Project Life Week 12

Well here we are at week 12! I can't even begin to express how much i am enjoying Project Life. Since I started this in August I find myself looking forward to my "project life time" and viewing documentation a different way. and it's relieving. less stress. a simpler way, yet a more creative way (if that makes sense) to tell the story of a week. i am truly loving it.

Anyway. This week covers the week of November 14-20, which happened to start the day after we returned from New Orleans (and i was recovering from being sick), and also the week before Thanksgiving. A busy, catch-up week where the camera wasn't in much use. Kind of a problem right?

I did a few things to make up for my lack of pictures. First, I raided the kids backpacks. There are ALL sorts of treasures in those little backpacks, one being this drawing Jordan did of her "monster". I about died when i saw this.

Second, I raided todd's briefcase. with permission of course :) this was a busy week for him too with tons of meetings for one company, so I included a business card he had for this company in our project life.

Third, I tackled "the stack". You know, that pike of papers, school work, notes, catalouges, reminders, this/that that lands usually somewhere in the kitchen or your desk. This stack is something i strive each and everyday to tame (at no avail). But if you start to look through "the stack", you will be surprised what bits and pieces of your week you will find there. I found the little stick man drawing from Jonah, the brochure for Operation Christmas Child (which we worked on that week). There's always something there you can use.

Photography-wise I focused mainly on the "everyday" this week (my soup when recovering from being sick, yogurt at the grocery, and jordan wearing my heels as i was unpacking). There were two "big" events I photographed, Jonah's Thanksgiving voyage, and todd's grandma's birthday. The other big event this week was our ninth wedding anniversary, however I didn't take any photos. I was really bummed about this, but it gave me an opportunity to think outside the box. I used a "9" painting jonah did at school and also some journaling cards from Elle's Studio and documented our anniversary that way.

I just wanted to share that each Tuesday I share a new Project Life over at Elle's Studio! This week we are giving away all the Elle's Studio products I used in this week's PL, so go check it out. Additionally, we are giving away the Jack Frost kit here!! Good Luck :)

Project Life was created by Becky Higgins as a way to simplify how you document life and preserve memories. Photo pockets used in my Project Life album are created by Becky and can be found here. You can read all of my Project Life posts here.
