Project Life Update

Hello & Good Day!

I'm sharing a few weeks of Project Life today. They're from a few weeks ago but I've accepted that there's just no 'keeping up' with it for me! So, instead of feeling guilty about not 'keeping up' I'm embracing getting a few more weeks done each time I sit down.

So here's the end of our September-which was pretty awesome!

Here's September 16-22:

I'm discovering- maybe a little too late-that the key to getting this done in a timely manner is writing on the pics as I edit them in Photoshop. That seems to cut down on a lot of my work when I put it all together.

You can see that I'm working on some of my September goals...

And I'm printing the journaling with the developer as well. Makes it that much easier.

This week's highlights include: Meeting a moose, lots & lots of walks with Eugene & M, lots of reading & some pizza throwing!

Here's September 17-30:

It's incomplete of course. Those two blocks on the extra page protector are for my blog entry about Crop & Create Ottawa and my experience meeting Kelly Purkey and discovering that she really is as awesome as her online persona portrays her to be!

The first page is dedicated to Sunday-Thursday. We had some puppy dates, hangs at the beach and Eugene decided he wanted to come to Ottawa with me!

The extra page protector & the second page are dedicated to my weekend in O-Town.

Lots of little sticker tags for a little note here and there this week!

Highlights include: Seeing my favs at March Academy! Meeting KP & sharing doughnuts. Seeing Vicki again because she just makes me giggle uncontrollably. Brunch with some of the best Ottawa peps in town. Staying at a besties house and having late night chats-she even let me gush about scrapbooking!

Doing PL reminds me how full life is every week. I always feel like I don't have enough to fill the week until I upload my photos from my iphone (a.k.a my #1 Project Life tool!)

Are you participating in Project Life? How do you do it every week? Any tips or tricks would be helpful!

5 For Friday

1. I wanted to share the layouts that I made in the class I took from Kelly Goree at the Crop & Create in Ottawa. She was too cute and her layouts were easy to replicate and are exactly what I love-lots of layers. She has a knack for combining pattern papers.

I've finally added photos and finished two of them. There's one more but it still needs some journaling so I'll share that one when it's done.

2. Have you seen Kelly Purkey's December Daily album kit? If not, check out her instagram feed. If I could marry a kit this would be it. It's such a beautiful combination of exclusives from small shop owners. I love that she's showcasing some special talent that's out there! I WILL be ordering one. 

3. More Kelly Purkey love-new stamps at Simon Says Stamp. Probably going to grab this one and this one. She really should just take my money when she makes the decision to create something.

4. Selling a bunch of stamps at The Paperie's stamp sale tomorrow. There will be lots of exclusive SC stamps from older kits. It's worth coming to check it out. Doors open at 10:00!

5. Tonight we're going to a Halloween party. I'm pretty excited to debut our costumes. I've been working on them tirelessly all week long. They're pretty cute!

Have a wonderful weekend. Enjoy any Halloween festivities you might have going on this weekend!

xoxo
