Ciao! Just popping in to say hi and share a few of the pages that I've made this month. I have been using Project Life for the past four years and it is in September of each year that I begin to fall behind in completing each month on time. But I'm catching up.:) I've also been working on the book of Wayne and I and I'm getting ready to start putting a book together using Hello December from Stampin'UP! I'm quite excited about it.
August 31, 2014. Wayne and I picked Gracie up at her house so that she could spend a few days with us. It was late afternoon and she was all set and ready to go. We love having her stay with us. It's so much fun watching her run, play ball and pitching rocks. She has so much energy for one little tiny person. :) The cards are from the Becky Higgins Happy Edition. I punched out a heart and then added the word "you" from Taylored Expressions.
September 1,2014. Gracie and I have a morning routine that we share with one another until Papa (Wayne) wakes up. After she has breakfast we go into my craft room and we play with play-doh, color and watch the Mickey Mouse Club house show. I teach her new words, we talk and then I take photos of her. I love our special time together each and every month. I used the Playground set from Stampin'Up! It is my favorite and use it frequently when making my pages of Gracie. I kept this and all of my pages very simple.
On October 25 Wayne and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary. Every year in October we take photos of the two of us together to commemorate our anniversary. I love this tradition. Looking at the photos from years past has been a fun thing to do. We have changed a lot. Keeping with simplicity I used the Stampin'UP! Project Life Love Story set. I love that it is all done in black and white. I added the word Always using a die from Taylored Expressions. Again a simple page that needed just a little something.
It has been cold this past week here in NH. Tomorrow we are expected to get snow. Gone is the fall weather and in with the winter weather. My goodness this entire year has gone by so very fast! Thanksgiving is just around the corner and Christmas is not far away. Yikes! I am not ready for any of the holidays. I hope that you are.
Stay warm, stay safe & Smile BIG! :)
You have been busy. Your pages are lovely. Isn't it fun to have sleepovers with little ones.

Fantastic pages Mary. I am so glad you've been doing PD and enjoying it. The bright and cheerful colors are perfect for Gracie's pages... and the gray and black is awesome for your anniversary page... so elegant. You 2 look great! :)

Happy, happy belated anniversary! You two truly look like you truly love each other more than yourself, which is a great thing to have.
The pages of Gracie look amazing as well and she is growing up soooooooooooo fast. Good thing you've been capturing all these beautiful memories of her along the way and creatively displaying them compared to just a regular photo book. Very precious indeed. Memory eternal x3

Sorry I missed your anniversary this year. Ours is the day after and we didn't celebrate it as I am down with a blasted cold. Gracie is sure growing up fast, glad you are able to spend the time with her. Hugs n' stuff, Lynne
