instafriday: week 3

 Sorry for the absence… CHA consumed my life this past week. I of course will have a recap for you so stay tuned for all of my favorite bits & pieces from the show.

instafriday: week 2

 

instafriday: week 1 2014

I am not ready for this year to start….

I think the last 2 years have been so good; I just don’t want to let go!

I still am contemplating if I want to continue instafriday. As much as I love it I’m kinda tired of it. But here I am with the first week of 2014.

This past week involved lots of traditions, and new adventures.

 

Had my first mammogram

We drove to San Diego for the charger chief game

The chargers won, and now they are in the playoffs

This boy was a little excited

Last blog post of the year came with a mini tutorial

I made some photo props for NYE

Getting our selfies on

Happy New Year!

instafriday: week 52

 

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year! This is the final instafriday of 2013! As much as I LOVE this project I am a little burnt out! But I don’t think I’m gonna give up yet. I truly do love seeing the whole year in 1 album! It seriously is so fun to look through. The only way I think I could simplify this project is to just post once a month. And I think if I did that I wouldn’t be consistent, so for now I plan on doing instafriday as my project life for 2014.

Treats for my Starbucks peeps

Excited to go see Christmas lights

instafriday: week 49 & 50

When I looked at the calendar to get the week number for this post I was in shock! Really? Only 2 weeks left in 2013.  I still in awe that I have kept up with this project. It really is pretty cool to be able to flip back through the year and say “oh ya, we did that”

 

Just 3 points!

#30gratefuldays: the photos

So are you wondering what I did with my #30grateful day’s photos?

I know some of the girls made mini albums. Jennifer Wilson from Simple Scrapper made me this super cool layered template so I could put all my photos together. You can download it here for free! You will need pse or photoshop to use it. I will have it printed as a 12x12 photo from persnickety prints. Then I will simply slip it into a 12x12 page protector and included it in my capture life album. {My take on a digital project life, using my instafriday photos}

 

SO you probably have seen all of these photos from my instagram feed or from here on instafriday. But now you get to see them all together!

 

 

All photos start with today I am grateful for:

I took all of last week to rest and get better from the car
accident I was in.

This week was all about catch up on assignments, and I did.
Then Wednesday we had a freak storm. It was the first day I needed to leave the
house. And of course the traffic was horrendous. As I right this I seriously think,
“where did this week go?”

 

The good news I am all caught up on assignments! Now here
are this weeks photos!

instafriday: week 39

 

It’s been another wild and crazy week here. I got home from Minnesota
at 2am Cali time Sunday/Monday. Whatever day you want to call it I’m tired! It
has literally taken me all week to recover. I think I’m home for a month. A
whole month! I don’t even know what to do with myself. So if you haven’t tuned
in since last week, make sure to scroll down I blogged a whole bunch sharing
all my photos from the past week and a half.

 

So good to be home!

upload a few pics. Here are the rest of what has gone down.

It’s Friday the 13^th!

Do you have anything special planned????

I don’t even really think twice about the date,

except for a
little chuckle!

 

Anyways the week has come to an end, and I have lots of
photos to share… Actually the week started of not so great, and I was kinda in
a funk. I finally worked through it {or shall I say slept through it} and got
my act together. I finished up my Sep assignments well all for one team that I haven’t
even got the assignments yet…lol

Anyways I am currently in Oregon, so lots of “on the road”
pics were taken

Ok ok I know you only care about the photos well here they
are!

 

I received my DT box of goodies from Pretty Little Studio:
Thanks Melissa!

Jager loves his window down; he really truly is a little
sightseer, or sight to see?

I was in a groove and made some layouts that weren’t assignments,
good thing, cause I was able to fill in last min for someone.

I’m a winner! Crazy huh! Thanks Deena Rutter & Jeryn for
