Over the weekend I found a new album project over at Designer Digitals that resonated immediately. I am at a stage in my life for which there are so many thing going on - good, bad and I am so grateful for all of it. When I saw this new Cathy Zielske album project, I bought and downloaded it first thing in the morning - I had it completed and submitted to Persnickety Prints by 4PM, with a trip to the golf store, the bike shop and the mall all thrown in between!
Love me a simple, and manageable, project that takes me by surprise.
What do you think?

MINDFUL
GRATEFUL
My favourite projects meet a few criteria: simple themes, simple design, flexibility, genuine emotion and honest words. This project is certainly one of my new favourites. Oh, and it's done! That is the very best part :)
About flexibility: The photos and words chosen are those I feel today, in this moment. This is not how I felt a year ago, and doubtful the same as I will feel a year from now. Certainly I will be 'ful of many the same things, but I'm sure other things will become more of my focus. Or my children will be something for whom I am more "mindful" or "thankful" than "hopeful" and for completely different reasons. Maybe things will be more light-hearted and silly? Or more serious and dour? Let's hope life brings with it plenty of silly!
Elements of this project include:
Template: Cathy Zielske, The 'Ful Album Project, Designer Digitals
DigiPaper: Maplebrook Studios, Graphica Solids, Designer Digitals
Photos: From my collection, though I don't remember taking the veggie one.
As always, thank you Cathy Zielske for all that you do. I enjoyed taking my day and reflecting on all those thing in my life that make it 'ful.
