharing a bit about each picture in blog posts but I plan to upload them to this gallery on about a weekly basis. (I’m also having them printed and putting them in my 365 binder). You can also see images from that gallery on the right hand side. . . and there’s a link to...

I wound up signing up for CathyZ’s Design Your Life Class over at Big Picture Scrapbooking. . . Although I signed up a week late.
