personal 6x8 album

i keep two project life albums. one is a 12x12 that i use to make weekly spreads of our family life (and it's very arty-heavy, because he's the most interesting of the three of us!), and the other is a small 6x8.

the point of the 6x8 is not to keep a chronological account of life, but to record the little thoughts and ideas that pop into my head. earworms, passing favourites, little personal victories and epiphanies, and of course pieces of gathered ephemera.

i'm taking a much more relaxed approach to this album, and enjoying it immensely.

here's the title page:

it's my intention to use this as a tool for inspiring gratitude, presence in the everyday, and attentiveness to the little things. i know those things are blogger cliches these days, but i think that's because they actually do work to make us happier and more content. so i'm going with it.
