Digi Project Life | Week37

Big week for us this week ... we celebrated my darling daughter's 14th birthday ... IOS7 came out (we were all thrilled about that) ... my daughter ordered new contacts which helped her get rid of terrible headaches ... we scheduled my son to have his impacted wisdom teeth extracted ... and my son got a new video game which made him extremely happy but caused me emotional turmoil to say yes he could get it.

It was a good week for everyone!

I used Mye De Leon's Dandelion Wishes kit for this week's pages. I loved the colors! They are bright, but still perfect for fall-ish photos!

Cousins | Then & Now (1978-2013) (... Make Lemonade)

Ahh ... when life gives you lemons, make lemonade! That's what they say, right?! I was heading out to work this morning. I pulled my car out of the garage and it felt "funny." I thought I'd better stop and take a look-see. I was right. There was something "funny." I don't think that funny is actually the right choice of words though. I had a flat tire. Not the end of the world obviously, but it did change my plans for the day. Upon more detailed examination I could see a screw in one of my front tires. I decided it was Friday, maybe I should have a long weekend. I decided to spend the day at home. That's the part where I "made lemonade!"

My son had a friend over last night and they were going to hang out all day gaming while I was at work. (My daughter spent the night at a friend's house.) I'm pretty sure that my hanging out at home all day wasn't in their plans, but hey, what do you do? I said I was making lemonade; not that I was making lemonade for others. My dog liked me being home. I took her for a walk and I made the boys take her for a walk too. (That's was the time when my son mentioned that when I said I was staying home I said I would let them do their thing and not "bug them." I agreed, but I said that they still had to walk the dog.) LOL!

ANYWAY ... since I stayed home I decided to do a little scrapbooking. Here's a page I put together today:

P365 - Week 53: December 31, 2011 (This is it!)

This is it! My last layout for my 2011 Photo of the Day book. I've got to tell you, I love taking photos every day. Every so often I go back and look through some of the prior weeks pages and I just love it! So, here's my final page for 2011. I think after I hit "publish" I'm going to (1) page through my 2010 book and then (2) head on over to Shutterfly to finalize my book for print.

It's always hard for me to wait for my book to come back from the printer. I'll share a photo of the actual book when I've gotten it back!

Have a great day!

Just for fun I think I'll post the final page of last year's POTD book to show what a difference a year can make. Hmmm ... my kids seem to have gotten a bit taller!

Now to put some thought in to how I want to format my 2012 book ...

P365 - Week 52: December 24 - December 30, 2011

Wow! Only one more day left in 2011. Happy New Year everyone!

P365 - Week 51: December 17 - December 23, 2011 (updated)

P365 - Book Cover & Intro Page

2011 is fast coming to a close and I've been keeping up with my photo of the day project. (Yay!) I'm really striving to be able to send my book off to print at Shutterfly ASAP. (I'm striving for January 1st!) If I'm going to attain that goal, I need to get my album cover and intro page ready to go now. (Last year the cover and intro page were the reason it took me an extra week or so to send off my book.) Not a big deal ... I know ... but I'm excited to have my book in hand!

Anyway ... here a peek at what I'm thinking my album cover will look like:

Here's a peek at what I'm thinking of doing for an intro page. I feel a bit odd including a picture of myself, but I'm not always in a lot of pictures and Scott says that since I created the book, I should be on the cover. He's so sweet!

Supplies: I used Paislee Press' Adorned kit for the papers inside the book. For the album cover I used Paislee Press' Adorned and Photobooth kits. (I love her stuff!)

P365 - Week 50: December 10 - December 16, 2011

Oh my gosh. The year is flying by. Week 50 already! Wow!

P365 - Week 48: November 26 - December 2, 2011

I can't believe Week 48 has come to a close already and it's almost the end of the year. I do have to say that I definitely still enjoy this POTD project and I'm sure I'll be taking a POTD again next year. What fun!
