Project Life 2013: Week 50

Snowstorm # 1, hit much earlier than expected. It took us forever to get home from church (30 minutes just to cross this little bridge 5 minutes from our house)

Finally decided on a design and started making my Christmas cards

Snowstorm # 2, looked beautiful but made getting to work a big fiasco! We rescheduled several times before managed to make it there that afternoon.

Testing out my new hot curlers, I think I need more practice, but I looked to hilarious not to take a picture!

Starting a new study with Hope, super excited

Picking out a couple of fun 50th cards to send to my Uncle for his card shower!

Preparing to go out and build a snowman in storm #3!


Week 40s completed pages, very simple, both design A

Project Life 2013: Week 49

Loving my new scarf from Krochet Kids international, love how it is signed by Julia, the woman in Peru who made it and I can go to their website and learn about her, so personal, so neat!

Got a new memory foam mattress topper. Love it!!

Starting to see all the packages of Christmas gifts I ordered come in

testing lights in order to replace some burnt out ones

Using the last of the Thanksgiving turkey in one more delicious turkey sandwich!

double checking our grocery receipt in the parking lot has become a habit after too many trips back to the store because something was incorrect

Yeah! Christmas Parade day! It was freezing, but that didn't matter one bit!

Insert 2, a random 10x10 sleeve I had in my drawer that I punched holes in and added some washi tape to seal the bottom, perfect to document a lunch date after work when I left my camera in the car
