I don't think I have ever shared a close up of the month intro text, so here you go (click to enlarge) :

I always keep this part very casual – sort of like a diary entry for the month. I mentioned this when I started the project, but this book is really mine. Not mine and Paul's, not our family's, mine. In January, I thought this album would be a one time thing – something to document my last year before we start trying to become parents and something to have for me while Paul was deployed. Now, almost halfway through, I really hope this becomes a yearly tradition that I keep even when do have a bigger family and our lives are more chaotic. I love this album so much. I'm already so glad to have these photos printed and my thoughts saved all together.

See January, February, March & April.

small sidenote : I added another pair of shoes and still have the hobo clutch available @ my spring cleaning sale.

    I love this project. I do something like this for trips but had never thought to do it for other aspects of my life too. Thanks for the inspiration!

    I adore this album, Elise! I love the consistency in style each month – makes it very fluid. I also love that you have chosen to make yourself the focus for the subject matter.
    I am also doing a monthly project albeit in a different style and format, but seeing yours gives me inspiration to keep going with mine.
    I think it’s these types of projects that are the most interesting and leafed through in years to come. Your kids will love reading this!
