Project Life * Week 1 *

Hello and welcome to my take of project life. Here’s a peek at my cover page.
 Week one…a fun filled week!
Last year I bought Becky Higgins project life kit. In February I lost interest and there it sat. So when I decided to take a second run at it I choose to work with the old kit. I still love the papers and colors. Plus its way easier knowing everything will match. It takes all the guess work out of it.
I need to keep it as simple as possible because I know myself…if it takes too much time I won’t be able to keep up. Although I will be mixing in stuff I have on hand, along with bits and pieces of stuff I collect throughout the year, the bulk of it will be based on the kit.
Happy scrapping!



I’ve still got…

the spirit of Christmas in me. Yes, every decoration is still up and I’m still listening to a little Christmas music. After being at Disneyland yesterday (which is still decorated for Christmas!) I was inspired to do a post showing some of our decor. So here you go, a peek of Christmas at our house:
Living room
Family room
Card tree in hallway
Front door
When I’m putting everything up it doesnt seem like much but the thought of boxing it all back up is a little overwhelming. That’s my task for saturday while I watch the first of the playoff games. Yay for football!

Goodbye 2011

This year has been good to me. Here are some of my favorite moments from this year:

This year I have felt so blessed by all I have got to do and all the time I have been able to spend with my family and friends. They mean the world to me! May your 2012 be even more wonderful then 2011! 

I love scrapbooking!

This week I have been catching up on my December daily album and preparing project life 2012. I’m so excited to start project life this year! Last year I started it late so I felt a little unprepared and rushed. But not this year! I can’t wait to start! This glass bowl sits on my table and is the collecting spot for all my new/products I want to use in my book. It’s super easy since I can see through it.

As for my December daily it’s in progress. This is the first year since I started doing DD that I didn’t work on a single page until after Christmas. Next year I am for sure going back to doing a page a day. It’s way easier! This December just got away from me.
Even though I kept a journal of my daily activities/what I wanted to document each day I feel like details are lost. I love looking back through previous years books to see similarities and differences.
I’m very sad Christmas is over, like very sad but it will be here again before we know it! Enjoy your last few days of December!

Oh December

So far this December has been fun, busy, and full of projects! For some reason I have had a really hard time getting started on my December Daily. Which is weird because I have been waiting for December first so I could start it since like October! Hopefully today I get inspired and start driving on! One thing I have been doing (a tip for those of you have a hard time like me) is everyday take pictures and keep a journal of which pictures you want to use for each day. That way you don’t forget what you wanted to journal about. 
 Here is a glimpse of a tree I made to hold all of the cards we receive.  
It was inspired by a photo I saw on pinterest. Using old wood and cut offs of crown molding my husband had laying around I painted each one different. Added a star and some lights and whala! A place to hang all my cards. Let the cards roll in!

Thanksgiving week

Last week seems like it was so long ago and at the same time like Thanksgiving hasn’t passed yet. How is that possible? It was jam packed full of work and fun! Here are some of the highlights:

My last picture being 27…haha not a very good one, it was super late!
 Christmas card photo shoot (more to come!)
 Thanksgiving at our house with our thankful sign
Up close of Jeff’s sign…he’s so silly!
The weeks other festivities included 3 birthday dinners, bowling with my family, thanksgiving at my inlaws, and a all night shopping extravaganza! Now to get it all in my Thankful album 🙂
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!


Getting organized – mission my office

As things are getting busier I feel like I need to get organzed before I loose my mind! With losts of orders coming in and craft fairs to do I needed a place to keep track of all my orders. I made these clipboards to hang in my office next to my packaging area.
Now in a glance I can see what I need to do to stay on to of things.
