Project Life Weeks 11 &12

Project Life

I've got weeks 11 & 12 to share today.

Week 11
The highlights from the week: we had my nieces birthday party, I did the daily dozen with Elizabeth Kartchner, and we went on a little road trip to David's brother's house.

Week 12
This week was about the rain and of course the Hunger Games. I read the books what seems like forever ago (Thanks, Bethany) and was very excited about the movie. I thought the movie was great. It was a bit long, but I have no idea what they could have cut from it since so much was already left out. Even though I was not a fan of the second or third books in the series, I can't wait for the movies to hit the big screen.

What's that? I'm getting closer and closer to being caught up? I know!!

He Arose

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had a great Easter. We did even though it rained all day long. After church we dyed eggs and then did a little hunt in the rain. Easter is one of my favorite holidays, not because of the Easter Bunny or dying and hunting eggs. While those things are fun and all, its knowing that Jesus Chirst died for me and my sins. He died for all of us. It is because of the death, burial, and resurrection of Him that I am able to ask for forgiveness and receive it. That we are all able to ask for forgiveness and receive it so that we will one day have a home in glory. That is what Easter is about and I hope that we don't get lost in all things Easter related that doesn't have anything to do with our Savior and the sacrifice that he gave. He Is Love! I feel that love and I am thankful for that love.

A Sunday Hike

This past weekend I went on a hike with Bethany and Ros. The weather was perfect and getting out was great. This time of year here is the best time to go hiking because once May rolls around it gets
HOT. We picked a trail that I hadn't been on before and I won't go back on this on, it just wasn't all that pretty. I mean the whole reason I went was to get some good pictures and I failed in doing so, but here are a few of my favs from the day.

These two are really good sports when they hang out with me (and my camera). They are always willing to pose while I'm trying to set the camera and its always funny how most of the time they end up doing the same thing and don't even realize it.

I'm not sure if we'll get a change to again before it gets to hot, but if we can swing it I'm in.

I Want It Wednesday

bestbuy.com


I've been wanting an iPad forever. It was on my birthday list and my Christmas list, but I ended up getting something else for both. The fact is I still want one really really really bad, so of course I had to put it on I Want It Wednesday. Gotta make sure the Mr. still knows that I want one. White, 32GB, and a cute cover. That's all I need! I've started my iPad fund which means I'm saving my pennies (and David's too). Here's hoping I'll be coming to you from my new toy in the very near future.

Project Life Week 7 & 8

Project Life

Moving right along and getting caught up on PL. Here are weeks 7 and 8.

Week 7
Week seven was all about Valentines Day and my trip to PA for a mini vacation to see David. I had a lot of fun this week! It's also the first week to have an insert. I put our Valentine's Day cards in a page protector and cut it to size and then sewed it.

Week 8
This week was all back to reality and work and I didn't like. Sure do wish I was on vacation somewhere.

I do see a light at the end of the tunnel! I've also learned that I need to start taking more vertical pictures.

I Want It Wednesday

On my ever growing list of things I want is this...



from Ikea. I know its nothing spectacular, but it sure would look good in my scrapbooking room with lots of colorful things shoved in the the shelves (hehe). I'm actually hoping this will help with that problem by getting me way more organized and cleaned up in there.  So this is for sure on my list of things for the next time I make it to Ikea, which is three, yes 3, hours from me. I know right!?!

Project Life week 5 & 6

Project Life

I've got weeks five and six to share. I'm slowly but surely getting caught up and I'm excited!!

Week 5

Week 6

I like the way Amy used a stamp of the US on one of her weeks and thought that would be prefect to go with the pictures of the atlas. I didn't have the stamp (although I may have to invest in it), so I just went online and found one that I liked and printed it out. I think it turned out really good and goes really well.

Well there you have it, two more weeks completed. I'll have weeks 7 & 8 soon. Thanks for stopping by.

Project Life week 3 & 4

Project Life

I've got weeks 3 and 4 today. I really do love this project. I enjoyed doing it last year and was very excited to get started on it this year. Again I'm not stressing over it. I'm keeping it very low key and just going with the flow.

Week 3



Week 4

I've got weeks 5 & 6 next. I'm hoping to have be completely caught up by the end of next week. Wish me luck!

Project Life weeks 1 & 2

Project Life

I'm finally getting caught up on Project Life 2012. I got super behind because the photo pocket page protectors I wanted to use have been out of stock since December. They did get a shipment of them in in February, but they sold out within no time. I thought I had been checking Amazon on a daily basis, but somehow I missed out. So I decided I wasn't going to wait till the next shipment which is in April or May. I ordered the variety pack one and have been having so much fun with all the different styles of photo pockets. This year is nothing like last years and I am OK with that.

Last year I wanted to do a photo a day and I think I missed less than five days, not bad. This year I've decided that I'm not going to stress over making sure that I have a picture for everyday. I do still pick up my camera daily and take pictures, but there have been days where I didn't use a picture. I've got weeks 1 & 2 to share now and will be posting the other weeks in the next couple of days.

* I took these pictures at night so they are a little dark, but since I'm two and a half months behind I decided to post them anyway in hopes of getting all caught up and only having to post one week at a time. Sorry about that.

Week 1

Week 2

I'll be back with weeks 3 & 4 tomorrow. Are you doing project life?
