Happy Thursday! Finally feeling a little less slumpy about this crappy weather. Having a productive day. Took Cameron to preschool this morning and then went to volunteer at Carberry. I taught an art lesson to the 6th graders there. It's always nice to be back in the teaching mode. I'm so lucky that Mrs. Proctor (my good friend, Melissa) let's me come in once a month and pretty much do whatever I want to do with her students. Tucker just comes along with me and hangs out in the back of the classroom on the beanbags eatin' some pretzels. We did a lesson titled, "Bad Hair Day", in which we drew funny faces and then used lots of different lines, values, and designs to create crazy hair all over the rest of the paper. They look AWESOME! I just love the fact that I can focus on one lesson for a month and do it well instead of just trying to get something accomplished to meet a benchmark or standard. Now if only I got paid for my time......
Above is a picture of Cameron moving in on my new scrapbook space. She put her old desk in my spot and was working with her rubber stamps today. I have come to the conclusion that this is not "MY" space, but "OUR" space...or maybe even "CAMERONS" space. Whatever it is, it's looking AWESOME! Can't wait to show it off!
In the meantime, here are three weeks worth of January photos in my Project Life book. The great thing about having all of my scrapbooking packed away is that I have had nothing to do EXCEPT Project Life. Therefore, I have been really focused on keeping up with the journaling and printing my pictures every day. If you haven't ordered one of these for yourself, it's not too late, and it's such a fun way to document the mundane and exciting parts of life. Little or no effort is required. It's easy to make it look awesome, and the price is fabulous! I heard it's at the top of the best seller list on Amazon.com, even surpassing the kindle as a must buy. Check it out!
I am branching out a little bit on this page by including paint and formica samples from my room. I also printed a picture of Princess and the Frog since we went to see that movie last Saturday night. The more I do with this, the braver I get on what I am going to include to document that day.
I love the contrast of days on these pages. One day is super super exciting...visitng the hospital to meet our new nephew, Wyatt. The next day is so boring, the only thing I had to record was more potty training. Life is such an amazing mix of activities.
So, what do you think? Any other Project Lifers out there reading this? I'd love to see yours!
Hi Becky, I think I am going to order Project Life this week...I've been organizing my pictures for the month of January so that hopefully it won't be too awfully hard for me to catch up and then maintain. I'm also really excited about the digital version, and am hoping to do some of the month-to-month books for recent years passed. Love your blog, by the way...
