Today is my birthday. I don't know if there will be any celebrating just
yet. My kids are sick and at least one of them is staying home from
school. We're waiting to see how the others are faring. Thankfully, with
my campaign for Birthday Month, who really cares. There are 31 days in
August. We should be able to find a day for cake somewhere in there. It's Birthday Month!
Remember when birthdays were an achievement? In the middle here,
birthdays are just novelties, an asterisk on the calendar. If I'm
fortunate enough to reach old age, birthdays might become
accomplishments again. In fact, there should be necklaces to celebrate
your age like an award ribbon. When I'm 86, I'll gladly wear my age on a
gold necklace and swap it for an 87 with a smile.
This year's birthday doesn't just have a small asterisk next to it
though—because I'm giving away big presents every day this month. And
I've planned a big ol' glorious prize for today. Becky Higgins and Project Life are generously donating a complete kit of the Olive Edition I designed for them: a Core Kit of cards, an Album and a Big Pack of Photo Pocket Pages. Everything you need to complete an album. A $75 value.
Project Life is taking the scrapbooking and journaling world by
storm. In summary, it's a simple, efficient system for cataloging your
life in photos and stories.
My limited Olive Edition for Project Life is currently available only at Amazon.com. In addition to the items shown above, there is a big pack of 12" x 12" papers and super-fun month dividers. Everything is very reasonably priced. For more information on Project Life in general, visit BeckyHiggins.com. Becky and her team keep a faithful blog of ideas and inspiration. There are even videos to get you started. Also, for the daily play-by-play, follow @beckyhigginsllc and #projectlife on Instagram.
