Project Life : Week 20

Week 20 : May 14-20

This week : Parker was sick, the weather was beautiful (and hopefully here to stay) so we were outside a lot. Mark got to see his first project, solely designed by him, in person and it was awesome to see how geeked he was about it! His mom was here to help him begin to assemble a super special birthday gift for the kids. The funny thing is they have no idea that what Daddy is building is a playset for them. I've been teasing Morgan that it's a garage for Daddy's tractor/lawn mower and she totally bought it. Let's see how much longer it is until she figures it out! :)

Lots of straight stitching (until the sewing machine freaked out) and other little bits this week. Loving the new October Afternoon 9 to 5 line (which is what the 'I was here' is from) :

On most of the 3x4 slots I used my new hello stamp with the journaling cards that came in the core kit. I promise I'm done adding new stamps for a while. It's been fun and a little addictive. ;)

Pretty simple this week. Some most days I find myself still finding that balance/interest in keeping it simple and adding fun bits. Including printing photos, I've been averaging 2.5 - 3 hours to complete each weekly layout :

I did end up starting a new album with May, so it looks like I'll have 3 albums this year instead of 2. I'm working on my closing page for the first album and the opening page for album two. Will share that in the coming weeks.

Thank you so much for looking! This week I'm linked up to The Mom Creative. Check out Jessica's post for more inspiration! And if I forgot something, just ask. :)
