It’s going by so quickly
I am getting so darn sappy about Emily finishing 8th grade. I know she's not moving away or going to college yet, but I know how fast high school goes and it just keeps hitting me that I only have 4 more years with our family under the same roof. All supplies from Designer Digitals:Finer… Read more

Thank goodness for Mondays
Our weekends just get busier and busier and I grow even more thankful for Mondays as we get closer to summer. Don't get me wrong – the weekend busy stuff is usually fun stuff! But I always end up wanting a weekend to recover from my weekend. This past weekend was seriously fun – we… Read more

Project Life – Week 14
I went radical this week on Project Life. I didn't round the corners. Yes, you heard that right. I left all the corners straight, square and unrounded.

Elizabeth is learning Photoshop
I gave Libby her first lesson in Photoshop tonight. As I mentioned last week, we've all become obsessed with Darren Criss' music. Not that I have a massive schoolgirl crush on him or anything but that man is hotttttttt. So she asked for a photo of Darren Criss and then asked how to resize the image,… Read more

Keeping up with Project Life when Real Life gets crazy
Keeping up with Project Life when Real Life gets crazy – I could have written a more eloquent title for this blog post but there's really no other name for this. Real Life is crazy right now and I keep looking for more hours in the day but can't find them. So many of you… Read more

Project Life – Week 13
This week was absolutely full of photos for me! I had a ton of cell phone photos, plus a big event for Libby. I think there are 17 photos in this and two inserts. No wonder it took me an extra week to get this done. 😉 Here's the two-page spread without the inserts. Because… Read more
