Project Life Week 14 and Taylor's baking

I really, really need to figure out how to take photos of Project Life before I put it in the sleeves.  The glare from the light totally ruins the photo.  But if I turn out the lights, it doesn't help much either.  If I lay everything on top and try taking the photo before inserting in the pockets, everything slides around and doesn't look good either....what to do?  Maybe try photographing during the day when I don't have the lights on.  That might work!

I am not sure why I didn't keep all my worksheets for Project Life.  I've started making more notes about what goes on during the week so I can do the journaling, and thought...wow.  I could just save these sheets and sort of have a journal...short, short, short journal...but...so now I'm saving them.  I already have two.

The layout below is one I started last October at the retreat and finished when I got home.  I'm still posting a lot of those layouts because I got so many started.  This spring...not so good.  I think I actually worked on three (3)...not common for me.  But, I had to do the cooking this time, and it seems like all I did.  The good thing about it though, was that I got to spend a lot of time visiting with different ladies as they came and went in the kitchen.  That part was way fun.

Taylor made these cupcakes for my birthday, and brought them down.  He and Christ were going to spend time with their dad, and made a special trip to drop off these treats.  Aren't they wonderful?  I was so excited about them.  Taylor told his mother I couldn't STOP taking photos.  He was pretty good about letting me do it.

Treven's birthday party

 

This layout came out of a CTMH book, and I loved how I could do the fold out and include so many more photos.  That made it nice.  I would not do it very often, because it does make the page quite thick.  But for a special occasion where I had a lot of photos that I wanted to use, it was cool.

Project Life week 13 and Kylee's Birthday

This was the week Robin and the boys came down and helped me get started with Project Life.  I'm so glad I'm doing it.  I just finished week 18 today...even though I feel like crap with a cold and sinus infection. 

This was Kylee's birthday and we loved being there for it.  Isn't she a cutie?

Project Life Week 12

I have these totally out of order...this is page 2, below is the two page spread, and below that....page 1.  Yeah.  I'm really with it.
This was the week that we had a retirement dinner for Jeff and the employees in Twin Falls on Thursday night, his retirement party/luncheon on Friday at work, and then we got up early and drove to SLC for Chris's robotics competition on Saturday...in a blizzard I might add.  It was a super busy week.  But so worth it!

Project Life Week 11 and another layout

I'm getting caught up on posting my Project Life...I did week 17 this morning.  Right on time.  Didn't really have very many photos this week, and I saved the tickets from the Bar-J Wrangler concert we went to last night to use....then washed and dried them.  Real bright huh?  Jeff & I went to a Grandparents day program at Rupert Elementary, and I forgot to take my camera.  I did get a program I could include though.  Not doing real well.  I promise myself...I will take more photos this week.

This is another layout I finished after the retreat in October, and I'm finally getting some of those posted again.  Jeff's parents like to go 4-wheeling with us, and his brother Steve loves to come up and spend time with us.  This was over labor day, and we went up to Arco again.  We fixed chicken fijata's and salsa with chips, and Spanish rice and a salad.  I also made a raspberry cream cheese pie.  I think everyone really liked it!

This cave is on the way back from Iron Bog, and I've always wanted to stop and explore it, and this time Steve pulled off and we did.  He was brave enough to crawl in it, but I wasn't.  I don't like things like that.  Just looking in is enough for me.

Project Life Week 10

Jeff and I drove up to Drigg's to visit his uncle whose health hasn't been real good.  We went through Soda and into Driggs/Tetonia.  Jeff went to school in Tetonia and while he was filling the pickup with gas, I took photos of the school, the church he attended, and the mountains that he could look at every day.  He loves the Tetons.
