project life 2013 : week 13

April 19, 2013

This is from the week of March 25-31. It includes Easter and my day in the life record, so even though it only encompasses one week, it is very full. That’s how it goes! On the left side I tried to include all the more routine parts of our week. Then there is the day in the life insert. I really like this way of documenting this once-a-month project I’m doing, and I think I’ll keep it the same each time. I am using these page protectors which are perfect for iPhone photos, although they are smaller than 3×4 so I had to cut each photo down. Next time I will remember that and add a border to the photos…

project life 2013 : weeks 11 – 12

April 12, 2013

Another Project Life update! I was pretty behind on it, and one of my primary goals on vacation was to catch up. It took me about an hour and a half the other day just to choose, edit, upload, and order photos. Whew. I want to at least stay on top of that part each week so that I’ll have them ready to go when I get some time to put the spread together. This is the weeks of March 11-24. I took a decent amount of photos so for the journal and extras I kept it pretty neutral. Although the spread encompasses two weeks, the photos are not in chronological order so I included dates on most of them….

project life 2013 : week 10

April 5, 2013

Week 10! This is from March 4-10. Again, it was only one week instead of my usual two because I took a lot of photos that I wanted to include. On the left side is a favorite silly photo of Meredith and me making faces, a bit about my new work shoes, March’s calendar, the refrigerator oatmeal that is a new fave, Meredith shopping with David, and the start of my new cross stitch project. On the right is a couple of pictures of our shopping day with Lauren plus journaling. We bought Meredith the anywhere chair from Pottery Barn Kids and I cut a portion from the bag to include. We also got Freebirds for dinner one night and…

project life 2013 : week 9

March 27, 2013

This spread only encompasses a single week instead of my normal two. After I printed out two weeks’ worth of photos and I looked at my list of things I wanted to include I realized that I would have to cut a whole lot out to combine them so I made the decision to split them up even though it will put me even further behind. This is the week of February 25 to March 3. The photos are not placed chronologically at all; I usually try to keep them somewhat in order but this time they fit better all mixed up. So this side has photos of the fabric I bought for my quilt, my daily morning coffee and…

project life 2013 : weeks 7 – 8

March 15, 2013

I have another Project Life spread for you today. This is from February 11 to 24 and it’s a little different than the normal. These were hard weeks. I didn’t take many photos and little things happened but the focus here was our trip to South Carolina for my uncle’s memorial service. However the week before that was Valentine’s Day, so I did want to feature that a little bit. I made up this random journaling card which I like but I think the hand stitching was kind of a waste of time. I like the way it looks but it would’ve been fine without it too. I can’t wait to relearn how to work my sewing machine so I…
