Project Life 2013 Weeks 1-2

So, I've been scrapbooking for awhile now. Unfortunately, I suffer from the debilitating disease known as procrastination. Pepper that with impatience and failure to take pictures at all momentous occasions and you've got one frustrating experience. I have been searching and searching for a more basic approach and finally I have found it! Project Life.
I don't have to spend hours arranging pictures and embellishments and borders on a page until they're just right. I just slip my pictures and journaling into pre divided pages and I'm set! Even better, I am forced to take pictures!!
The catch? It is pricey! And for a broke college student this is enough to abandon the idea before it even gets pursued.
However, I consider myself fairly inventive. And I know quite well how to work with no money. And so I decided to go ahead with it anyway. Completely DIY style. Hand sewing the page protectors and making cards from scrap paper. It's taken some effort I will admit- and often times I think if I stab one more of my fingers with a damn sewing needle the project will become in danger of abandonment once more.
I am now two weeks into the project and very excited to start to put together week 3 tomorrow.

So here it is, my progress thus far...
