project life (week seven)...

Hello Project Life week seven!


Some random thoughts...

1. I love the Cobalt kit. I reach for those multi-colored cards again and again.

2. I don't love being behind with my spreads. We were out of town until Tuesday so I just got to week seven today. I like having last week's spread done by Monday morning (at the latest) so that I can start gathering and printing for the current week by Tuesday. Hello OCD tendencies.


3. This week was a particularly big mish mash of Valentine's Day and a last minute trip to Disney (My husband had some meetings down there and we tagged along with him). There's not a lot of extras this week. I'll save those for a slow week. :) And because of the extra mish mash of stuff I included a larger journaling card to "explain" everything in case someday we/I forget why something is in there. :)

4. I'm waiting on my Disney PhotoPass CD to arrive. Once it does, I'll add another layer of plastic in there.


5. Our trip was Thurs-Tues. I debated just focusing on Valentine's Day for week seven and leaving Disney for week eight but decided to stay authentic in my weekly spreads. I included Disney pics from Thurs to Sat in this spread and week eight will mainly focus on Disney pics from Sun to Tues and lots of Disney "stuff". You've been warned. :)

6. I didn't realize how much I would love adding layers of plastic in there. Seems kind of bare when I don't.



Moving on to week eight! I'm determined to be "caught up" by Sunday. :)

  2. A last minute surprise trip to Disney? I'm SUPER jealous!!! And I love the idea of keeping a sample of the kids store bought Valentines each year. I would love to look back and see what I gave out in school as a kid. I will have to do that from now on.
