project life. week 8. feb 19-feb 25.

I FINALLY got back to my project life... ugh. I've just been swamped with a bunch of other stuff & haven't taken the time.  I'm hoping to keep doing a little here & there to get caught up.  So, here's week 8...

quick overview. funny quotes from Lydia. Interesting reading. New batting gloves for Evan. My one year anniversary of reaching lifetime status with Weight Watchers.  Leap into Kindergarten for Lydia.

Shooting up the gingerbread house. Checking on loose teeth. Starting the birthday planning with invites. finishing up Science fair with Collin {thank goodness!}. My BEST run since I started running a year ago. Working on school projects. Pizza, ice cream, game & fun with friends.

I'm not going to list all my supplies for a while, I'm just trying to get 'er done.  Certainly if you are curious about a certain thing, just leave a comment & I'll try to get back to you asap.  A good portion is either from my or Gennifer Bursett's digi shop at DHD.

I'll be back tomorrow with some new digi releases, an exciting announcement & some inspiration!

project life. week 6. feb 5-feb 11.

jeez, this took me a long time to get moving on!  I started it earlier, but then was once again going back & forth between paper & digital.  I received my prints of my other digital pages back from Persnickety Prints & loved them, but I guess I was still torn.  Finally, I decided to go ahead with the digital, but I did switch templates so I could fit more content into my pages.  These are basically the same layout I was doing in paper, but digital form.  I loved doing the paper version, but I had to be honest with myself that the digital was going to cut out a lot of extra steps for me & since this is an ongoing project, I needed to figure out what would work best for me.  so that's it... final decision! {I know, seriously, make up your mind already!} lol. so, here we go...

wednesday. a day in the life. {the photos I took I printed at postal pix & plan to do a mini book}. girl drama. thursday. valentine making with Evan & Lydia.  friday. blogged at DHD about a hybrid layout I created with digital kits. x box live obsessed boys. target trip. Lydia's first icee.  saturday. Dan & I out for the day & night with friends for a very cold, but very fun 4 wheeler party. Evan out for the night for his friend's birthday.

I'm planning on jumping right into week 7, since I'm rolling & I'm thinking it will come together quick!  whoo hoo! still loving it.  As I put the pages I had printed into my album last week, it was fun to go back & look at the previous weeks.  Funny how soon we forget {or at least I do} what we did from week to week.  How are you doing on your Project Life?

project life. week 5. jan 29-feb 4.

This week I did another set of digital pages.  I sent the last 2 weeks off to Persnickity Prints to have them printed to see how I like them. If I like them just as well as my paper pages, I think I'll probably keep doing the project digital, if not, I'll probably go back to my paper versions... my order should be here tomorrow, so I'll let you know what the verdict is.

this week started off with Catholic Schools Week at the kids' school. Collin served mass, Evan & some of his school mates represented the school at mass while Father talked about HTC. Wednesday was mass with Evan at the elementary, donuts & coffee & then the rest of the day off of school to get Collin & Evan to the dentist.  No cavities, but braces were mentioned for Evan's future :(  Wednesday I also started the Stretch your Kit class at Studio Calico with Amy Tan. When we got back home from the dentist, we noticed that there were a bunch of Cardinals & Blue Jays out our kitchen window, so I caught some pics of those.  They don't show themselves very often, it seems.

Friday was a busy day too.  Lydia & I babysat my great niece for the day, we had haircuts {& styling by Pam for Lydia, which she LOVED}.  My sister Kathy was in the hospital from Monday-Friday after having the stomach flu... a real bad deal since she has type 1 diabetes.  Thank goodness she's ok now & hopefully doesn't happen again any time soon! so scary. I added a screenshot of her facebook update announcing she was coming home :)  Saturday was lots of whatever around the house.  Playing with Lydia in her room talking about superheros, designing kits for this week & cookie baking were also part of the day.

I do enjoy creating these pages digitally, but I'm still so torn, because I love doing it with paper too... why do I have to be the indecisive type?!? lol

you can peak a few little sneaks of some products I have releasing tomorrow at DHD on the pages too :)

I started a new online class over at Studio Calico with Amy Tan... Stretch Your Kit. I decided to dig into a few things in my kit I hadn't gotten to yet.  I've been dying to use that wood veneer alpha! this picture is Evan when he was nearly 4. He'll be 10 this summer... where has the time gone? Anyway, he was in love with these red chucks :)
