Speedy read and my Secret Sis

Good morning yall! My goal was to get some Project Life done on my time off from work which I did, Yay! ...and also started and finished a book in 2 days which I have never done, ever!! Of course I've read books, just not like a speedy gonzales. It is the book based on the movie Divergent, written by Veronica Roth. It is a triology (I love trilogies!) and so I am very anxious to read the next two! I wasn't interested in the movie at all, I thought it was another 'Hunger Games type' but I loved the book! Highly recommend it, folks! And can't wait to see the movie now!!

I mentioned last time that I participate in a Secret Sister Swap on Facebook. It is so fun! We got paired up anonymously by the admins and they had us answer a questionnaire when we started to get an idea of what our SS's style is and what she likes. It is for a 3 month period with a minimum of $15 for each package. We will reveal ourselves the last month! It is really neat seeing my SS share her photos of the package I sent her on fb and seeing how excited she is! My SS did so good! I love everything, thank you SS!!  I promised pics of my first package from her, so here ya go!




I got week 9 and 10 done, still have to do 11 and 12. It has been a few weeks (almost a month!) since I sat down and really pumped out some pages so I felt a little slower starting out. My creative juices started flowing finally! Embellishments are from FF and a few from my Secret Sister!

I love the pic of Ollie that I did. She was originally in the back of the truck with a maintenance van in the
back. I cut her out, added some stamps and viola!!


Love the navy thickers from Studio Calico's Office Hours kit this month!

So that is all I have for you this time, I'm going to crank out some more layouts before I go back to work tomorrow. Now go read Veronica Roth's Divergent!

Have a marvelous day!!

I'm on a freeze

Love. My. Family.
I had such a wonderful weekend! We threw my Nana a surprise birthday party for her 70th! Family flew in from Colorado and we surprised her at Saltgrass Steakhouse and she had no idea... her reaction was adorable- she just couldn't believe her eyes! My Papaw was surprised as well and it was just perfect spending time with family!

I will have so many photos for my PL pages this week, I may do a few pages! And I will share them of course!

I have splurged, big time on some PL supplies these last few weeks and I have so much to share. I am going to do a spending freeze and not spend any money on PL/scrapbooking until next quarter. This will be hard for me so I'm just going to avoid Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and Joann until then. It will be extra hard not to spend money online, but I will just have to cyber window shop! I have plenty and could probably have a year's worth of supplies to get me through. It is exciting and a little addicting accumulating scrap supplies and I've got to chill out.

Here are some PL items that I ordered from Amazon:

Flea Market Mini Kit (super cute!) I love the ultra-feminine vintage look with all the floral and polka dots.

So is anyone else on a spending freeze for one of your hobbies? What do you like to splurge on? I will share more of my goodies next time! And I do have more! I'd love to hear from some other Project Life-rs out there, leave a comment and a link with your crafty product inspirations below!
