project life 2012 : week 38 (our kansas trip)

November 19, 2012

This is from October 14 – 20, which was entirely taken up by our road trip to Kansas. I think this week was the easiest to put together because I wanted it to be almost all photos. Since it wasn’t a sightseeing trip – we basically just hung out at our friends’ houses – I didn’t need to journal much. For the date card I used a photo of the typical Kansas landscape outside my friend Ellen’s front window. On this first page I included a few pics of the journey, Ellen & I + our girls, and one of Meredith in motion at a library story hour. The journaling card on this page sums up the whole trip. On…

project life 2012 : week 37

November 12, 2012

Still catching up on Project Life! For awhile now I’ve been combining two weeks into one spread, but since I knew I’d want an entire spread for our week’s trip to Kansas I went ahead and did a whole spread for the week before that too. And thus we have October 7 – 13. I love that I’m keeping it simple now because I finished this and another spread in a single naptime one Sunday. (Funny how I measure my life in Meredith’s naps now.) There wasn’t too much to journal in this week because it was just a normal one with some everyday photos. I had one pocket to fill so I turned to my list of good things…

introducing book of lists

November 5, 2012

Happy Monday! Today I’m excited to tell you about my new little paper crafty project that is cute, fun, flexible, and ready for you to join in on if you so choose (and I would love it if you do). Because I’m suuuper original I’m calling it the Book of Lists because that is essentially what it will be. Just get yourself a book – make a minibook out of chipboard and binder rings like I did or grab a blank journal, a spiral notebook, scrapbook, anything of the sort – make sure it has some empty pages, and you’re ready to go. Every month there will be a topic for a list, and the object is to craft it…

project life 2012 : weeks 35 – 36

October 31, 2012

Happy Halloween! I procrastinated on finding Meredith’s costume this year, but when I stopped by Old Navy yesterday they had a fish costume in the perfect size on sale for $6 so my laziness has been rewarded. We are going trick-or-treating with my nephews this evening so pictures are to come. In the meantime, I’m getting closer to caught up on sharing my Project Life spreads with you! Here we have September 23 to October 6. Think back with me. Another simple layout – I am finally getting into my groove. I just need to remember to take more pictures! One of my best friends, Megan, came to visit briefly and the picture I placed right next to the date…

project life 2012 : weeks 33 – 34

October 24, 2012

I’m currently home from work with Meredith due to a sudden attack of a stomach bug last night that hit us both hard. It was pretty miserable but we are on the mend and trying to take it easy today. In the meantime, more Project Life catch-up! This was from September 9-22. I love the look of this spread; it’s clear and simple like I’m going for. I had limited photos from these weeks but I made it work. I had a day off all to myself, so I made a list of all the things I wanted to do that day, then cut it down and included it. I bought some house plants (yay) and Meredith discovered her belly…
