Here we are at the completion of yet another week of Project Life 2013. I am very excited that I am "keeping up" with the way I have decided to use this project to document my family's life.
If you have stopped by my blog in the past couple of weeks you know that I plan to celebrate the milestone of completing 25% of the year with a celebratory blog hop on Friday, April 12!
I hope you will join us! Please scroll to the bottom of this post, for more details on how to sign up.
I'm including less photos this week in the interest of brevity.
On the first page I am missing a photo because I just discovered it on a camera I don't use as often(we have FOUR cameras that I use and one phone) and I need to get it printed (with my next batch tomorrow).
With four different cameras and one phone, it is not the most efficient way to gather photos, but they all serve different puposes, so that is the way it shall remain.
As the saying goes, the best camera is the one you have with you!
This week has an insert! This is Design D Photo Pocket Pageswith the far column cut off and saved for use in the future (I'll add a few layers of washi tape, punch 3 holes). It is the top view of my family at 7:35 PM (7:36, 7:37 & 7:38 - truly!) on an average Tuesday.
The other side is an additional photo from Saturday with some packaging, an exercise photo of my feet (read about that here) & a note about our ICE CREAM for BREAKFAST celebration.
And finally the last page is more typical scenes from our week.
I made that "8" t-shirt for my son to wear on his birthday. To see my post about it go here.
I used a lot of Thickers Foam Letter Stickers this week. They are so easy to use and reduce the headache of many other types of letter stickers. I just ordered more so I never run out!
A few of my DIY foam stamps have appeared again as well as my "GRATEFUL" label I try to use each week as part of my ONE LITTLE WORD - Grateful.
CELBRATE with US: PROJECT LIFE BLOG HOP
At the completion of Week 13 we will be 25% through the year. I want to keep myself motivated and accountable with Project Life so I want to throw myself a party for reaching my goals.
On Friday, April 12 (the week I complete my Project Life 13 spread), I will host a Blog Hop to celebrate.
Care to join me? It will be a great time to celebrate, pause for a moment and reflect on what we've accomplished, what we've learned and how the project is going so far.
**Whatever you have complete in your album is totally fine! No need to have the same criteria for goals as I do. You are more than welcome to participate regardless of your progress. The more the merrier!**
If you are interested in joining me or have any questions, please email me (link in my side bar under my photo). Put "2013 Project Life April Blog Hop" in the subject line and include your name & blog address in the message. I will compile a list of participants and email everyone this week with more details.
If you have no idea what a blog hop is or which kind of blog hop I am talking about (I've seen a few different types of virtual events out there called "blog hops"), click this link or this link to see past blog hops I've hosted on my blog.
I hope you'll join us. We have a great group so far. It should be a lot of fun and who knows you may win a little prize (I'll have a small give away)!

Cool to have the top view of your family all at the same time to see what each is up to. I love that.

Great idea to make a picture of your family members and what they are doing on a particular time! I also love how you incorporate your One Little Word in your spreads!

I love your insert with what they are doing on a typical Tuesday!

Great layout! I love the insert as well I will have to use that idea of taking a picture of what everyone is doing at the same time :)

I love your spread this week. It's a fun photo shoot you did with the top view of your family. :) And yes, it is a lot with 4 cameras and one phone :) But as you say - each camera has a certain purpose. :)
Thank you for great inspiration once again. I look forward to see more.
