Project Life Week 1-3

As I may have mentioned, I've been working on Project Life this year. It took me a really long time to get started because I didn't have the page protectors until February! Then when I did get the page protectors, I started my book and things were going well until I lost 3 weeks worth of pictures on my computer. I've skipped those pages, but they're still in my book, they're just big gaping holes!! I still haven't decided what to do with those spots, what do you think? Condense the book? Or leave the pages there and fill with something else? I just don't know.

So, everything was moving along just splendidly and then my computer crashed, taking all of my pictures with it! Thank goodness I had printed everything that I needed for the book up to the point of crash, and everything after the point of crash was (is!) still on my camera's memory card. I just made notes on post-its for the things that had been happening in our lives throughout that time. Now I just need to get the memory card into the new computer and get printing!! Unfortunately, for some reason my printer is "offline" and won't come back "online"!!

I've decided to just go ahead post what I've got so far. I will also tell you, my pages are not at all as detailed, elaborate and beautiful as some others I've seen on line. I've just been putting my photos in and journaling about them. I would like to embellish them more, maybe later!

And so here it is, without further ado (sp?)...


Project Life : Opening Page
Just so you know, I'm using the Amber Collection with the Clementine binder.

This is my opening page, it is soooooo plain and simple, I just stuck the cards in where Becky told me to!! So many other pages that I see online have pretty flowers, fun letters, sewing, brads etc.

I did get some larger numbers on the one side for the year!

Project Life : Week 1
The year started off with 6 out of 7 of us sick! So, we didn't take lots of pics this week. I just put in a picture of each of the kids with their ages on them. The journaling introduces each of them and some of their random "likes".

Project Life : Week 2
This week is just Morgan and Connor working on puzzles and making cookies. Boring but our life!

And I can clearly see that when I get this book caught up, I must EMBELLISH!!!

Project Life : Week 3
This week brought us the only day that the kids played outside in the snow. For the entire winter, just one time in the snow!

And of course, with playing outside in the snow, comes a huge mess and HOT COCOA!!!

Ok, this is a really long post. Sorry about that and thank you so much for following me to the end!!
