Project Life Tuesday


It's that time of the week again. For me to post what my week looked like. If you are here from The Mom Creative, welcome! If you found me through Facebook, Welcome!

Not much extra this week just a very simple layout. After last week's post I kind of took a break with all of the editing. Plus I need my stamina for my cousin's wedding, so I decided to keep it very simple.

Here is the layout at a glance...





 I got a 3 hour nap with my dog and this was the shot I got.
 In the picture that "looks" like I'm sleeping. I did set the timer for 10 seconds and promptly fell back to sleep. I was then woken up by the flash.

Project Life Tuesday! Prom Edition

Welcome to my post for Project Life Tuesday, you can go to The Mom Creative to see other peoples but this is my week, Enjoy! This was a huge picture week. I did find a way to include 70+ pictures into this weeks layout while only using 2 incerts.


I was playing around with my timer to see if I could get into the pictures this week, so while I was working on putting together my Project Life I captured this shot.I also didn't realize that I would be taking a ton of pictures with kids the next weekend!




It was kind of a rainy week so I took a shot of the window. And these are two of my students that always happy, so it is really hard to have a bad day when they were around.




We got to have my niece this weekend and I bought a new printer.





Dad found about 2 lbs of Morel mushrooms in the great north!




 So I crashed prom and had a great time. I was listening to the kid and I think I had a better time then they did. But here are all of my favorite pictures. Oh and I danced my heart out!!!

I did make copies of all of the students so they can have a copy as well!

Project Life April

Welcome back to Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust. One of the things I look forward to the most during the week is when everyone links up at The Mom Creative for Project Life Tuesday! This was a big week for me with Resurrection Sunday and my cousin's bridal shower. So with out any further hesitation....

We went to my sister's house for Easter dinner. She made ham with all of the fixings. I also started training for a 5K and that was the last day I ran due to shin splints. We had some snow show up and but it is gone.




 I took a Design A and cut it in half to add some more pictures from the Bridal Shower. One of the funnest things that happened was while the Bride was reading one of the wonderful cards she got from a guest about "Have a wonderful shower, your the bride..." The Bride's daughter announces for all to hear "You really do take a shower with my dad!" I thought my cousin was going to die from embarrassment!

My Dad went mushroom hunting and all he found was ticks!



I did find a Sonic and had 2 Cherry Lime-aids. I didn't get on the scale this morning a little worried!













 Lemon Ice from the Culver's = awesome!

 My dad really struggled with the idea of US dollars. He asked if his Speedway gift card that he usually put money on in Michigan would work in Indiana. I told him that 1 Indiana  dollar is worth 15 Michigan dollar, because the economy is so bad in Michigan.

Project Life: April 1st thru April 7th

Welcome back to my blog. I have really enjoyed this journey with Project Life through The Mom Creative and really enjoy looking at your pictures as well. This is a much smaller week then last week. I also have a feeling that April 8th thru the 14th will be big as well. I'm still trying to figure out how to take pictures of my Project Life without a huge glare in the middle of the plastics.


 Since I enjoy reading all of the journaling I thought that it was only fair to give you a close up of my journaling.




 I did want to keep one picture and journal card private so I put some sticky notes on top of them!

Project Life 2012

I love looking at everyone's Project Life and a lot of my Facebook friends ask what the project is so instead of sending everyone to someone else's blog I decided to show off  Last weeks and I will be posting it at Jessica Turner's Project Life Tuesday. So if you want to see more then just mine head on over there every Tuesday watch the links fill up.

To give a little back ground information on this week, my niece decided that she wanted to spend her spring break with my mom, dad and myself. It was kind of a last minute thing so I decided to dedicate the entire week's layout to her. I interviewed her and used a lot of her pictures from her camera. 

 
In the picture above you can see a picture of her fort, a chair full of her stuff, we had lunch at the Big Boy, Papa giving up his big boy bed so that Peanut could sleep with my mom, and a shot of Peanut riding her bike and you can see Papa's arm in the back ground.

I added a couple of inserts. I used a 6x12 plastic and cut a 12x12 sheet of card stock in half to print a bunch of questions I could interview her with. I took the one of the free printable from Becky Higgins and customized the Teen Life Story to what I wanted. I did ask some other questions but over all I used what had already been written.

 Here is another insert. I used Design F and cut off a row. You can see a lot of Peanut's pictures. Some are from me, but she went wild with her camera.
 More Shots from Peanut's Camera.

 I did have my mom and dad do a little bit of the journaling. They wrote notes to Peanut and I pretty much summed up the week.









From this week I learned that $50 is well spent to give an 8 year old a camera. While I have a ton of shots of nothing, I do have some really great shots that I never would have gotten because I wouldn't have handed over my camera.
