Project Life 2013 | Week Eight

Welcome to Project Life Week Eight!

This week was simple.  Just what I needed!

 Mom and I both read Safe Haven and we had a date to see the movie together.  It was good, but I was slightly let down…  I added the movie poster and our ticket stubs to document this event.  The 3x4 pockets are some random things that happened throughout the week.  Bits of pieces of life that are unique to this week.  On the bottom I put two 3x4 photos together to show a before and after of a new project mom and I are doing.  We want to reorganize and declutter our lives so I’m following The Larson Lingo’s idea of 40 Bags in 40 Days, but ours will be 40 Bags in 4 Months.  This week marks the beginning!  The photo next to our 40 Bags is an internet photo about a restaurant that burned down on the Plaza, a place we like to visit every month or so.  We never ate at the restaurant that burned down, but it looked like a really great place and it’s so sad to see that it is now gone.

This weeks song was We Both Know by Colbie Caillat and Gavin DeGraw (from the movie Safe Haven).  This side isn’t’ too exciting.  We had a snow day on Thursday and Friday and were cooped up in the house.  Of course, there was some paper shredding and snuggling from Abby and game playing with mom.  And of course a few snow/ice photos too!

Project Life 2013 | Week Seven

Welcome to week seven.

This week was a REALLY good week.

This week we found out at dad’s 180 day post transplant appointment that he is in total complete remission!  At his 100 day post transplant (November 2012) he was still considered remission, but it was only deep remission, which is one step down.  Thank you God!  On the bottom left corner are some notes that one of our oncologists wrote.  Such good news needed to be documented!  The bottom right card is some old stickers I had on hand and the arrow stamp is from studio calico.

I have another insert this week, my 12of12 grid.  It was also the day we found out about dad’s news!  Such a special day!  And I’m so glad to have it in my 12of12!

 The story/text about my 12th.

The right side stayed pretty simple. I added a little a few things from Ali Edwards One Little Word prompt.  I am just now finally getting around to this prompt.  Oops!  Since Valentine’s Day was this week I added a few ‘love’ things to document the holiday.  The song this week was Wanted by Hunter Hayes.  The love quote is from a free printable from paper coterie from a long time ago.  (I think it was around last May.)

Project Life 2013 | Week Six

Welcome to Project Life Week Six.  Because I finally received the last piece of this week I can now share my pages with you.

This week was my birthday week.

The left side is pretty simple.  I made a little filler about the superbowl with the final scores added.  I made the majority of the 3x4 slots about birthday related events; photos, notes, etc.  I asked mom and dad to write a little something for my birthday.  There is one note on this side and one the other.  I love having their handwriting in this book too!  On the bottom, there is a little note about mom’s class singing Happy Birthday to me.  So nice! 

I added an insert this week.  Our mailman (a family friend and used to deliver mail with my dad) brought over her saved copy of my birth announcement my parents mailed out 24 years ago.  I absolutely loved reading what mom wrote on the side.  I am so glad our mailman gave this back to us.  It is definitely something I will treasure forever. I also added a photo that was included in the birth announcement. (I only showed one side, keeping the personal stuff private.)

 I added foam stickers on the outside of a pocket.  They would have gone inside but I couldn't get them in a straight line so they went on the outside.  Still has the same affect.  

The birthday celebrations continue on this page.  The other photos on this page include our morning over at my grandparent’s house during another estate sale preparation.  This weeks song was Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars, seemed fitting for a birthday week.  The last photo was some fun with one of my favorite families ever!  I was trying to get a photo with the kids and their dog, Millie totally photo bombed us!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday | March 3, 2013

I usually don’t like the color prompts, but I absolutely had a blast this week trying to find the colors of the rainbow!  Maybe it is because I haven’t had quality time with my camera in a really long time.  Maybe it was all the gray that comes with a snow storm (which I love the snow part)!  Maybe I just wasn’t feeling the inspiration.  But whatever it was I’m glad that it is over and allowed myself to capture some really beautiful photos, in my opinion.
