I was just wondering if anyone else is going back to do 2015? I'm starting from 1/15 and would love an encouragement partner/partners. I'm going to keep my pages super clean and simple and try to get them done at quickly as possible. :)
 
I'm not doing 2015 (almost done!)... but I am still working on project life-ing 2010. We used to have a thread each month for non-current year projects, maybe we can do something similar again. I would love to PL some of my years from when I took a scrapping break.
 
I have bits and pieces of 2012-2014 done, but did nothing for 2015. My plan is to just do a 2 page per month spread using all of the wonderful 2015 MPM collections that I've amassed. It will just be a glimpse of each month but I've decided that will have to be enough. For now I'm going to focus on 2016 and making that the best album I can (even if it also remains unfinished..hahaha).
 
I'm only about 1/2 way finished w/ 2015. I still have to do April, May, June, October, November, December. Oy!
Yes, I would love to be your 2015 buddy! I am also going to TRY to semi-keep-up with 2016 simultaneously. I think clean and simple is the ONLY way I'll ever be able to get this done!
 
I'll share a little secret with you, Karen. As soon as you start to see some of those pages under your belt, it will be all the motivation you need to keep going. It is simply the best form of memory keeping I've ever found. I love thumbing through the year, reliving those little moments. Clean and simple actually seems to be the trend in pocket style memory keeping. I think most people have discovered that is the best way to go!
 
I agree, @NancyBeck. I actually find that I enjoy the aesthetics of the cleaner, simpler pages when I'm looking back through my albums.... less distracting from the photos & stories, which is what I'm trying to capture in the first place.
 
Rebecca, I would appreciate having a 2015 buddy! Thank you. :)

Today I worked in lightroom picking my favorite photos from 2015, exporting them into folders by the month and made it all the way through August! yippee! :) The rest of the year is going to be harder to wade through as I got a new camera in September and took a ton of photos. But, I'm super glad about making a start today. :)
 
I kind of want to, but I am not sure I can handle it at the moment. I always tend to bite off more than I can chew and I want to get in a groove with 2016 first. I am hoping to though!
 
I'm still debating on my summer of 2014! I've done a photobook that covers that time, but it's not the same as having a complete book. I have my Lightroom folders ready to go, but I'm in a Start Fresh mood right now.

I will totally cheer you on! You can do it!! :fairydanceRah! Rah! Rah!:banana
 
In 2013 I took a break from traditional PL and just did a 2 page spread per month. Alas, I only made it through July. A good goal for 2016 would be to finish that up!
 
I will be, I got as far as February-ish, but I'm not sure I like the style I used so I might start again. Once the photos and words are together it doesn't take all that long (am I kidding myself, lol?). I'm also working on finishing up 2014, just a few months of journaling to do... The only year I actually have complete is 2013.
 
Oy - so behind for 2015 - don't even want to look at my notes to see what all I still have to do.. Hoping to start fresh in 2016 and *maybe* finish 2015 as well.. Not making any promises here, though.. ;)
 
I still have the last 4 months of 2015 to finish. I thought that going "paper" pocket scrapbooking would be fun, but am converting back to digital because I am sooooo behind! I also have 2 days left of my WITL book to finish printing and 4 days of my December Daily to finish. Oh I'm not as ready for 2016 as I thought!
 
Go for it @KarenC ! I've never done PL... I'm too ADHD to keep up with it and too OCD to not have it finished perfectly. I do want to try MOC though, so I guess I'll start there.

MOC is a lot of fun! I started last year thinking that I'd just see how far I could go and was so happy to be able to finish! I love almost all of the pages that I did. Just jump in and see how it goes! :)

yep, I totally understand - I had great plans for 2013-15 and it never eventuated

I think that is my problem too - I always commit to too much then falter by like March
