Becky Higgins on Creative Live

This week Creative Live had Becky Higgins on for a three-day workshop on cultivating a good life through Project Life. She highlighted some products, talked about how PL came to be, and shared stories, ideas, and examples of how people are using PL. they also talked about digital scrapbooking, journaling and taking photos.

If you are interested, they are extending the free rebroadcast of all of the segments this weekend only. You can purchase the series for $99 while it is rebroadcasting but then the price goes up to $149. I would recommend checking it out for free but I don't think I would pay $99 unless I was new to scrapbooking and Project Life. Here is a link for the rebroadcast: http://www.creativelive.com/watch2

I watched live on Wednesday since I was home with a sick kiddo and I was pleasantly surprised with the content. I couldn't imagine how Becky could talk for three days about putting photos in page protectors but it was much more than that. Parts were slow because she had to stretch out the segments but there was a lot of food for thought. Here are my takeaways:

1. Begin with the end in mind. She said this repeatedly. It made me think about why I am doing Project Life. For my kids? For me? For future generations? I think it is a little of each for me. I want my kids to see how much I love and value them. I love being creative and feel energized after some time in my craft room. I want to have photos of everyday life and everyday objects to show my grand kids what life was like for my family. 

2. I have a lot of project ideas! I want to keep current on my PL, do a mini album for our anniversary cruise this spring, make an album for my dad with the photos he found, work on my son's school album, and get my old photos out of the box. Sheesh! Priorities!

3. I am *this close* to canceling my PL subscriptions and going super simple with my PL for 2014. I can use my embellishments when I want to make a project or layout. We'll see. Becky made the simple aspects of PL seem very tempting. 

I hope you have a chance to check it out- I laughed and cried and was very grateful to know that there are people just as crazy about Project Life as I am!
