august project life

well let me clear out some of the cobwebs...

here are the first two pages for august project life. only 14 more to go. sigh. i think that's why i've been procrastinating. :) i'll add the rest as i get them done. hoping for two more tonight.

july project life

well i gave it a shot, i ended up with more pages than i normally do for a month. i think it went a little faster though. less editing back the photos for sure. i did everything in steps - select photos, edit all the photos, place all the photos, fill in with journaling cards, add embellishments and labels, journal. i was able to include more filler cards and more journaling i think. i also had time to add more details. it was fun shopping my stash!

eta: fixed spelling mistakes and that empty label! lol!

i couldn't fit easter in this spread. so i'll be doing another two pager just for easter. (hence the super simple spread.) i hope to have that at least started tonight. i'm hoping i have enough photos. eep. i completely thought i had easter covered when i was planning out this week, but i didn't! yikes!

second saturday - march edition

while most of you are taking your 12 on the 12th photos today. i completed my march second saturday on saturday. it was no small feat! i didn't remember until around 11am while driving adam back and forth from doctor's appointments.

the images are different sizes and a bit catty whompus because it is my second page in week 10 project life as well and the template photos are not all the same sizes to fit in the pockets.

here are the deets (left to right from the top)

• i caught terry and sam making faces in the mirror together - terry asked if they look alike? what do you think?
• vitamins! i've been so good about taking them every day since i got this holder. so it makes me look like a granny - i'm okay with that!
• i didn't even realize it was second saturday until we were driving adam to a doctor's appt. he had a fever for 5 days and this photo was taken before his chest xray. turns out he has pneumonia - this was minutes before he fainted in the xray room. scared me to death!
• didn't drive me to drink though! lol rob bought this for terry as a thank you for fixing jackson's laptop - i thought the light coming through the bottom of it and the label were very cool! i took a sip later - firewater really!
• the boy scout coordinator came over to talk with terry about adam and boy scouting. we signed him up and he was given his neckerchief, numbers and book.
• adam spent most of the week lying on the couch like this - with woody sleeping right on top of him.  
• what would a saturday be without a tall blonde (lol) from starbucks?
• a very unhealthy lunch - adam has not eaten much all week when he said he wanted burger king i said fine. 
• sam decided to take an afternoon bath. he was in there for an hour playing and talking.
• i took sam to barnes and noble. he couldn't resist the lorax and he picked out a book.
• oh my pinkberry is so yum. this is sam's pomegranate yogurt with brownie bits, strawberries, mango and raspberries topped with the pomegranate sauce (which is to die for!)
• one of the perks of being married to an ex-chef is fabulous dinners. here we have ny strip topped with a bourbon mushroom sauce with portobellos and wild mushrooms served with the best mashed potatoes and lovely asparagus seasoned perfectly. it was delicious!

are you doing 12 on the 12th - link me up if you post i'd love to see!

second saturday & project life week two

i can't commit to 12 on the 12th. most months of the year i'm a mole person, getting up at the crack of dawn and heading into work. coming home at night. most of my day is spent at my desk at work - not an exciting prospect for photo taking. so i decided to take 12 photos on the second saturday. :) here is my january installment. i wa sin florida visiting my brother without my family.

from the top:
words with friends in bed
starbucks chai
my brother working
bob the chihuahua
taylor!
henry
reading
facetime with sam
self portrait in the mirror
glass of wine
my crazy brother
florida palm trees at sunset

this spread became the right hand page of my project life for week two. i think i'm going to stick to that each month. i'd like to make a little flag that says second saturday - i will add it later.

here's week two...

 

supplies: valorie wibbens' pockets #3 at the lilypad, robyn meierotto's everyday kit at design house digital, fonts: pacifico, another typewriter.
