Our January Life

Doing Things ... MY WAY

Hi friends I am back ... I got busy doing my Project Life 2011


I did not order Becky Higgins Project Life Kit for my PL 2011.
I am going to get the Clementine Edition Kit for my PL 2012
but I will do all of that when the photo pocket pages I 
wanted will be back in stock on February (hopefully)

Okay ... back to my Project Life 2011
I decided to make my own PL kit for 2011
I found out that JoAnn Fabrics on line is having a sale
on scrapbooking stuff

So I ordered a 12 x 12 album and 3 sets of photo pockets 

and the BEST part of all ... I only paid $20.96 !!!


Here are my loot when they arrived

 American Crafts 12 x 12 Modern D-Ring Album

We R Memory Keepers 12 x 12 photo sleeves

I am quite happy with my loot but most of all I am very happy
with my SAVINGS !!!


Next blog I will share my Project Life 2011

A Week of Being Under the Weather

365 + 1 Project


Day 15

Day 14

Day 13

Day 12

Day 11

Day 10

 Most of my pictures this week are about my 

what seems to be an endless fight against my

stubborn COUGH.  I am feeling a little better

but my voice is still not back to normal after

losing it 3 days ago.

Project Life 2012 Update

I am still waiting for Becky Higgins' page protector to be available

on Amazon before i could start assembling my PL book

Right now all I'm doing for my PL is snapping pictures

everyday and documenting them on my Ipad.

Here is my Title Page Photo for PL 2012:

Monday ... Not a good day to start the week

Project 365 + 1

Day 9

Day 8

Day 7

This is NOT a good day to start the week !

Yes, you read it right folks.

I am under the weather since Sunday and to make matters

worse ... Baby Jayden is not feeling  too good either ...

oh my ... what a combination!

I cannot wait for this sickie season to be over.

We were finally able to pack all our 

Christmas ornaments last Saturday.

Even though I am sick, I still remember to take a

picture each day for my 365 + 1 Project and 

for Project Life.  I got enough pictures to start

Project Life all I need is to order the 

Becky Higgins kit from Amazon. I am also looking

into the possibility of trying out her Project Life

DIGITAL version which you can access through

Shutterfly. 

I hope you folks stay healthy this season!

Day 6 ... Lingering and A Package

Project 365 + 1 ... Day 6

We STILL have all our Christmas decorations up in our house.

I am hoping to take them all down this weekend.

I am glad to learn from my Facebook friends that I am not the 

only one with decors still up.

A Package

Today the book I ordered from Walmart arrived.

This is my first time ordering a photo book from Walmart.

As usual I am not expecting a lot from this.

I used Walmart instead of my usual Blurb because of their

FREE SHIPPING !

I had my December Daily Entries made into a photo book.
I ordered a 5x7 hardbound format and it costs me $22.01 with FREE shipping.
It took more or less a week before it arrived.

The pictures were printed okay.
There were a lot of pictures that got cropped.
Maybe because my pictures were NOT made into a 5x7 format
and maybe because I should have picked a bigger photo book size.
Anyway here are some pages of my December Daily 2011 ...

Day 5 ... Breathe

My Little Word for 2012 is

BREATHE


this will be my reminder for the year especially on stressful times

I was able to use this word last night when our power outlets went out.
Thank goodness the problem got resolved this morning.

Whatever we are experiencing good or bad
we just have to stand back and ...

BREATHE ...

Day 4 ... Wordless Wednesday

Day 3 ... A Nice Break

I just found out from my friend Mike who just finished his 365 Photo Project that

this year it is actually 366 days of photos ... ahhhh talk about

PRESSURE ... hahahaha (now i have to come up with ONE MORE additional

picture for the year)

Today's 365 Project is dedicated to my father in law Juan N. Wilson who

passed away 9 days ago 

For AE's Project Life ...

Yesterday I watched a movie with my son John.

My hubby Joseph took care of baby Jayden.

The movie was great.

I am a Tin Tin fan.  I have been reading the comic book

since I was in high school and I have a collection of all

the Tin Tin comic books.

I had so much fun with my movie date with John.

It is such A NICE BREAK from all the stress that I

have been through lately.

Thank You Lord for this opportunity ... I truly appreciate it.

Day 2 ... Are you still with me?

This is the second day of my 365 Photo Project

"HELLO" said the 2012 Dragon to last year's Rabbit (2011)

Now for my AE's Project Life these are some of what happened to our
family on the first day of year 2011

New Year ... New Projects

This 2012 I decided to participate in 365 Project
where I will take a snapshot everyday.
I am also going to partake in Ali Edwards'
365 Project Life where I will attempt to put
into a creative scrapbook my everyday life
this 2012.
I had so much fun joining AE's December Daily
project and was amazed that I was able to finish it.
That is why this year I decided to document my
everyday life through pictures and creative
scrapbooking.

So, for the first day of January, here is my first entry :

One Filipino tradition for good luck in the New Year is that you should have
13 different round fruits on the dining table to welcome the New Year
