Week in the Life 2013: My Pre-Project Thoughts

I’ll be joining in with Ali Edwards next week (September 9-15) for A Week in the Life 2013.  I did this project a few years ago and it’s one of my favorite albums ever.  It’s so neat to go back and see what our lives were like then, and how much has changed. To me, a week in the life is all about capturing REAL life–the laundry, the dishes, the.. Read More

I’m still not fully caught-up, but here is what I have. Week 31,.. Read More

An interview with K and L….I’m a Project Life flunkie!

I’ve really been slacking with Project Life layouts lately.  I hope to catch up on that a lot this coming week, and I knew I really wanted to dig deeper into the girls personalities on my summer layouts.  They are both so unique and it blows my mind that these two completely different, perfect children came from Justin and I. I sat down with the girls and asked them a.. Read More

Project Life, Week 16 and 17

Whew! I’m finally caught up.  This project is tons of fun, but a little stressful playing catch-up.  And I definitely like the brighter colors better– week 16 just isn’t my favorite with all those subdued colors. Week 16, left side:  Right side: Week 17, left side: Right side:
