I'M BACK!

Hi Everyone,
I promise I have not dropped off the face of the earth, ok well maybe for a little while. I had all intentions of posting once a day for a year and we all see how that went. I do have good news though, I am going to be starting a new series (that doesn't require a post everyday). The series is going to be called Project Life: Enjoying the Moments. I am going to be starting a Project Life scrapbook, this is something I have wanted to do for awhile now and I have finally ordered it. Whoo! As soon as it comes in I will be posting about it and we will get started.

What is Project Life?

Why did I choose Project Life?
     I chose to do Project Life becuse I love how simple it is. I was a traditional scrapbooker for most of my life. I have every tool anyone could ever need or want and I have more paper, glitter, markers, and adhesive then anyone could ever use. That is all good and the traditional scrabooks that I do have I love and cherish. They sit on my coffee table as an everyday fixture and I look at them quite a bit. So what is the problem you ask? My last layout was in 2005! That is 7 years ago and I don't know about you but my life has not stopped because I have not added to my scrapbook. In fact I have had LOTS of life happen that I feel guilty that I have not preserved. I am not one to just put pictures in an album and be done with it. I have to have everything perfect and if that means spending a day on a layout so be it. I just don't have that kind of now. I want to have time to live my life without feeling guilty that I am taking time away from friends and family. Now with Project Life I can sit down once a week and scrapbook my whole week. The layout is the ssame from week to week; I just have to add text and pictures. Say I went to a wedding or I was sick and didn't do anything, it doesn't matter. Whatever I did that week was my life and it deserves to be remembered because doing the laundry is just a much a part of my life as going on vacation. It's the moments that make me, me and whether it's a big event or just normal everyday things it is who I am and it deserves to be remembered. 
 
So there is an overview of what is to come with Alley Cats Corner. I hope you are as excited about it as I am.

Happy Crafting,

Monday Memories

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her value is far above Rubies. Her children arise up and call her blessed. A woman that fears the Lord, she shall be praised. - Proverbs 31

Saturday's Song

Between The Lines
By: Sara Bareilles

Time to tell me the truth
To burden your mouth for what you say
No pieces of paper in the way
Cause i cant continue pretending to choose
These opposite sides on which we fall
The loving you laters if at all
No right minds could wrong be this many times

My memory is cruel
I'm queen of attention to details
Defending intentions if he fails
Until now, he told me her name
It sounded familiar in a way
I could have sworn I'd heard him say it ten thousand times
If only i had been listening

Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
Always between the lines
Between the lines

I thought i thought i was ready to bleed
That we'd move from the shadows on the wall
And stand in the center of it all
Too late two choices to stay or to leave
Mine was so easy to uncover
He'd already left with the other
So I've learned to listen through silence

Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me be
You and me always be

I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on
Wait for me I'm almost ready
When he meant let go

Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
Always be
You and me
Always between the lines

Thankful Thursday

Today, I am thankful for a job. As the large employer that I worked for has decided to close its doors. I feel for all of the families that it has and will effect. You are all in my prayers.
