		<title>Project Life &#8211; Week 1, Jan. 1-8, 2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And here we start into the actual weekly documentation! My kit actually arrived the third week of January, but I had been enthusiastically storing memorabilia, taking photos and taking notes for my journaling, so it wasn&#8217;t too much trouble to get caught up. (Wish I could say that now &#8212; I have a lot of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Project Life &#8211; Introducing Us</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I began Project Life in January, our expectation was that we would be moving in August to Toronto, Ontario &#8212; two provinces away from our home in La Ronge, Saskatchewan, and a city of 6 million people as opposed to La Ronge&#8217;s population of just over 3,000. So I decided that I would start [...]]]></description>

		<title>Project Life &#8211; Welcoming 2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is the opening page for volume 1 of my 2012 Project Life album collection. I wanted a playful look for the start of my album, so I cut up a sheet of Sassafrass paper with an explosion of rainbow colours and hot air balloons, and used the pieces to frame the page. I like [...]]]></description>

		<title>2012 in the books</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This has been a very, very full year for us, and Project Life has been a Godsend for me, by enabling/forcing me to pay attention to the good, cope with the bad, and celebrate so many of the big and little moments of our lives here. It&#8217;s a year that has not turned out as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sharing a bit of Project Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the last few months, I&#8217;ve been concentrating my scrapbooking energy on my 2012 Project Life album, but I haven&#8217;t gotten organized enough to share any of it. My friend Hillary asked to see what I&#8217;ve been working on, so I decided I&#8217;d post this past week&#8217;s layout. Hope you find it interesting, Hillary! I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Doubling up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend was the big crop weekend at Cocoa Daisy, which is held twice a year (April and November) &#8212; and man, was it ever intense, and FUN. So much fun, in fact, that I didn&#8217;t end up taking a break from the festivities (and crafting!) on Friday, which was my original plan since [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ornament swap!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am so excited &#8212; I have decided to participate in a homemade Christmas ornament swap, &#8220;Secret Santa&#8221; style (ie. one piece sent anonymously). It is being organized by Nathalie (&#8220;Nat&#8221;) Kalbach, and this is the fifth year of the swap, so I know it&#8217;s got some &#8220;street cred&#8221; behind it. (The picture in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fresh baked numbers, anyone?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So sorry about not being timely with my weekly post &#8212; instead of writing for my blog yesterday during Sara&#8217;s nap, I was in the midst of glue and paper scraps and buttons and glitter. As a result, though, this week&#8217;s content is about as fresh as it gets! I&#8217;m starting work on my December [...]]]></description>

		<title>Halloweens past</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As promised, here are a few more Halloween projects. First up &#8212; &#8220;Halloween Runaways&#8221;. This one is actually the most traditionally coloured of the lot, which makes a bit ironic that its purpose is in part to help explain why we don&#8217;t like Halloween all that much! As I&#8217;ve mentioned, Halloween isn&#8217;t my favorite holiday [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arroooooo&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the &#8220;spirit&#8221; of Halloween (insert groans here &#8212; preferrably with ghostly chains rattling!), I thought I&#8217;d share some of my oddly large collection of Halloween layouts. I say &#8220;oddly large&#8221; because Halloween isn&#8217;t really one of my favorite holidays &#8212; especially all the death imagery &#8212; but I&#8217;ve actually found it easier to scrapbook [...]]]></description>
