Project life 2013 // Week 2

Week two and my life still consisted of packing. This week I used a mixture of the Seafoam and Olive kits along with a few cards from the Studio Calico project life kit. It's nice having a variety of cards to choose from so I don't get bored looking through the same ones over and over.

I'm loving my Shilloutte so much! It's so easy to use which makes me actually use it. Unlike the machine I had before that I hardly ever used. Totally getting my moneys worth.

 

Project life 2013 // Week 1

 Week one was a pretty mellow week. Pretty much full of packing. Not so exciting. I did manage to capture some snuggle time with my favorite little guy. It's my favorite part of the cooler weather. Typically he stands arms length away and wants to be pet. So much for the lap dog I wanted.

One good thing about packing is you discover things you forgot you had. Like that hot pink highlighter tape I used over the January 2013...score!

Grey + Pink + Gold is my favorite color combo right now. I decided to start off my project life album this way to represent my current obsession.

I'm not sold on staying with that picture of Jeff and I, hopefully I'll be able to take a better one soon. But for now I can call it done and move on with my life.

Using my Silhouette I cut out our little family and backed it with gold glitter. It was the perfect touch! That machine is still my favorite thing. It is so much easier to use than my Cricut and I find myself using it much more because of it.

How is your project life coming so far this year?

Dreaming in spring

These past few weeks I have been fighting the worst sinus infection of my life. It has taken me out. Two rounds of antibiotics later and I'm finally stating to see the slightest glimmer of wellness. Praying it goes away so I can get on with my life. In the mean time I've been doing a lot of window shopping online. Hello spring!

Anything fun or exciting happening in your life right now?

OLW 2013: refresh

As I thought about my OLW this year I decided I wanted to have it on something I could wear. Like a little reminder that travels with me throughout the day. On Etsy I came across this shop and fell in love. One thing I really liked was the fact it was a locket. So that way only I knew what was in there. Plus after the year is over I could still wear it as a pretty piece of jewelery and even add a little picture or something. Did you choose a word this year?

Back to normal

We are finally done moving and I am so happy to be on with the next chapter of our lives. I loved this house. We lived there four years and made many memories there. I will miss it. The space, the pool and most of all the neighborhood. Who knows we might end up back there one day. Life is funny that way.

For now I am loving our new house. Much more than I ever thought possible. It's a tight squeeze fitting our stuff in here but I think with some creative organization and a few more donations to Goodwill we'll be there. Change is hard (I pretty much cried everyday last week) but it's good. It helps us grow and develop. And every now and then it's good to be pushed out of your comfort zone. So now it's time for new memories. In a new house, new neighborhood, new joys and challenges. I'm excited to see what the future brings!
