Year in Review: Creative & Personal Projects of 2014

2014 proved that I’m a chronic beginner…sometimes I’m not a finisher, but at least I try. It was interesting to go back through my posts from this year (…thankful that I started blogging only 3 days a week because that means a lot less posts to sort through!) to see what I made, how I documented things, what I stopped sharing, and what needs to be updated. My One Little Word for 2015 came to me while I worked on this post. I’m looking forward to sharing it with you and what my (simple) plan is for 2015 and documenting that word and how it aids or shapes my year.

In 2014, I shared some Project Life layouts. I started out strong and was documenting my weeks (starting with my birthday week) and making sure my photos were printed and whatnot. But, as usual, I hit a snag and things slowed down. I ended up changing how I was documenting my weeks…instead of two 12×12 page layouts, I changed many weeks to only 1 12×12 layout. I’m able to fit more weeks into a single binder (1 year of layouts usually takes up 2 binders) and it was a huge weight off of my shoulders to see that I had fewer gaps and more completed weeks if I stuck with that plan. Anyway, here are my Project Life posts:

• My plan for “Year 28″ Project Life
• Layout posts: Weeks front page/1-3, 4-7, 8-11, 12-15, 23 – 32, and 31-39
• Free download for a photo ordering sheet
• Some resources for Project Life folks
• Expand stories in your Project Life album by using slide page protectors

I shared a handful of tips and resources for different kinds of creative and personal projects this year, too.

• The easiest photo-a-day mini-album
• I bought a raskog cart from IKEA and shared some organization tips for Project Life and paper crafting supplies. I am currently using the cart for toiletries and hair stuff. It’s nice to be able to have everything in one spot that I can cart around as necessary. I’ll probably end up buying a second cart once we have some space
• Selfies got bad (and probably well-deserved) attention this year…I shared how I use mirrors/reflective surfaces to take selfies that tell a story
• Journaling tips for non-journals (like me!)
• If you have some time to spare, why not make a quick art journal?
• I shared 3 tips for planning your cubicle escape. I’m getting closer :)

I participated in a few creative challenges (many were self-imposed) and shared updates to different on-going projects.

• Day in the Life: May 8, 2014
• Honey stick party favors
• 30 Days of Lists March 2014 and September 2014 – My album and my lists
• December Daily® 2014 Plan
• One Little Word updates 1 and 2
• Small apartment-friendly landing station for your entryway
• My New York City mini-travel album
• I made sushi!
• The Currently List

My Personal Projects. This section is so I can find things easier :)

• My return to the climbing gym and an update a month later
• Project updates // my quilt, a competition I entered, and more
• My 28 things to do before I turn 29 list!

Here’s to more projects in 2015.
