My Project Life Week 1...

I sat down last night and finished up week 1.

I'm taking Cathy Zielske's online class Move More Eat Well Jumpstart.

Instead of doing a whole other album for just that I'm going to include it in my regular album.

It will make more pages, but oh well.

One of our assignments was to take a picture of our self.

I try and do this at the first of the month anyways so it wasn't stressful for me.

I have the first picture and this new picture taped on the shelf right above my computer.

So on those days when I feel I'm not getting any where. 

I can SEE the change.

Of course I had to include a few photo's of the grand kids.

It wasn't a big picture week for them.

They are currently into grabbing at anything that may look like a camera or phone.

So getting a picture of them is hard.

I'm also taking Ali Edwards class One Little Word.

And again I'm just going to include that in my regular album.

My word for the year is CHANGE.

These two sheets are suppose to go into an 8.5 x 11.5 page protector.

But I made up my own sheets that I could print on an 6 x 11 sheet of card stock.

I added little strips of paper at the top and bottom so they would be 12 long.

They can now go into the 6 x 12 project life pocket pages.

Week 1 down.. 51 to go..

A Day at the Deer Park...

My husband caught this cute picture of 

Natalie and Lexie 

holding hands while watching the animals at the deer park on Sunday.

It was a super fun day.

I'm sure we'll be returning many times.

Pictures on the Wall...

In my work area I have this wonderful set of frames

hanging on my wall.

I got  3 or 4 Christmas's ago.

It's been so long I can't remember.

My husband was so good to hang them up right away.

They have been hanging on the wall the whole time

with my pretend family in the frames (the ones that came with the frames).

I spent yesterday searching through pictures

and picking the perfect ones for each frame.

I had to look through hundreds of photo's.

But I filled each one with a picture of my precious grand daughter's.

I even seen a couple I'm going to print out 

and give to their mommies for Christmas

presents from them.

Now to find the perfect frames.

Accomplished!

So proud...

Ashley and Natalie and a Freebie...

This is my daughter Ashley and her daughter Natalie.

Natalie hardly ever smiles for pictures she's to busy trying to get to the camera.

It's an interesting gizmo, she must see.

So this is a special photo.

She is actually sitting still (for 3 seconds) and looking at me.

I use a Simple Stories 6 x 8 album for my grand daughter's albums

and there aren't that many photo templates for that size.

So I was fiddling with making my own.
