December Daily : Stories 3 + 4

Not all of my photos and stories in my December Daily album will revolve around Christmas. My third story is one that does not, per say. But it does bring me lots of joy, so I guess that does embody the spirit of the season! I’ve adopted a row of... Continue reading

2020 Family Yearbook : July Pages

Seven months down, five to go. Can 2021 get here any faster??? Right before I started to type out this post, I read on the interwebs that the Big 10 has cancelled the 2020 Football season. We just want to cry. 2020 gets a 0-star rating from us. Seriously 2021,... Continue reading

Family Yearbook : May Pages

2020 is moving right along, although probably in not a way that we planned. Am I right? I mention in my journaling on the Monthly Journal Block for this month that as the days go by, they feel like Groundhog's Day. Not much changes from one day to the next... Continue reading

Week In The Life 2020
Image
This year I participated in Ali Edwards' 7-day documentary project, Week in the Life. While I try to capture details of everyday life in my Project Life family yearbooks, this Week in the Life project is more of a deeper dive. More photos, deeper, meaningful stories. Although Ali and many... Continue reading

HI Jennifer! Thanks for your comment! Criticism not taken at all! So I first started using PowerPhotos and breaking up my library into separate ones by years back in 2011. Back then we were living overseas and the only computer I had was my Apple MacBook Pro (along with my 2nd generation iPad and an iPhone 3). Also at this time, Apple was still using iPhotos and PhotoStream. I probably had four or five years of photos in my iPhotos library at the time and it was really slowing my MacBook Pro down. So slow. Most of the memory on that laptop was being taken up by pictures, so I knew it was time to do something about that, and that is when I found PowerPhotos. Back then, having the separate libraries was a way to alleviate any memory or storage issues. Fast forward to today, storage/memory isn't really an issue for me anymore, but having the separate libraries is now just a personal preference. I totally understand that the current Photos is able to separate photos into years. I have many ways I separate photos within my library to find what I need. But honestly, I just don't see the need to keep a bunch of years in one Photos library. As far as scrapbooking goes, years 2016, 2018, and 2019 are done. 2017 is still in progress and I am working on 2017 and 2020 concurrently. For the photos I need in 2017, I will just open that library on my computer and export photos to a folder on my iCloud Drive to use them in the Project Life App, Affinity Photo, or other apps. Does this help answer your question? Let me know!

Thanks Carla! The National Parks are just beautiful! We visited several out in California when we lived there when the kids were little. Now we want to go back and see them all over again! Kelly

Hi Jill! Yes, I use a combination of 3x8 page protectors and just punching holes in the photos myself for those pics not in page protectors. I don't punch the holes into the photos until I adhere whatever photo will be going on the other side to it. Does that make sense? I got a little confused when you said "So there is nothing but whit on the other side." Kelly
