PROJECT LIFE PLANS FOR 2017

As 2017 approaches I have been thinking about my fifth (!!!) year of documenting with Project Life. I begin every new year of PL with one simple desire: to complete it. Well, that and to please help me figure out how to keep my pages consistent throughout the year! Going into 2017, I'm not doing anything remarkably different from last year. I'm sticking with...

THAT DECEMBER THING
