Wow, I just started to watch your videos and this one was the 1st one I choose to watch and all can say is WOW! What a wonderful way to document your family's accomplishments...like a year in review. I think I will do the same as it's a PERFECT way to use up all those pictures I have that don't have a home except for the picture box they're in...thanks for sharing and I'm definitely subbing now....(((HUGS))) Love Laura
WOW! This is impressive. And what a great idea. Almost mid february now. Hm I might get this year done anyway. I must ask thou the clear sheets you put everything in where did you get it from? Hope not michels, I dont have them here in Norway. This is such a treasure to make. Tfs.:)
@kaitlinfaith Thank you Crystal. I print my photos at home. My SIL has a small personal printer and I have been using that. My husband just bought me a Selphy personal printer. I can even print smaller then these or just a 4x6 photo.
Wow! This is such a memory. What a treasure for you and your family. I'm not sure if I could commit to something everyday! You did an awesome job. Congrats for getting it done.
love your project 365 I rememeber you starting this... love all teh little tips you included. I'm planning to use some of those BH page protectors and combine it with my layouts as now i have three kids to include. lol looking forward to this year project.
I really want to try this! I have a question for you about taking your pics. Do you have the camera automatically put the date on the pic, or do you download your pics daily? I just cant see myself pulling my card out on a daily basis to download pics. Did you jot down on post its what you wanted to talk about daily? I really, really want to do this, but I am afraid I will fail:( Kudos to you for finishing your 365 project! TFS! Cheryl
@cher1292 Don't over think this. I did and it took me a bit to get started.
As for the pictures, yes most days I take a photo, it is just something I have been doing for a few years now. I keep my camera cord by my laptop and just plug it in, it puts my photos in a file by each day. Because I have a blog I write a bit about my life on there. For the family stories, I jot them down at the end of the day.
How amazing is that?! I'm very proud of you, getting it all documented. I'm excited, just ordered project life materials, hope I can do half the job you did :-) bravo!
@NonnieScrap Thank you so much. Have fun with your kit. I think it may be easier with the kit....mind you I did do mine pretty basic. Besides all the inking I did, lol
Awesome Tracy! This is, and will be such a treasure in the future. What an amazing chronicle of your year. Great job and congrats on finishing it up. It must have been fun because you are doing it again and thinking about going back to 2010, tfs
Oh wow Tracy!! This album is absolutely awesome, I love everything about it! What a treasure for you and your family. May I ask where you purchased the album/page protectors??? Thank you so much for sharing :)
Great job Tracy and you are correct this is a treasure for you and your family to keep forever, a legacy to be passed on down through the generations. I have always loved looking at pictures of my mom and dad's family as they were growing up, and how much better it would be if there was actual journaling of details of their lives. Thanks for sharing and kudos to your husband for being such a help to you.
@JandSib80 Thank you so much Sybil :) I wish I had more photos of my mom and dad. I love looking at old photos, even if I don't know the people in them, lol.
Yes, Wayne was great doing everything so I could get the project completed. I am planning on keeping up with it this year.
What a lovely idea, a year in pictures and words. We all take so many photos nowadays so this is a perfect way to use them. I think I may try this myself. Lovely book. Love watching your videos :O)
I totally love this idea!!!! I'm going to get started today!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!! Your idea is taking a picture everyday, right and add journaling to every picture.
Yes I do take a photo everyday and journal. But some days I may miss a photo, so I would take one the next day. Or some days nothing really happened, so I will take a photo of something in our home and write about it
Wow, how wonderful that you finished this project! I bet your family just loves looking through it. Thanks so much for sharing and for the inspiration! hugs, Kimberly
What a wonderful way to journal your life in a year..I'd love to have something like that to pass down to my kids...Great way to use up old paper also love the journaling spots behind the pics..Not sure if mine would be that great it's just Steve and I it might be a boring book lol..love that tab punch...hugs Terrie
Love that you had extra journaling. The tabs were a great idea. Hate to cut stories too short. I am in awe of you-what inspiration!!! I have a teeny house and like the idea of keeping your main elements together.
@iluvtojournal Thank you :) I am very long winded and love to journal, so this is perfect. Plus not sure if the girls would want everyone reading the silly things they say, so it is a bit private as well :)
So awesome! This looks really cool only I am so far behind now I can't even think of starting one of these :0) I love the way yours turned out though! Hugs!
Fantastic, wonderful, what an amazing heirloom! I wish I could be so disciplined. Maybe you just start, do whatever you can without being negative about the days you miss and keep going, right? If we even just did a few days a month it would still make a wonderful keepsake. Will try. TFS and be blessed. I can only imagine how fun it is to look through!! :D
@musictoliveby08 You are so right and have a great attitude about this project. Yes if you miss a day, big deal....some days you will have more than one photo, use one of those.
I have filler photos. On the days that nothing is going on, I will take a photo of something and write about that object.
It is fun looking through, there were things I forgot happened even this year, until I read over the album :) Thank you so much for commenting :)
@inkfairy1 You know if you look back at the start of this project when I was asking for help on how to organize this, I was overwhelmed as well. I (sounds like you do to) seem to want it to be perfect and critique everything. This is just a photo album that I bought from Zellers (it would be the same as a Target in the US). The protectors (pages) came with it (as all photo albums do).
Great album! I've been thinking of doing something like this but maybe more on a weekly basis instead of daily. Or maybe even do just a month in review and see how that goes. I'm still not caught up on my Dec. Daily from Dec 2011 (it goes from Thanksgiving thru New Years). Thank you for sharing your project. I'm sure your family will treasure it in the years to come.
@christelblue You have the right way of thinking. If daily is to much then try weekly or monthly. As for your Dec. Daily, I did one last year and didn't even start it until the middle of Jan. I am always such a procrastinator....good luck on your DD, you will get it done and be so happy that you did :)
WOW this is awesome! If I had known about this idea I would of started it on my sons birthday which is January 1st! I love how this came out and its gonna be treasured forever. By the way, what kind of album were you able to keep that many page protectors in and what kind of page protectors are those? Thanks for sharing!
@Unheard03 Thank you so much for watching and commenting. As for the page protectors..this is just a photo album. I needed two to get all the inserts that I needed. I just took them out and put them in one album. The second album was damaged so I got it for a real cheap price...but all I wanted were the inserts (protectors) so that turned out perfectly.
If I was you and really wanted to do this, I would. You are only 22 days behind. You probably have many photos of his BDay. Go for it
I had been thinking about doing this and your video is just what I needed to et me started. I love the type of album you used. I'm going to look for one like it at the store today.
@chungis61804 Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I am so glad I have inspired you to try this. I just used a photo album, nothing special. It is a 12x12 size....but it doesn't have to be :)
what a fantastic keepsake for your family....I still have my mom's journals from forty plus yrs ago....really nice to have especially since I lost my mom last year....
I have journals....but I am not sure I want my girls to read them when I am gone, lol. I wasn't as good as they are, lol.
It is so special to have something that personal of your moms. I have some of my mom's recipes in her handwriting. I wish I had something of my grandparents.
what a fantastic keepsake for your family....I still have my mom's journals from 40 yrs ago....really nice to have especially since I lost my mom last year....
what a fantastic keepsake for your family....I still have my mom's journals from 40+ yrs ago....really nice to have especially since I lost my mom last year....
This is wonderful.I watched when you first started the project, congratulations on finishing, I was inspired by you so I also started by doing a mini album, still not through,don't want to stop and it's so much fun.I have 13 sisters,10 brother-in-laws and 37 nephews,3 grandchildren, so this might turn into a humongous project, heeeheee. TFS&I
@SleepyMushroomFairy Thank you so much for watching and commenting. As for not doing to much of interest, neither are we :) It may not seem very interesting right now, but 10 yrs from now, my girls can say remember when mom burnt those cookies, lol.
bravo my friend. good for you! I am so proud of you and what a treasure that book is. I have my one resolution and I need to concentrate on that but taking a picture every day would be wonderful to do. I might actually adopt that later on. Have a wonderful weekend girl. relax and have fun and bravo to wayne for cooking dinner! LOL Hugs,Pea
You have made a real treasure for your family. When your children, and later your grandchildren, look at this book, they will have a true feeling of family and connectedness. I know they appreciate it now, but they will truly value it when they grow older. Holly M.
I just started mine. The recollections pocket page protectors are 10 for 4.99. I made my own as well. Not sure if I could take a pix a day but I'm at least getting some done!! Your album looks awesome. Tfs. Hugs
@Scrapping601 Thank you Nancy. I love that this album has black photo protectors. I found another album for this year, but can't find the refill anywhere :(
Some ladies do it weekly or monthly.
Doesn't matter how you do it. It will be a treasure for you and your family :)
@mtmg31 Thank you so much :) It is like a collage. But with the home photo printer I have I click on the 2 up and I can chose 2 different pictures on one photo
This is really nice. I wish I could do something like this. I just never take a lot of pictures. I'm trying to get better at doing it. Maybe someday I'll actually take the time to do this. I think it would make a great family heriloom. TFS
Oh my goodness this is wonderful. How do you print the pictures? I want to know more about the printer. You take a picture every day? Great idea!!! I do want to try. It will just be for me I am sure but fun. Thanks Tracy. I do want to know more about the printer.
But this isn't my idea. I first learned about it from a photo site. But I thought I would add journaling to it as I love to journal. Then I learned about Becky Higgins, she has a kit for this. But I still wanted to do it my way....plus I had all the supplies :)
Oh Tracy, I love this project and the whole idea of it! What a wonderful treasure to have. I wish I had known on the first day of the year - I feel I'm too far behind to start now, but, I can think about what I could include for the first part of the year. Kudos to you! It's a wonderful idea and keepsake! TFS
@theoneandonlygrand Thank you so much Pam. I don't think it is to late to start. I am doing it again this year and haven't started either.
You could take some filler photos (if you don't have any so far this year) and just write about them. Like if you have something special your mom gave you....take a photo and write about it. You can do it :)
Great job!!! I can see how much you will treasure this in years to come...just the little things in life and also the big events. I love that you did all the journaling in your own handwriting. Very inspirational!
@scdevoe Thank you :) As much as I don't like my hand writing, I keep thinking how special it will be for my girls when I am gone. I would love to see my grandmothers handwriting, so I just keep that in mind.
Wow, I just started to watch your videos and this one was the 1st one I choose to watch and all can say is WOW! What a wonderful way to document your family's accomplishments...like a year in review. I think I will do the same as it's a PERFECT way to use up all those pictures I have that don't have a home except for the picture box they're in...thanks for sharing and I'm definitely subbing now....(((HUGS))) Love Laura

As for the page protectors I used. They came with the album.
This is just an ordinary photo album you can get anywhere. I liked this one as it has the black background and I think it makes the photos pop.
I think I have enough for this year (as I bought another album) but I bought the last one, so next year I will have to get something different.

@SleepyMushroomFairy Thank you so much for watching and commenting. As for not doing to much of interest, neither are we :) It may not seem very interesting right now, but 10 yrs from now, my girls can say remember when mom burnt those cookies, lol.

I have my one resolution and I need to concentrate on that but taking a picture every day would be wonderful to do. I might actually adopt that later on. Have a wonderful weekend girl. relax and have fun and bravo to wayne for cooking dinner! LOL Hugs,Pea

You have made a real treasure for your family. When your children, and later your grandchildren, look at this book, they will have a true feeling of family and connectedness. I know they appreciate it now, but they will truly value it when they grow older. Holly M.

@Scrapping601 Thank you Nancy. I love that this album has black photo protectors. I found another album for this year, but can't find the refill anywhere :(
Some ladies do it weekly or monthly.
Doesn't matter how you do it. It will be a treasure for you and your family :)

@mtmg31 Thank you so much :) It is like a collage. But with the home photo printer I have I click on the 2 up and I can chose 2 different pictures on one photo
TracysTreasures24 1 month ago
This is really nice. I wish I could do something like this. I just never take a lot of pictures. I'm trying to get better at doing it. Maybe someday I'll actually take the time to do this. I think it would make a great family heriloom. TFS

@do4x4 Thank you Doreen. We take a lot of photos in this family. My 3 daughters and hubby are all photographers. I just have a point and shoot.
I used to get looks from my extended family about What I took photos of. Now they ask..are you going to take a picture of that, lol.
TracysTreasures24 1 month ago
Oh my goodness this is wonderful. How do you print the pictures? I want to know more about the printer. You take a picture every day? Great idea!!! I do want to try. It will just be for me I am sure but fun. Thanks Tracy. I do want to know more about the printer.

scrpbknmama69 1 month ago
@scrpbknmama69 So happy I could inspire you.
But this isn't my idea. I first learned about it from a photo site. But I thought I would add journaling to it as I love to journal. Then I learned about Becky Higgins, she has a kit for this. But I still wanted to do it my way....plus I had all the supplies :)
TracysTreasures24 1 month ago
Oh Tracy, I love this project and the whole idea of it! What a wonderful treasure to have. I wish I had known on the first day of the year - I feel I'm too far behind to start now, but, I can think about what I could include for the first part of the year. Kudos to you! It's a wonderful idea and keepsake! TFS
Hugs, Pam xxx

@theoneandonlygrand Thank you so much Pam. I don't think it is to late to start. I am doing it again this year and haven't started either.
You could take some filler photos (if you don't have any so far this year) and just write about them. Like if you have something special your mom gave you....take a photo and write about it. You can do it :)
TracysTreasures24 1 month ago
Great job!!! I can see how much you will treasure this in years to come...just the little things in life and also the big events. I love that you did all the journaling in your own handwriting. Very inspirational!

@scdevoe Thank you :) As much as I don't like my hand writing, I keep thinking how special it will be for my girls when I am gone. I would love to see my grandmothers handwriting, so I just keep that in mind.
