Sharing week 11

Been a little busy lately, so i'm gonna cut to the chase! My pages for Week 11 are done! I figured out how to make collages in GIMP so that I could print multiple photos in a 4x6! This has really helped me include more memories on one page. I'm a little proud of myself...it was super easy! I found this blog very helpful!

I included the cute stamped envelope and note my Secret Sis wrote me and also a little card that came in the box from my new perfume Chloe :) And that Chicken Fried Steak was the BEST!

Embellishments from Freckled Fawn, washi from my Secret Sis, a few cards from Studio Calico.

I hope to get more PL done to share with you soon! I have gotten some goodies that I will share as soon as I get the photos taken. Goodnight blog world!

Quick hello!

I feel like a blog post is overdue, and I just wanted to say hello since I haven't posted in awhile! Got back from Lubbock, went to Houston for a day, and now I am working my 7 on schedule right now. I am well spent after work so I don't think I'll be doing any actual PL on these days. I pretty much come home (or run errands after work...shopping for groceries at 7 am is SO nice!), go to sleep, wake up and try to become a person again (with the help of delicious coffee), walk the dog, get some fresh air, leave for work and do it all over again! I have continued to take photos, enjoy life, and journal so that way when I have my 7 off I can catch up! I have not yet done Week 9 thru Week 11 so those will be on my PL to do list!   By the way, I made a trip out to Ikea and got some things to keep organized! I also sent out my Secret Sister package (I am in a PL Secret Sisters Swap group) and received mine as well!! I will post photos later, gotta get back to the grind! But I can't write a blog post and not include photos, it feels naked, so here are some LOL!

This Week's Happy Mail!! YaY!!!

the little engine that could

I wanted this blog to be mostly about my crafty projects, with a few blurbs about my personal life. Here is one of those blurbs! I mentioned in my first post that I moved recently and have a new job. After 9 weeks of training I am finally on my "real schedule"-- Night Shift! I am still training, but on the night shift now. In a few weeks I will be let loose and be on my actual schedule which is 7 days on, 7 days off. I am so excited!! I am planning to get so much done on my 7 days off, but realistically I've spoken with others on such schedule and they do the same in theory, but in actuality they don't get as much as done as they had set out to do. That said, I am going to set small goals to get things accomplished and... relax! I can spend so much more time on my hobbies and travelling, working out more (hopefully), and visiting with family. I have been so busy training and having different schedules every week, it has been hard to keep up with my PL pages. Nonetheless, I am getting them done and sharing my progress! Hence the name of my post today. I had alot of fun with these pages this week. I think it was because I had so many more options...ahem splurges! Most of the journal cards I used this week were from the Studio Calico December PL kit and a few were also from the BH Blush kit.

Have a beautiful day!

Better late than never!

I have been super busy and haven't had a chance to share my crafty love in awhile...so this is a quick post showing my Project Life pages for Week 2!

Some of the items I used for these pages were from the January PL kit, Copper Mountain from Studio Calico.

I will be posting more about my recent hauls and goodies, when I get a chance! Thanks for checking out my post!
