The Savor Project is sort of a combination between Project Life and December Daily. Something I created for myself so that I could savor the little moments of our life and preserve our stories. You can read a lot more about it in this post.
Since I started this project in November, the first few weeks I share will be from November. I then took a break for December since I worked on my December Daily album then and I am going back to it for January. So here we are with some pages from November:
this is November 10 and 11. On the left is the kids playing together and David’s new desk which we spent all night putting together and he’s already lined up his legos on. I also added the box for the Robitussin because I was sick that week and absolutely hated taking this medicine.
this page has the back of the medicine and then a printout of a bug that caused me to work on a day I was officially off work. I took the 11th as a vacation day but then we had a compatibility issue and I ended up chasing it down all day so it wasn’t really a day off. I printed the public bug report out and put it in the pocket to remind myself.
Behind the printout, I put a photo of Nathaniel surrounded by diapers. This is to remind me that he finds ways to self-entertain when I am busy with work or being sick. And it ends up okay. It might be a mess but he’s happy.
The next spread is just a photo of the kids playing on the left. I was still sick and Jake was out of town. The kids were just sweet as can be. Played quietly and happily. I just feel indescribably lucky. The right page is about when Jake gets home from his trip and the kids are so happy to see him and hang out with him.
And finally the last spread. The one on the left is my performance evaluation. Just wanted to be able to come back and look at them. The right side is both the kids writing at different times of the day and how much joy it brings me to see them at the table and how much they enjoy writing.
That’s it for this week. More next week.
The Savor Project was supposed to be a weekly project for 2012. You can read more this album here. But then I changed setup and here is my new setup.

Your work is gorgeous, Karen! I continue to admire and love your style. Your pages always looks so happy. I want to know how you stitch scrapbook paper onto the moleskine notebook. If I knew how you accomplished this, I would join you and make one myself. I hope you consider making a video of your process. Many thanks and Happy New Year!
I really like your idea for this. Tell me, do you use just card stock to create your base pages?
Thanks, also for your Jump Start video!
