#nationalicecreamday

Like I need a reason or an excuse to eat ice cream on any given day, but the fact that it's national ice cream day (didn't even know that was s thing until this morning, thanks social media) just means that it's that much more okay to eat it for dinner!!! Am I right or am I right. Bring on all the ice cream.  Also printed out these super cute printables from Kelly Purkey. If your not signed up for her news letter then you should be. So how did you celebrate today? 

Pfoject life week 24

It's Fri-yay!!! I'm caught to week 24 and that means I'm still way behind, but like I said I've got a plan and I will get caught up, hopefully sooner rather than later. ;) This week didn't have a lot of pictures so I went with a 12x12 and 6x12 page. There's something about this format that I love, not sure why.

Spent Sunday evening over at my brothers and before I know it him, my husband, and two of my nephews were all out working on the boat that his mother-in-law had bought, trying to see what was wrong with it and hopefully fix. Needless to say that couldn't figure it out and he ended up having to take it to get worked on. Monday I skipped out on work early and went with my mom. That pineapple may or may not have been the second one this week that I had eaten all by myself, I'll never tell.

Flowers on a Thursday because it was my Friday. I love 4 day work weeks. We celebrated my second oldest nephews b-day at the house and Saturday I went shopping with a friend and finally bought a pool. An above ground one (as bad as I want an in ground its just not in the budget right now), but we've been it almost everyday since we've got it set it. So much fun. Hope your Friday goes fast and that your weekend goes slow. I'm off to lunch with the hubs.

Project life weeks 22 & 23

Hello all! Wanted to pop in tonight to share weeks 22 & 23. I'm getting caught up and I am so ready to be completely caught up with my album. I've got so many other project that sit unfinished (namely my vacation mini album) that I've decided not to work on until I'm all caught with PL. So that's a motivator for me to get it done so that I can work on other things that I want to share.

 This week were still on vacation. Oh how I miss vacation. I'm trying to talk to Mr. into going on a mini weekend vacay and soon. We'll see how it goes. We finished up in Myrtle Beach and then headed to Charleston for a few days and let me tell you, I loved Charleston just as much as I loved Myrtle Beach. Both offer such different things and I think when we go back we'll need to go for longer so we can spend more days in Charleston.

Snapped a picture of the Sky Mall magazine on our flight home. Found some interesting things in there. On Friday instead I ignored the piles and piles of laundry and the inch thick dust that accumulated over the week and went through the goodies I brought home. We had this caricature drawn of us while we were on the board walk in Myrtle Beach and I think it is spot on. LOL On Saturday was David's birthday. He had to work that night so we didn't get to do much celebrating, but I made mini snickerdoodle cupcakes for the occasion.

Week 23 we got back to everyday.

Gunner was glued to our sides from the moment we got home. Guess he was making sure we weren't leaving him again. Monday- enough said. Had to give Gunner a bath because he rolled in something dead, Oh my gosh, it was horrible and this was his second bath of the day. David had already given him one before I got home. Not cool.

We had a breakfast date during the middle of the week!! This never happens. He is either up and already at work before I get up or he's coming off nights or on those few times during the month that he gets a weekday off I'm not off and don't want to get up any earlier than necessary to get to work so going to breakfast is OUT. But this day he just had to go in for a training and didn't have to be there until eight so I got up extra early so we could swing in somewhere. Nothing fancy/crazy just McDonalds but still that was an extra 300mins that we got to hang out with each other. On Thursday all day I wanted chocolate chip cookies and decided that when I got home I'd make some. By the time I got home I had decided that it was just easier to eat peanut butter by the spoonful with a handful (or two) of chocolate chips. Just as good and only one dish to wash. Win Win in my book. Of course Friday night was date night. My favorite kind of night. And Saturday it was just the sunshine, ice coffee, a good book, and the pup in the yard waiting on David to get home from work. Life is good I tell ya. Thanks for stopping by and hanging out for a little while tonight.

Project Life week 21

Happy hump day, I mean Wednesday! Hello July. I can't believe that we are officially half way through this year. Man on man where does the time go? This is the last week of May which means I'm now only a month behind in my album Yahoo!!!

More rain, remembering the fallen ones, and packing for our vacation. I miss vacation and really think we should go somewhere else this summer. I mean we've got all of July to decide on a place!?!?

Myrtle Beach was awesome and I will be going back.

Project Life weeks 18, 19, and 20

Hello and happy Tuesday!! Wanted to share a few weeks of project life today to get caught up with sharing what weeks I do have completed and in my album. So get a cup a coffee and hang out for a bit.
Week 18

This week started out with our last night camping, then home for the rest of week. On Friday of this week our sweet, but crazy dog, Daisy was ran over and killed. We were both so very sad about it. I had to document it though, the good, the bad, and the ugly right? So now we just have Gunner. He's a little lost too without her.

Week 19

Of course this week started out with Mother's Day and on Monday we celebrated our 10 year anniversary. We lost electricity for a little while on Thursday night while I was right in the middle of make my nephews cake and cupcakes for his graduation party. Thankfully it didn't last all night and I was able to get it all finished. And of course the weekend was his graduation party and then graduation. How can I already have two nephews out of high school? Crazy I tell ya, crazy.

Week 20

This week was a good week. A whole lot of nothing mixed with a whole of everything. Going up to check out the lake since it was shut down due to all the rain and flooding we had, it was crazy how much water there was up there, hanging with David and Gunner on the back porch (have I mentioned I love that porch swing) girls movie night (kind of disappointed in the movie, but I think only because I LOVE the first one), more rain and kicking off the long holiday week with our first snow cones of the Summer. And ending the week at my nieces dance recital where we did nothing but make silly faces during intermission. A good week I tell you. That's all I've got for today. Thanks for stopping by.

This weekend

This weekend was pretty close to perfect. We both had three day weekends and the weather was great until last night when it rained, but we got the yard mowed before it started so I'm still counting it as a win. 

A few pictures from our weekend. 

- I may or may not have eaten the entire pineapple by myself ( I'll never tell)

- picked up some flowers because duh, I had a three day weekend 

- printed off this super cute free Studio Calico print to start making our summer bucket list. (You need this print in your life just sayin). 

- it's officially summer!! Bring on the sunshine, BBQs, family get togethers lake/pool days and snow cones. Let's do this! Happy Monday folks. 

You are here

Since we've been back from vacation I've been working on my mini album and reflecting on our trip. I always have high hopes that when I start an album I'll get it done that day or at least within a few days. It's been almost a week now since I've started on this one and I'm not sure when I'll get it done, but I will get it done if I would stop dreaming about SC or about going on another adventure. 

Pretty sure I was meant to be a traveler and see the world! 😄 Or at the very least go on more than one vacation a year. 

Picked up these Heidi Swapp art screens before I left on vacation knowing that they would be perfect to use on/in the album. I used one on the cover of my album and one here on the picture. I'm thinking I might need all of them, they are so cute and super easy to use. Have you used any art screens on any projects?

Hello, South Carolina

 

We just got back from our vacation last night. We headed to South Carolina, Myrtle Beach and Charleston to be exact, with my brother, his wife and daughter, and mother-in-law. I loved both places. They each offered something new and different. I wanted to share just a few pictures from both places (since they will end up in my Project Life album and in a mini  album I don't want to share the same ones over and over). First up Myrtle Beach.

The weather was great the whole time we were in Myrtle Beach. Since its done nothing but rain and flood here for what seems like weeks and weeks, it was nice to be somewhere were the sun was shining.

The Skywheel was one of my favorite things we did while we were in Myrtle Beach.

We ate, beached, played mini golf, shopped, ate some more, did the pier, broadway at the beach, did helicopter rides, and just had a blast. I'll share some pictures from Charleston later. Hope your week was a good one and that the weekend is even better! Oh, and Happy National Donut Day!

Project Life Week 17

Hello and good morning!! Hope Monday wasn't to rough on you and that today is even better. Wanted to share week 17 today.

This week started off good and just got better. We ended up going camping again and the weather was perfect all weekend long. I'm glad we got our second trip in since we may not have another chance this summer, but who knows maybe it'll work out and we'll be able to go again. And with this week that's a wrap on April. Can't believe May is almost over and I haven't even started on it yet. I should probably get busy on that.



Project Life Week 16

Hello Monday! Another new week started and another week in the books. This was one of those weeks they didn't have a lot of pictures or things to document so 6x12 was the perfect way to get it finished.

And I'm all caught up. No not on weeks, but on posting what I have completed so far. But I'm only a few weeks behind now and I'm hoping to get all caught up before we head off for vacation later on in the month because I know I'll get behind on for sure then with being gone and then wanting to work on a mini album of our trip. Guess we'll see.
