project life week 1

This is one of my favorite projects.  Becky Higgins “Project Life”.  I’m starting my third year using this idea to document the everyday moments of the craziness that is the Triggs-Rhuda household.  I will be setting up a page specifically dedicated to my 2013 PL pages but want to show them on my main blog page as well (evidently, only my main blog page posts to facebook etc…)

Each year, Becky releases a new card set or two to use with the divided page protectors to facilitate telling your story.  This year, I’m going to use the “Seafoam” edition…but alas, it has not yet shown up for ordering on Amazon.  One of my memory keeping goals for 2013 is to keep up with my PL pages and post them weekly here on my blog…so here goes…

Week1-original layout

Week One, with place holders for the Seafoam kit which I hope to have next week.  I usually run my weeks Mon-Sun but started with Jan 1 this week…NY Day party, Basketball, surprise in the mail and Hello winter this week!

Thanks for looking!  Are you working on a PL album this year?  If you have been looking for a way to easily and simply document your life and capture your memories, PL might be for you!

catching up and tidying up…

 

 

 

 

One of my goals for 2013 is to come here and write on my blog more, share my projects and carve out my little corner of the internet.  Housekeeping chores led me to this layout which I guess I thought I’d posted but evidently not…from November 2011.

Another of my goals is to learn WordPress more thourougly so things run a little smoother around this joint

I created this layout as part of a Layout-A-Day challenge class at Big Picture Classes.  A surprise weekend trip to Mt. Sunapee to climb the mountain that Charlie and the girls had skied down that winter.  The surprise held until we were into NH.  Great fun had by all.

Journaling reads…

For Charlie’s birthday this year, we gave him a weekend at Mt. Sunapee.   The express purpose of the weekend was to hike to the top of Mt. Sunapee and take a summer picture of the girls at the top of the mountain.  He had already taken one of them over the winter when they were skiing and he wanted to return in the summer for the same photo.  Mission accomplished!  After a little backtracking and  a lot of “this mountain doesn’t have any summit” we arrived.  2.1+ miles and several hours later – totally worth it!  Happy Birthday Daddy!   Labor Day 2011

around here

blessed to have been able to spend so much time together over Christmas break and this last week.  No big plans, just everyday life, together.

loving that the girls have taken to basketball and skiing so well and so whole-heartedly.  When they love something, they give it their all.

packing for a weekend creative with friends and friends-not-met-yet up in York, ME next weekend.
