Project Life, Weeks 35 & 36

Hi y'all!
Its hot here, stinkin' hot. Like melt your ice cream in 5 seconds flat hot. And it's only 30ºC. Imagine how much I complained when it was 40ºC! {belly laugh... while sweating}.
Time for some Project Life!
Week 35: LHS
Unexpected Breakfast date cos Marg locked her keys in the car at a local shopping centre so we had to take the spares and rescue her! Thankfully there was a yummy café open so we had breakfast out! {high five!}
A dinner shot- it's fun to see what we were eating in what season :)
A funny little story about how Jaimeson will walk along the drain cover after his Swimming Lesson and when he gets to the end (which is where he is in this pic) he says "stuck Daddy!" and won't move on. LOL! What a funny little chap; Potty training; A visit from Granny & Papa; Buying a new pram and car seat for Lentil (who turned out to be Flynn {wink}!) Thankfully I have a Ford Mondeo which has a Serial-killer boot, you know, big enough to stash a few bodies in {giggles, reservedly} so we could fit it all in in one go.

Week 35: RHS
Having an Ultrasound- what a tummy at 31 weeks!; a visit to Blaxland Riverside Park with Felicity, Alicia and the crew; a little story about an amazing Op Shop find- check out my gorgeous Kookaburra vase I bought for $3. It's worth about $1000. Yep, that's the correct number of 0's! One thousand! It's a Grace Seccombe vase from about the 1920s I think, totally collectable, but just so gorgeous with that little Kookaburra. I couldn't believe it was worth so much when I did the research! {belly bump!} I joked it's Jaimeson's College Fund! See Op Shopping does pay off! Hey look, Father's Day, talk about being behind in posting! LOL!
Week 36: LHS
Some sweet Jaimeson love for Lentil!; Jaimeson changing the car tyre for Daddy. This is why you have Children right? LOL!; we were lucky to be able to go to Reptile day at Felicity's playgroup! Cool!; Jaimeson's poor swollen eye from a Mozzie bite! Poor little guy gets quite a bad reaction whenever he gets bitten & swells right up, which we found out after this bite! Ouchie! Not a great condition to have when you live in Australia. {giggles}.

Week 36: RHS
Look at this gorgeous hand crochet rug I got for Lentil/Flynn at the Auburn Hospital Auxiliary after my antenatal visit. I love the colours- turquoise and white- gorgeous!; Jaimeson drawing with Uncle Vincent; Big 32 week tummy!; Banana Bread Pancakes from Pintrest- so very good! Must be time I made these again!; Voting, ugh Tony Abbot, who voted for him?? Not me! {shaking head}. This campaign "If he wins, you lose" was my favourite of the election campaigns, so I kept one of the 6 million flyers that came in our mailbox to include here. It's folded over so you can still read the whole lot if you take it out of the pocket. A family lunch with Will's family at Vince & Nat's new (now old, cos they've moved back with us again, lol!) place.
Thanks for dropping by to catch up on my PL with me!
Hope you have a super week!

Project Life, Weeks 33 & 34

Hi Y'all!
And yet another post, I'm on a roll!
Catching up with posting my Project Life 2013 pages, so here are some more!
Week 33, LHS:
The week includes a list of Jaimeson's favourite books at the time, which is awesome to look back on, cos he has different faves now! That's another awesome reason to love PL, it's a diary of my year, without having kept a silly diary (I get like 2 pages into the year and never write in a diary again, yet I managed a whole year of PL!) There is also an Op Shop Adventure, Granny & Papa calling in on our playgroup and some texted pics from Will of Jaimeson at swimming, cos he has lessons on a Wednesday when I'm at work. I love including the pics Will texts to me, cos it's showing life from his perspective too!
Week 33, RHS: Something we all have to do, every year.... Tax Time! I snuck a pic of our accountant while he was crunching the numbers. Hehe! Then we always celebrate not owing extra tax by going out to lunch in the city afterwards. {High Five!}
My growing baby bump; another texted selfie shot from Will for the album; hanging out with cousins, watering their garden & yum cha with Ye Ye. Yum!
I also want to include more of the pretty filler cards I seem to hoard in my stash, like this "hello there!" card by Echo Park. Me likey!
Week 34, LHS.
Top left pic is one of my favourites of Jaimeson, oh he's a gorgeous boy! And that was my favourite whale applique jumper that hes sadly grown out of. Can't wait to do some more shopping for gorgeous clothes in Hawaii in 3.5 weeks! YAY!! (Did I mention we're going to Hawaii? Yep, all 4 of us, for 10 days. I am so so excited!)
Other pics this week: playgroup, coffee date with my boys & a photo bomb by Willy!; growing baby bump; putting in my maternity leave form at work! {belly bump!}I hand sewed the red heart onto the turtle card, I love how it turned out!; lunch date with my boys at New Star Kebabs in Auburn. Yum, kebabily good!
Week 34, RHS
Jaimeson's newest quirk- sleeping with his blanket pulled up over his head!, playing hide & seek in our washing basket!; Jaimeson's first check up at the dentist! He did so well, was calm and did what the dentist asked, such a good boy!; is your sugar sprinkle collection as big as mine? I hope so, I love them and I love having a wide range of gorgeous coloured sugar yummies to decorate my cupcakes and cakes! A couple of food shots: Mini loaves and Pyrex in action! And a typical Sunday in our lives, Church in the morning, followed by grocery shopping.
That's our life! Hope you've enjoyed another fortnight of it!
:) C

Project Life, Weeks 30, 31 & 32

Hi y'all!
Long time no see! Totally my fault, I haven't been posting in soooo long! So sorry about that {eyes looking down towards floor}, I know that makes me a bad friend! I hope you can forgive me. I hope to post more often, but then I think I always say that. How bout I try to make it a reality this time? {cheeky smile!} Come on, check back again soon & there will be another post. I might even try to post on a regular basis! What'd that? LOL!
Lets do some Project Life catch up shall we? Care to see what I was doing in July last year?! Hehe, that was a while ago! We are up to checking out week 30 of 2013:
Wk 30, LHS
Hahaha, look how short Jaimeson's hair is in that top right pic! Such a little fella with short short hair!
And that bottom left pic was Jaimeson trying to "unlock" my pregnant tummy with a key! Isn't that the sweetest!
And I love the pic of all my work food laid out on the bench, its gonna be awesome to look back on it and wonder what I used to take to work to eat, I don't think my sandwich tastes have changed that much since High School though!

Week 30, RHS:
Mmmm churros. Who doesn't love churros?? If you've never had them, seriously, you're missing out. Delicious crispy donutty sticks dipped in melted chocolate. {Drool!} Let me just pick my tongue up off the floor. YUMMO!! We are lucky to have a Coco Cubano at Parramatta, it's fantastic. If you're ever near one, try the Dark Chocolate Mocha, oh. so. good. {double Drool!}
There is Jaimeson playing with the gorgeous Vintage Fisher Price house we got for $1 at the Chester Hill Community Garage Sale. He loves it, and so do I! And that was the beginning of our awesome Vintage Fisher Price Little People town, dubbed North Lamville Valley Heights Town. LOL! You know that place up in the Blue Mountains called Valley Heights? It always annoys me, cos how can you be both the Valley and the Heights. Worst town name ever. Anyways, now our Fisher Price town is a little ode to it! LOL!
This week it was also Elmer's 40th Birthday party, and check out Lentil/Flinder's growing bump in my pretty white floral maternity maxi! I do love having a bump!
On to Week 31: LHS
Brunch out at a café is one of my fave things to do, don't you love it? I love bacon & eggs & pancakes and delicious coffee, and someone else cleaning up {wink!} Espresso Organica at Concord is so awesome for breakfast, they do a mean Eggs Benedict, but being pregnant I had to opt for the Bacon & Egg roll instead. It was LOADED with deliciousness, Loved it!
There is our little family of 3 pulling faces again. Now we're a family of 4, we still love the selfie! How are we gonna fit 12 kids in the pic? Hhahahahahahahaha! I joke! We will not be having that many! Maybe 11. {collapses on the floor at the thought}.
Week 31: RHS
Playdate over at our friends Alex and Samira's house. Alex is a kid still, even at 28, so he had no probs entertaining Jaimeson!
Check out Jaimeson's face in that middle left pic! He really hates it when Tai Poor (Great Grandma) touches his food! I don't blame him, she's a compulsive toucher, she moves anything she stands near, even if it's only 5mm. She just has to touch it all! And she ain't the cleanest fork in the drawer either, which Jaimeson has obviously picked up on, cos he pulls this face when she comes near his food! It's sooo funny!
How about another week?
Week 32: LHS
Yum Cha with Benny. Isn't Jaimeson such a cutie, feeding his little horse some dumplings. So sweet! Have you been to Yum Cha? Yum Cha is to Asians, what a baked dinner is to the whities. It's a celebratory meal, or the family get-together meal. Some months we have been 3 or 4 times! You do tend to get sick of it after a while, but we haven't been for a while now, so it's time I marked it on the calendar again and we got some delicious Steamed Pork Buns, flat rice noodle with beef & Egg Tarts into us!
Oh yeah, after Yum Cha this week we walked up to the new Westfield cos they had the "Make your own Magnum" stand, where you paid $7 (totally worth it) and could customize your Magnum with add on nuts, honeycomb, coconut, biscuit pieces, rose petals (!) etc then have it drizzled in chocolate of your choice too. Man it was sooooooo yum! {more drooling..} Does it seem like my PL is full of food to you? Yep, me too!

Week 32: RHS
Check it out, there is Lentil!! Look at sweet little Flynn, relaxing inside my tummy! Wow, to think that was about 6 months ago now, it goes so quick!
Hey, it's a coupon dinner date too! Now night time dates don't happen too often around here, as you can imagine! Mexican is my favourite food too, and this awesome restaurant at Glebe- Baja Cantina, is soooo YUM!
Did you know there is a Williams-Sonoma at Bondi Junction? Love it! It's my favourite homewares shop in the USA & I love visiting there when we're on holidays. I was chuffed to know there was one opening in BJ, so Jai and I took a trip there while Will was doing the City2Surf. Doesn't the world seem like a smaller place now these overseas chains are in Australia too? Though, the prices are still a bit higher than in the US!
Talking about the US: Guess what, 4 weeks til we go to Hawaii!! YEAH {fist pumping the air}. I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooo very excited! We are gonna swim in the ocean, snorkel, laze by the pool, drink cocktails, shop, shop and a little more shopping, eat yummy food and chill out and relax as our little family of 4. I love our special holidaying time together, so I am sooo excited!

I hope you enjoyed catching up some weeks of my PL album for 2013! More to come!
:) C
(this one's for you AJ, thanks for the reminder to blog!)

Project Life, Weeks 28 & 29

More PL catch up! Gotta get through posting a few more weeks at least before the end of 2013! Otherwise I'll have to hang my head in shame at my slackness!
Week 28, LHS
Will made it on to the OH&S Board at work, so I took a pic of his mug shot up on the noticeboard at work! He was so proud to be part of the committee. LOL! Good on him!
Check out Jaimeson's bomber jacket and black cord pants! Dressed by Daddy!
Growing tummy!
What a gorgeous sleeping boy Jaimeson is!
Oh Boy, you should see my Veggie garden now! I have spinach coming out my ears, as well as basil, tomatos, beans and corn & Cucumber on their way too. It's so lush and green from all this rain and warm weather! Its so funny to look back at this pic and see how our hard work watering and fertilizing has paid off!
Week 28, RHS
Will is the one who always takes Jaimeson for his hair cuts, cos Will gets one at the same time. this cut Will came home with a tissue filled with Jaimeson's cuttings, so I was able to include some in my PL! That was awesome!
Oh! Super rare Date Night! They wont happen around here for a while! LOL!
This week also we had lunch at Noodle HOuse and dinner with Ye Ye and the Lams at a Thai Restaurant in North Strathfield. It seems PL is full of food this week!
Week 29, LHS
For the title card this week I got Jaimeson to draw on a 4x6 card for me! I love including little bits of his artwork. So cute!
Op Shopping this week & we had a few scores! How cute is the little ceramic horse?
Baking for Playgroup, and Jaimeson doing a beautiful painting at Playgroup! His first real artistic effort! I love the giant painting smock on him, he looks so small!
Another selfie of Jaimeson!

Week 29, RHS
Coupon lunch date (love lunches with my boys, so they appear quite often in my PL!), a playdate to Alicia's, a selfie of Jai and I, crafting time for Jaimeson and a bike ride for Will.
Once again Will provided the biking pic for my PL! I am so impressed with how he likes to be included in PL! And at least he fakes interest when I show him my pages. {giggles!}
Nearly the weekend! How is your Christmas season going? We're going to Felicity's tomorrow for a Gingerbread House decorating day! I'm so excited! And it will make a great entry into December Daily!
:) C

Project Life, Weeks 26 & 27

Hi y'all!
Boy, December already? Who stole half the year? I can't believe 2014 is nearly upon us!
I had anticipated posting some of my December Daily Album and the foundation pages I've made for it, but I haven't photographed it yet {smacking hand for slackness}! So you'll have to make do with some Project Life pages instead :)

 Week 26, LHS.
Mmmmm... photos of food. YUM! {drool} LOL! How I love Pancakes!
My weekly tummy shot, this week I was 22wks pregnant. Tiny little Flinders was in there! (He ain't tiny any more!) I loved that "mommy" card by Studio Calico, despite it being spelt the American way!) and I was hanging out to use it in my PL!
Oh look at little Jaimeson being fed by Will in the high chair. He doesn't sit in the high chair anymore and decided one day that he wanted to sit on a big chair at the table! Oh! {wiping away a tear cos he's growing too fast!} It was quite convenient cos it was about a month before Flynn was born, so we didn't have to worry about Jaimeson not wanting to give up the high chair for Flynn! He did it himself!
Week 26, RHS
This pic of Will and Jaimeson loving my growing tummy is one of my faves, and I love seeing it in PL!
Also this week was a playdate at Felicity's, a coffee date and the start of the Tour de France. I also included a bookmark that was given out at the funeral for Ric (Jaimeson's Godfather's) Mum. That was a nice way for her to be in my PL, rather than a pic of the cemetery!

Week 27, LHS
A morning coffee outing with Will & Jaimeson, meeting up with Bunny (Granny) and Papa at Chullora for Sergio's morning tea and an Op Shopping adventure complete with delicious morning tea (apparently I go out a lot for coffee, LOL!).
Week 27, RHS.
Little boys do love their big machinery, and Jaimeson is no exception! He loved the big Digger that was knocking down the house around the corner from us, and so we walked by it a few times and watched it "BANG!" the house down! How exciting!
Will took Jaimeson to the park & texted me a few pics to include in PL! I love that he helps me out with pics on the days when I'm at work! It' nice to see what the boys get up to when I'm not there {smiles}.
The king of Selfie's first shot of himself! And he hasn't stopped taking selfies since!
Amelia Charlotte is born! She is the baby of good friends of mine, and is named after me! (Well, the Charlotte bit is {wink!}) so High Five! I don't mind sharing my name!
And it was Jai's friend Piet's 2nd Birthday Duck themed Party & afterwards we called in to see Daddy at work.
Have I mentioned how much I love PL, for remembering the simple everyday things, like a selfie, the digger or the park, but also for big things like new babies & birthday parties?! What an awesome album it is to look back on! I love it! And I most certainly will be continuing on in 2014!
Are you Project Lifing next year?
:) C

Project Life, Weeks 24 & 25

Hi y'all!
Here are some more of my Project Life pages!

Week 24: LHS.
I do love this WRMK page protector, the little square pockets at the top and bottom are perfect for Instagram pics (which I take A LOT of!) plus the middle section is good for those extra pics that can't fit anywhere else.
This week was a regular ol' week for us, just hanging out at Bunnings, and at home, some everyday things around the house like Jaimeson cleaning his teeth, and playing with trains (the usual!) & I went to the Quilt and Craft show with Mum. Plus the middle section was good to fit in 4 pics of Jaimeson's swimming lessons, which I was super happy to get along to watch! I usually work on Wednesday, so Will takes him, but this time I got to go watch, and he's awesome at swimming!

Week 24: RHS
This RHS page protector is also by WRMK and has a long pocket down the side which is perfect for our "Week in review".
We visited Alicia during this week, she looks so little in these pics, compared to now! That's another thing I love about PL, seeing how the children grow up over the course of a year, a lot changes!
Also this week I used a "filler card" about what we're watching on TV at the moment. I know this will be so interesting to look back on over the years when TV shows come and go! It will be the equivalent of "Oh man, I can't believe anyone ever actually liked Beverly Hills 90210, it's so crap!" {giggles}

Week 25: LHS
I was so happy to have done the craft at Playgroup this week cos it was hand printing, and Jaimeson's handprint  made a perfect addition to PL! So cute!! I really need to handprint the boys more often, remind me! {writing notes on back of hand}.
This week we had a lunch date & Op Shopping trip to the city, there are my Vintage scores! They seem to be appearing more often in PL, I must be finding good things! {high five!} And there is also a little story on the right hand long strip of the page protector talking about Jaimeson and his love of the Home Ice Cream Van's tiny chocolate covered hearts.

Week 25: RHS
I had to censor these pics for use on my blog, you can just imagine faces in place of the hearts if you wish {wink}.
Check out Jaimeson in the bottom right pic, he's singing karaoke into a skipping rope handle. LOL! He is just the funniest! He uses lots of things as microphones- the turkey baster, skipping rope, peg toys etc. If it's remotely shaped like a microphone, it gets sung in to. {belly laugh!} Australian Idol get ready!
I used lots of cards from my Studio Calico PL kit this week, which is awesome cos I've got quite a collection of 3x4 cards, but I use mostly 4x6 pockets! It's gonna take me eons to use up all my 3x4 cards!
How is your PL going?
:) C

Project Life, Weeks 21 & 22

Hi y'all!
I'm back with more Project Life layouts for you! I know I am super behind with posting, considering this week is week 41, and here I am only posting week 21 & 22! You may slap the back of my hand {ouch!}.
Week 21: Left Hand Side.
The extreme close up of Jaimeson at top right is the Selfie he was taking on Will's camerain the pic below that. How cool is that? He LOVES the camera, and has gotten so good at taking selfies, and also pics of everyone else! He'll run up to you and say "CHEEEEEEEEESE"!!! in a loud voice, and then SNAP! You're caught doing whatever you're doing. Like one time he came in to me on the toilet, with the camera. I managed to deflect that one before it became embarrassing! LOL!

WK 21: RHS.

Just some fun times out and about with our family, shopping at Parramatta (and getting a ride on the Thomas train, which he liked until it started moving!), the park and habging out together on the lounge.
I also included a 4x6 card with words that Jaimeson could say at 2 years old. I can't believe how good his vocab is now, considering this is pretty much the complete list of words he knew only 4 months ago. Now he can say 4 word sentances! What a champion!


Week 22: LHS.
This week started with an Op Shop Safari to the Central Coast (which didn't yield very much!) but we did have an awesome lunch at a Fish & Chip shop at Kincumber! Also on this side is Jaimeson's favourite day of the week- Tuesday- which is our Bin Day. We always have to run out the front to see the Bin Man. What simple pleasures!
Granny & Papa visited, it rained so Jaimeson got to splash about in the puddle that collects on our back verandah in his favourite gumboots, and there is my weekly tummy shot. Boy, you should see it now! SO BIG!! {running hands over a tummy that feels fit to explode!}

Week 22: RHS.
Yum Cha with Ye Ye (Will's Dad). We also took the opportunity to ride the Monorail one last time, cos it was shutting at the end of June. Jaimeson loved it, and I always loved the view into the offices as you zoomed past one or two stories up! When we went to Yum Cha in the city this week, the monorail line is all gone! So sad!
This week our local supermarket got those tiny children's trolleys in, and Jaimeson absolutely loved pushing his around and putting our groceries in it! Will has to watch him though, cos he does like to abandon it now & then, when he forgets what he's doing, or gets distracted by the chocolate milk section. LOL!
How is your Project Life going?
:) C

Project Life, Week 20... a very special week!

Hi y'all!

Here is week 20 of my Project Life, and it was Jaimeson's birthday week! The WRMK page protector with the 2 big pockets was a great choice, cos it meant I could do a nice little collage of pics from Jai's Under The Sea Birthday Party! I can't believe my little man is 2!! What a fun party it was too :)

This week was my booking appointment at Auburn Hospital for Lentil! How exciting {smiles}. And also Jaimeson's first attempt at sitting on the potty, and it was productive!! He showed us what he could do that first day, then not again for ages afterwards! LOL! {giggles} It's funny having that all documented in my album. But hey, that's what Project Life is all about!!
This right hand side also has my weekly pregnancy tummy shot, more party pics and Jaimeson opening up his birthday presents (I'm not so concerned about having them all in absolute choronological order across the spread from left to right, as long as the pics from the right week are in the right spread and however they fit best, it's right for me!)

This week also has an insert page (this pocket page protector is by Bazzill) to show lots of pics from our outing to Train Works at Thirlmere to ride a Steam Train for Jaimeson's birthday. He loved it so much! And of course, I wanted to include heaps of pics of the day, so I decided to do a whole insert just for that one day. That's what inserts are for right? Yep! This is the front of the insert....

And this is the back of the insert...... Also, cos I plan on having 2 albums for each year, one Jan-June and one July-Dec, I have plenty of room to include extra pages here and there when need be. What a fun day we had at Thirlmere, and great that I could include so many pics in my PL album, cos I haven't gotten around to doing a full 12x12 of this outing yet (and who knows if I ever will, with Lentil less than 8 weeks away! Whoa! {hand brushing sweat off forehead!})

I hope you're enjoying my PL pages!
:) C

Project Life, Weeks 18 & 19

Hi y'all!
Some more Project Life pages for you!
Week 18

This week started out with a coupon lunch date at Mickey's in Paddington. YUM! We even ordered Jaimeson his own little tiny "slider" beef burger, which was perfectly sized for him! He normally just shares our lunches, but this was so cute & cute to see him eating off his own little plate of food!
In Week 18 we also announced the impending arrival of Lentil, posting this pic on Facebook of all our shoes, with a sweet little chalkboard that says "Coming this October" above the baby shoes.I was inspired by all the baby announcements on Pinterest, and I was so happy with how it turned out! {hearts rising from head}

Right side of Week 18, including a trip to the city to meet up with Genevieve & her BF; boiled eggs on vegemite toast for breakfast with bacon on the side (how can you beat that??!), and dinner with Benny, including this $500 Lobster dish! {hands slapping cheeks in astonishment!} That was a big OOPS, cos he didn't realise it was going to cost that much! OMG!!

Week 19, left side. Look at the spunky little monkey in his cool kid sunglasses! Boy Jaimeson makes me laugh! {giggles} There is my growing baby tummy- I have included a side shot every week now, and boy it's much much bigger than that at the moment!!
A trip to Granny and Papa's for Mum's Craft Sale, which has photos that carry on over to the right side.

Here we are at Mum's sale! I did a little collage in 6x6 of mum's sale, to slip into the big pocket on this WRMK page protector. I always find it a little hard to fill these big 6x6 pockets, and either do a photo collage (like here) or I treat it like a mini scrapbook page. I'm still loving using all the different shaped page protectors, I think it makes it more interesting for me! But you have to be organised and kinda know what shape you're up using to when taking pics for the week! I like to have pics that fill most of the pockets in the right orientation, but that's just me!
The right side also has a collage of Mother's Day and our lunch out to Hooters (not your traditional Mother's Day lunch place, but it was YUM!), and also an every-day pic of Will reading books to Jaimeson. I am trying to include more of those every day events in my album, so I don't forget them!

Are you ready for the weekend? I hope you get lots of time to do some fun stuff! And to enjoy Father's Day too!

:) C

Project Life, Weeks 16 & 17

Good Morning y'all!
Well Jaimeson is up nice and early, so it's a good opportunity for me to get a post in while he watches Finding Nemo for the 50 Millionth time this month. He does love those Fish & Sharks a lot!

 Looking back at week 16: We visited Jaimeson's Godfather Ric's Mum in hospital. She was very sick with cancer, and I think we brightened up her day quite a bit! This is one reason why I love PL, I love seeing this pic of us visiting her in our album, as it's not an event i would have set aside a whole 12x12 scrapbook page for. And she passed away in June, so it's nice to see her in our album when I look back through it.
This week was also the first month I got my Studio Calico PL kit in the mail, so you will start to see more SC cards come into my weekly layouts from now!

Other things this week- lunch at New Star Kebabs at Auburn- Authentic Turkish Adana kebab & their delicious Turkish Bread. YUM! The weather getting colder, BBQ and Basketball with work friends and Jaimeson's current phrases. I love to include what he's saying currently cos I know it's gonna change & his vocab gets better and better every day!!


Week 17 began with a trip to Costco with Alicia & Venice, and Jaimeson's first go of pushing a tiny trolley on his own at Bunnings. He was most impressed by it!
There's Lentil again! His/her second appearance in the album {smiles}. At least that is one good thing about being diabetic- I have lots of Ultrasounds throughout the pregnancy, so we get to see Lentil a fair bit before they're born!
I also included one of our old Address Labels (which I absolutely loved, aren't those 3 little birds Oh So Cute!) and one of our new Address Labels with the little whale on it. Good thing we were at the end of the ones with the 3 little birds on it, cos with Lentil on the way, we needed a 4th bird! After searching through Vistaprint & not finding one with 4 birds, I chose that gorgeous little whale. He's so cute! What a fun thing to include in PL.

Other notable things this week were: going to the movies on Anzac day, to see Iron Man 3. Noodle HOuse for dinner, my first weekly tummy shot for Lentil (which you get to see in PL every week now until Lentil is born! Watch that tummy grow!), the label stickers off our currently eaten fruits- I loved this idea! I saw it somewhere on Pinterest I think, and I really wanted to include some in my PL album. The fruit stickers are really quite pretty! And you can see what varieties are in season and enjoyed at the moment!
And of course, my nephew Xander's awesome Super Hero Party! What a fun day that was! How cool is Alicia's photo booth, complete with high rise buildings and cartoon clouds! Awesomeness!

How is your Project Lift going? Have you included some interesting "everyday" things like the fruit stickers?

:) C

Project Life, Weeks 14 & 15

Hi y'all!
It's time for more Project life Layouts!

So I'm up to posting Week 14, here is the LHS. This side is taken up with a weekend getaway to Wollongong after Easter, including having Fish & Chips down by the Harbour & a delicious cooked breakfast by Mum. YUM!

Week 14 RHS has mostly pics from our trip to Canberra for my Sister Yvette's 40th Birthday. I can't believe my sister is 40! Isn't that the age my parents are?? LOL!
I had to censor one of the pics for privacy, sorry!






 
Week 14 is also the week we got to see Lentil for the first time! This was definitely worthy of a whole insert! I made an insert from a 12x12 cut down to size & closed with long strips of Washi Tape.


 On the back side of the insert is this sweet little mini-page using the very appropriate Pebbles flag saying about Family! Lentil got the name Lentil cos when Jaimeson was inside he was known as Peabody, so we had to think up a name that went with Peabody! And Lentil suited, seeing as Bub looks a bit like a bean in this pic!





Week 15 LHS is all about our 3rd Wedding Anniversary outing to the city for lunch at Nick's Bar & Grill King St Wharf. We also had a ride on the Monorail, which Jaimeson loved! We had to fit in a couple of rides before the Monorail shut at the end of June! So sad!


Week 15 RHS has some everyday events, like Jaimeson learning to do his 2 & 3 piece puzzles on his own, some applique singlets I made for Jai, and an outing to Blaxland Riverside Park with Alicia and Felicity!
I love getting to put all these everyday events in an album, cos I wouldn't do a 12x12 layout for all these things, but it's nice to have them in an album to look back on! That's why I love PL the most! It's the everyday things that get recorded {smiles}.

Hope you're having a good weekend! It's beautiful and Sunny here, so I've broken out the 3/4 maternity pants for the first time in this pregnancy! I love the sunshine!

Project Life, Weeks 12 & 13

Hi y'all!

Here are a couple more Project Life LOs for you!

 Week 12 LHS starts with a dinner Will cooked for us! I like including food pics in PL, both from cafes and from home. It's especially good for a week where you don't have many pics of activities.
I had to include a pic of Garbage Day too, cos that's a big event around here. It's Jai's favourite day of the week & the Garbage Man even stops outside our house for an extra long time to wave at us!

 RHS of Week 12 has only a few pics (it was a low pic taking week!) so I included just an "everyday" pic of our breakfast bowls, its something I'm sure I will remember, but its a great snapshot of our everyday lives. I love it!

 Week 13 LHS is filled with pics of when we went to the Royal Easter Show! I used stickers of a rooster & crocodile on the title card cos they were Jai's fave animals from the show! Check out the bottom right pic of this page, Jai absolutely hated the baby goats in the farmyard nursery. Check out his face!! Hilarious! LOL! {giggles}

Week 13 RSH- Will & I went to the Craig David concert!! Woot!! {party poppers going off!} He was AWESOME, and we had a fantastic time! I downloaded the tour poster off the internet so I could include it in the mini pocket in this We R Memory Keepers pocket page.

How is your PL going? Have you bought a kit to do yours or are you just working from your stash? I started out with no kit & was just using my stash, but then Felicity gave me the Becky Higgins Wellington Mini Kit for my birthday, and I've subscribed to the Studio Calico PL kit for the last 5 months, so my supplies are quite adequate now! I'm waiting for Spotlight to get the BH PL kits in, I'm eyeing off Honey, it's so nice!
