Project Life Wednesday {catching up}...

**Thanks June for pointing out my wrong date!!  I fixed it (not sure what I was thinking), LOL**

Hi all, 
Its looking like Wednesday is going to be my Project Life day. I have been on a roll, and I am almost caught up with 2012~woot!  Here is my Thanksgiving layout (and you thought I was late with my Christmas page, LOL!!).

When I was scrapping this layout, I realized that I didn't really take many photos on thanksgiving (not sure why~I must have been filling my face and having fun), which made putting my page together really quick!!  

We also took our annual Christmas Family photo that same morning (which I will NEVER do again!!), and decided to make a page to include the outtakes, which make me laugh every time I look at them!!  I seriously LOVE my crazy family!!

From Left to Right:
1.  Wore my bubble necklace this week...found it on the cheap...HERE.
2.  Currently snacking on THESE.
3.  Was posting a payment at work and had to laugh at the little note written on the invoice~ why, YES!!  I would love to win the lottery!!
4.  Lots of rain this weekend!!  Which was OK, but I am ready for the sunshine!!
5.  I took Hershey to his grooming appointment on Friday; Isn't he cute sitting in the seat?  unfortunately he is not a fan of getting a haircut!
6.  Lunch with my hubby at the Garage on Friday.
7.  Mike and I went out for Breakfast on Saturday morning, I had to use the new app I downloaded for my Project Life page.  Instaweather  You can find it HERE.  I love that it records the time, location weather and date!!
8.  Our coffee maker has been on the way out (it gets quite a workout at our house!!)...I bought a Keurig about a year and a half ago, you may remember it, if you have been following my blog for a while...if not, you can read about it  HERE.  Mike was NOT a fan of it.  Well we went to Bed Bath & Beyond on Saturday buy a new coffee maker and saw the Keurig VUE, Mike said we could give it another try, since it claims it has stronger flavored coffee and brews travel mugs~so far so GOOD!!  and I LOVE it!
9.  We celebrated our anniversary at Caraba's and I could seriously make a meal out of the bread and olive oil!!  Any others with me on that?

Enjoy Today!!

birthday buttons...

Happy Friday!
I have a quick card to share today!!  My Mother in Law celebrated her birthday on January 15th and this is the card I made for her.  I found the idea on Pinterest on how to piece a die together like a puzzle...I am liking this quick and easy focal point!  

 I have the day off from work today (which I am super exited about!!).  Mike and I are celebrating our anniversary today.  So we are hanging our togther~I am hoping to also get some time to work on my Project Life album too...cause I am almost caught up with 2012~woot!

Have a FABULOUS weekend...and Enjoy today!!

{Project Life} Christmas Scrapped...

Hi all! 
I sure hope you are not getting tired of seeing my Christmas photos!! I am trying to get caught up on my Project Life album, so I can start my 2013 Edition. I am trying to decide how much I want to do with my PL album this year.  I don't think I have enough exciting stuff going on to do a week by week spread, but I am def hoping to take more photos than I did in 2012!! It was a crazy year for me, adjusting to my new job/schedule. I think I am finally getting it figured out!! 

 Are you doing Project Life this year?? 

 I LOVE that you can make it exactly what you want!! 

 Full Page 

Left page

Right Page

And I must have been on a roll, because I just realized that I am short a page, because I decide to add this full size page of our family~but like I said earlier!! You can make it what ever you want!!   I am going to add it to a page protector by itself, since I probably won't make another page to make it a traditional  2-page spread. 

Flexibility gotta love it!! 

  Enjoy Today!!

I am working on linking up my supplies in the future if you are interested?!  

I get a lot of free stuff on Pinterest!!
