Ramblings of a Stay-at-Home Mom

Welcome to Project Life 2013 - Week 45 (November 3-9, 2013)!! Again, more simplicity this week. I actually liked using the Design F page protector on the left side as it challenged me to use more filler cards as I didn't have enough journaling.   All the journal cards is from PL Cinnamon Kit with some washi tape (I'm not sure where it's from as I got it in the $1 bin at the local scrapbook store). The Love stamp is from a free e-mail subscription I get. The bedtime stamp is from Ali Edwards This Time . Simplicity for the win!

Welcome to Week 44 of Project Life 2013 (October 27 - November 2, 2013)! Not much happening this week, except for Halloween and getting as much family time as possible.   I kept this week pretty simple. Again, lots of embellishments aren't really my thing, but I'm not sure I like the look of none. Guess I'll be playing around to see what works for me.   All title/journal cards are from PL Cinnamon Kit , except for the Currently card which is from A Little Grace and Mercy .

Welcome to Project Life 2013 - Week 43 (October 20-26) Slowly but surely, catching up. My goal is to totally caught up before we leave on our family vacation on Sunday. Eeek! Never mind packing for all of us and I work on Saturday. Full layout. Left side of layout.   The Title Card is from  PL Cinnamon Kit with Lavender Stickles on there. Violet's Birthday Card was made by me, with a My Little Pony Theme. And I found the Quote online. The big thing this week was Violet's 2-year birthday party. It was a come and go at our place with friends and family invited. Yes, it was My Little Pony themed. Violet's totally into them right now and even has herself a Rainbow Dash from Build-A-Bear Workshop. She ended up getting about a dozen more ponies in various sizes and she was thrilled and over the moon. As usual, Keith's aunt who does cake decorating for a living, made the cake for her as a birthday gift. She even mentioned that this would be an on-going birthday present fo...

Welcome to Project Life 2013 - Week 42 (October 13-19, 2013) I finally printed out the photos that I needed for the next couple weeks, so be prepared for more blog posts with PL. I know I don't really blog about much else right now. I'd like to, but finding the time when I don't have a 2-year-old wanting my attention (or sleep for that matter), work or spending time with the Hubby, regular blogging kind of takes a back seat. I do have some other blog posts in the works, just please be patient with me. On to this week's layout. Full layout Left side of layout. The Title Card is from Project Life Honey Kit with the font Janda Happy Days. The Heart Frame is from  A Vegas Girl Hand-Drawn Overlays . The Journal Card is from  Project Life Cinnamon Kit and the Quote I found online. This week covered our Canadian Thanksgiving and making plans to head to the States just before Christmas for a week of family vacation! Right side of layout. The Journal Card is from Project Li...

Welcome to Day 3 of December Daily 2013!   Our plans originally today were to go to the city after Keith was done work. We changed them once we saw the weather and decided that we'd go a different day. So instead, I went and made and ordered our Christmas cards. I was able to print a couple off at the local printer to make sure that they turned out OK. And they did!   The Journal Card is from Merry and Bright  and I designed the card myself with one of the family photos that we had done at Violet's 2-year photo shoot.     Here's a look at the actual card:       LOVE IT!

Welcome to Day 2 of December Daily 2013! This month I'm playing along with Ali Edwards in December Daily , documenting the entire month of December. Even though today's thing wasn't Christmas related at all, it's still worth documenting and remembering (although I didn't get the photo I wanted. Boo!). We don't go down to my Meme and Pepe's house often enough, so when my Mom invited me and Violet to come along this morning, I jumped at the chance. It was nice to get out and just spend some time with them as they are my last grand-parents that are alive. The date card is from Karenika Holiday Overlays  and the journal card is from Simple Stories. The digital stamp is from Ali's Embracing the Everyday The journaling reads: Today me and Violet went with my Mom and Payton to go visit my Meme and Pepe for a bit in the morning. Violet, as usual, played shy with Pepe and was just interested in Payton. It was nice to see them again, as we haven't been able t...

Welcome to Day 1 of December Daily 2013! This month I'm playing along with Ali Edwards in December Daily , documenting, the entire month of December. Today was a jam packed day, which included me being up for 19 hours straight (4am-11pm), but I loved it. Work, family time, in-laws and more family time is just the way I like to spend my Sundays. Oh, and hearing Violet go crazy with her cousins playing hide-n-seek with the Grandparents. I almost documented going down to the in-laws and all the fun Violet had, but the photo that Keith sent to me this morning while I was at work made my day and just made me laugh while I was going crazy at work. The date card is from December Daily 3x4 Sentiment Boxes and the journal card is from Simple Stories. The digital stamp is from Ali's Little Bit of Messy Photos and re-colored. The journaling reads: Keith sent me this photo of Violet sleeping this morning while I was at work. Violet's taken to sleeping on the floor lately and this is...
