Project Life: Week 5...

Here's Week 5 in my Project Life Album...I tried putting some of the thicker embellishments on the outside of the pockets this week, and I like how it turned out, especially where it ties two pockets together.It was a quiet week at home.  This winter is so severe that going out is to be avoided if at all possible - ha... It was gloomy all week too, which made it hard...

Finish 'er Up Friday: Embracing All of You...

The page I finished this week is a Life Book Lesson I started way back in August of last year.  This is how far I got back then...  It sat, just like that in my journal, until this past week when I decided to work on it again.  I know I always say this, but - It was SO MUCH FUN!  It's a lesson by Tam LaPorte called "Embracing All of You,"  and here...

Farewell to Archiver's...

Yesterday was my last crop at Archiver's with the girls.  If you haven't heard -  Archiver's, (a nationwide chain of Scrapbooking stores), is going out of business.  Their doors will close for good this month.Here are a few pics from our day... With everything being 50% off, I had to make a few purchases...

Book of Days 2014...

I just realized I haven't done a Book of Days update, and we are almost into the second month!  Once again, I am loving my Book of Days process, and the fact that I'm not overloaded with classes this year, has given me the time to go a little deeper into the self-reflection part of the process, and I am loving that!Here are my first four pages...(background: masking tape,...

One Little Word - Aspire...

It's the 15th, and that means it's time for the One Little Word Challenge for January!  This month's word is "Aspire!"I took a bit of a reverse approach on this one, with a quote by Jodie Foster..."Normal is not something to aspire to - It's something to get away from."  ~Jodie FosterI've always felt like I am a bit different, so this quote spoke to me.  Back...

Project Life 2014, Week 1 - My approach...

It's so much fun starting a new year of Project Life! This year I'm using the PL Sunshine Edition, along with the Gossamer Blue and Studio Calico kits. I may cancel one of the kit subscriptions at some point, we shall see.I'm approaching Project Life in a more organized fashion this year, as opposed to the free-flowing version I did last year.  I'm breaking it up...

Finish 'er Up Friday - are you in...?

When I announced awhile back that my goal for 2014 is to focus on finishing all my half-done projects; a number of you told me that you were interested in doing the same thing.  That got me thinking; and I came up with an idea!  What about having a weekly blog series called "Finish 'er Up Friday?"  I could post my progress on finishing things, and invite you...
