Currently Catherine

I loved the idea of the “currently” challenge that Ruth described the other day. Only, since I don’t really do Project Life, I decided to open up a new diary and update it once a week with my list of stuff I’m currently into.

A book is a lot bigger than a 4×3 card, though, and worse, this book had previously been used, so I did a proper layout and a diary entry for this first page. All the rest of the book is blank, though, so from now on it will be pretty dull, as although I want to play around with stamps, I don’t want to be sticking too many things in the book (I don’t want to stress the bindings), and most importantly, I want this to be something I can do in five minutes at a pinch.

Currently Project

Eep, my handwriting is a bit of a mess. Alphabets by TYPO and American Crafts, and the paper is from a page-a-day scrapbooking calendar from 2010 that I picked up for $2 in an art supply store (I can’t remember the brand off the top of my head), which has 365 pages of frames for 6×4 photos and colour-matched accessories.

I’m super into Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney) at the moment. I’m at the final case of game three, and I’m playing about one cross examination a night before bed. It’s just so much fun, but I’m enjoying playing it slowly because I don’t want it to finish. (I’ve played game 4 – Apollo Justice – before, since it was the first one I bought, but I’ll be sad to get to the end of Phoenix’s main arc.)

The "Currently" challenge

Ruth here, back again with something quick I wanted to share and encourage you to join in too.
Kristin from rukristin.blogspot.com hosts a weekly challenge called Currently, here is her description of it:

Currently is a weekly journaling challenge designed to fit in perfectly with Project Life. It can also easily be tailored to fit whatever your personal memory-keeping style is.

Every Friday, I share my Currently list journaling card here on my blog, as well as on various social media sites like TwitterInstagram, and Facebook.
Join the Currently community and meet great new friends.  To play along, leave your link in the widget below and use the hashtag #CurrentlyList on Instagram and Twitter to share your Currently List and find great inspiration from other people around the web! Bookmark the Currently Journaling Challenge main page to stay up to date with all things #CurrentlyList.

If you click through to her website you can find a free printable page that had 6 “currently” cards to fill in. It is a very quick and painless way to capture a moment in your life Right Now. I snapped a quick iPhone photo and sent it to flickr. Filling in the card took about 2 minutes, and sharing it took maybe 5 more. Because each card is a small moment, it does not need any profound insightful thoughtful writing. It is quick and captures the most transitory and ephemeral things. The sort of stuff we might chat about with our friends but might not think to write down.

I’m not sure whether this will live in my PL album, just on the blog or perhaps a new mini-album with these plus a random weekly photo, perhaps one that didnt fit in PL? I am always struggling with all I want to include in my limited 24″x12″ realestate :)

PS I am really enjoying Jane Eyre on Audiobook, and it is free! I use an app called Audiobooks on my iPhone and it is full of free classics, mostly sourced from http://librivox.org/ I think (thanks for telling me about that one, Dad). Before Jane Eyre I was listening to Pride and Prejudice and before that Emma. Coming up on my listening list will be Peter Pan, Anne of Green Gables, Wuthering Heights and Sherlock Holmes. I also like Audible, which has good deals on subscriptions if you want to listen to the latest new and popular titles. I mix it up and switch between them. I am also listening to The Hobbit on Audible at the moment, it is such a great novel too.
