It's All About The Journey

A Project Life Page & My Kitchen Reno

Ciao!  Those of you who are still reading my blog, I hope that your doing well and enjoying the rest of the summer. :) I have never shared a Project Life page on my blog but today I have decided it was time I did. I am currently working on 3 Project Life books at the moment. This page was made for the book that I am doing for Molly and Gracie. I am using the Baby Girl core kit. Love it!

This is my first time taking a photo of one of my Project Life pages, sorry about it being crooked. The white border around it is the mat that I use on the floor to photograph still items. I will have to figure out how to crop these pages better. :) This page is all about Gracie which is why I focused on the photos rather then adding more items to make the page look more decorative.  On the backside this page are more photos showing  all about that day as well. The photos and the journaling were very important to me. If you would like to see this page larger please double click on it. I *love* making these pages. What a great gift this will be for both Molly, my granddaughter and Gracie.

Wayne took this photo of Me with one of my Project Life kits purchased at Hobby Lobby.

Next up are some photos of my kitchen reno.

Wayne and I have lived almost 11 years in our home.  The house is now 35 years old. Other then putting in a brand new floor in the kitchen, painting the walls & buying new appliances the kitchen has remained the same for 35 years.  So we are changing things out.

 

 The cupboards were delivered yesterday, they were inspected and all looks good. The demo and the installation will take place this Friday 8/2 or this Monday. I have more photos but will share them next time. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Stay cool,stay safe and SMILE. :)

A Digi Page Of Grace And My top 10 Grad Gifts

Ciao! I have a birthday card that I made and would like to share with you. I used Stampin'UP!  products to make it.  Hope you like it. :)



The top of my card looks a bit sloppy because the scoring stylus I used is a bit dull. Time to re-order some new blades. The one thing that I would changed about my card is the ink color of the sentiment. Instead of the Slate Gray I should have used Bermuda Bay to match the first card-stock layer or black. It would have shown up much better. Next time. :)


Wow! What a summer we have been having. First came the heavy rain that started in late May. Here it is July and we are still having heavy rain but with lots of storms. Which means lots of lighning and thunder. Tonight was no different. We have also been having 90-95 degree temps with very high humidity levels.  Despite the heat at least we had sun most days since last week. What a pleasure it has been seeing the sun. Now we just need the high heat and humidity to go downward. Yes, I want it all. :)

Due to all of the rain that we have had our brook went up to land line in places. So with camera in hand I went down and took a few shots of it and of Wayne in his inflatable boat. Mind you, it is at this time of the year that the water in our brook is very low. No so this year.

See the little fake looking  boat with the fake little guy in it? That's Wayne. Ha-ha.

Here is Wayne getting closer to the land line where I was taking photos. The current was fairly strong that day so I decided to stay on ourr land. Yup, I am a wimp. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope that you are staying cool, staying safe and SMILING BIG. :)

Happy 4th!

Ciao!  I had my week all planned as far as crafting went. I had every intention of making a card using card-stock, a digi card, a digi page and to work on my Project Life Books. Due to the torrential down pouring of rain each day It would have been another good week to be busy indoors. However, my week of being creative was not meant to be. My computer crashed the weekend before last. I did not have a virus so I have no idea why it crashed. Anyway, thanks to Wayne he was able to fix it. But that meant his cleaning it out and then restoring my computer again. Once his work was done then mine began. Getting my photos from my External drive,thank goodness I had them all backed up. And that was just the beginning. So, having much time for my catching up with some fun stuff this week did not happen.

Last night I decided that I would make a 4th of July digi card and a digi page. Lo and behold, I forgot to load my MDS program back into my computer. Long story short I had to get help from Stampin'UP! but they were not sure why I could not dowload the MDS part 2 update. So today they sent off a new disk to me.  I did make a card but it was using the original MDS. Oh my goodness I forgot how simple the first one was in evey way. So my card is very simple and I do mean simple. :)

 

See what I mean?  I like it but it's not the card that I was hoping to make. I hope to have more time next week so that I can get more accomplished. And to have fun too. :) 

I also have a few photos to share with you. Of course. :)

On one of the very few days that it did not rain for the past 6-7 weeks I was able to take a lot of snapshots of Gracey playing outdoors in the sun.

Grace loves flowers in her hair. Her Mom put the yellow one in her hair up on her head and over her ear on the rightside. The one on the left she put in her ear which is why it is hanging downward. But was is a 15 month old baby girl to do. :) Oh and the flowers are dandelions which makes them weeds. Ha-ha/ She loved them and thought they were pretty.

A photo of Mom (Molly) and Grace.

Wayne and Grace of course.

And lastly.........

Grace and I taking a walk together and looking for more flowers, I mean weeds. :)

Our rain is gone for awhile but our temps are going to be in the 90's with high humidity. But at least the sun will be shining. We are going to have a BBQ on Sunday and I am looking forward to that. Other then that Wayne and I will be taking it easy this weekend. I hope you have a very Happy 4th of July with your family and friends. Here is hoping that we all  have a great summer.

Stay safe, stay cool and Smile Big. :)
