Hi all! Just checking in to say that I'm still on. Lard the WITL train documenting, however I am a few days behind in posting pics. Too many late nights and a day of work later, this lady is going to bed with plans to enjoy some time on this project over the weekend.
Enjoy the final 2 days. Xx

This morning the kids and I ventured to the zoo with some friends of ours. I met Kelly through the Project Life Australia Facebook group and we have become real-life friends! Tilly and her youngest, W are a similar age and get along well, so it works when we all get together! It was fun to break our Wednesday routine (sorry playgroup!) with a trip out. Faves from today...
Day 2 and I am loving this process. It is 10:16pm and my youngest has only JUST gone to sleep so today will be only pics. These are from my real camera. A few from my phone are still there. :)
If I can, I will be posting some of my favourite photos from the day here each night.
Something that I have liked about my approach so far this year is to not try to take in every little portion of the day, but rather to capture things that I can tell stories about that are common to us now. Monday was... a quiet morning at home cleaning and the kids helping and playing so well together, taking Tilly to kinder in the downpour, a planned GP visit for me, more play after kinder before an 'in-front-of-the-TV-kid-dinner', bath, late Toby home, sleepy drive for Sam, omelette dinner for Toby and pimped-porridge' for me. Lots of stolen moments in front of the computer screen too as me Beck Holder Photography website update post went up. Here are some of today's favourites... Hello... do you remember me? Well done if you've found me here. It's been pretty quiet over here!
I have been filling my days with the kids and our home. Tilly is in kinder this year and Sam is 2. My photography business has been growing and I have also returned to work as a primary teacher one day a week, teaching Art! All of this has left little room for my other passion of memory keeping, particularly Project Life. The passion IS there though and I continue to chip off bits and pieces as I can. My struggle is getting to the editing of my personal photos on the computer and then getting the photos printed in store. It was wonderful to see Becky Higgins again a few weeks back and to be reminded that there are seasons in life and that it will be there when I can pick it up properly again. With this in mind, and with some thoughts about the Project Life App, I have decided to attempt to document a week in our life starting tomorrow. My plan has grown and changed somewhat, but the guts of it is this...
Those are my rough plans thus far. You may see me again this week, or you may not. ;) If you are taking part in WITL, I wish you all the best and a happy time collecting memories of your life right now. x This year I am a member of The Stamp Spot Documenting December 2015 design team. I am using Michelle's kit as a foundation for my album this year. This is still available at her store. I'm linking up with Ali Edwards, the brains behind December Daily too. The Story of Today is about Tilly finding her letter from Santa, of the every day and the traditions of Christmas. She was so excited to find that Santa's elves had delivered her letter from Santa. She was out with her dad when it arrived and I told her that I heard some bells when she was out and to check if there was anything near the front door. We then said that the elves sometimes deliver the mail for Santa. Just a little bit of magic.
We always sing the 'jacaranda' chorus in the car and I wanted to document that story as well as the music that we've been listening to most this season. Done and done!

I'm linking up with Ali Edwards, the brains behind December Daily too. The Story of Today was all about our playgroup breakup and our street party. These are events that happen every year and I've enjoyed looking back over past December Daily's and comparing how things change and how things stay the same.
Just a simple grid page, very similar to Ali's here, captioning the small square photos on the left side of the page. Where the invitation for the street party is will soon hold a photo of the kids on the slip 'n' slide, but this has been omitted for privacy.

Today was a regular, but on the go type day with several things happening but nothing screaming 'CHRISTMAS'! I had a 2x2 grid sheet already in place from my foundation pages and when I saw Ali's idea of collecting items from around your home and popping them in there, I was sold. The right hand page houses all kinds of items- a stamp, shopping list, to do list, label from tinned peaches (always some in the fridge here!), junk mail, nappy box, etc. I know that there are some things in there that are so everyday now, but even next year may not be so. The left side is all about today. For over a year we have been thinking about getting me an eternity ring, and today was the day that it arrived. Lucky me, it came in under budget so we also got the saphire one- I love it! We're not big spenders so having a special piece such as my rings is super special... and I was excited to be able to use the diamond die cut from Michelle's kit too! :) This year I am a member of The Stamp Spot Documenting December 2015 design team.

The Story of Today is about adventure! A morning in the city with our family and some friends. It was so much fun to be out and about with my little family and to watch their excitement seeing new things and new places! The pages are quite self explanatory so I'll let the photos (LOTS of them!) speak for themselves. I think that this is my favourite day of December so far. x

I'm linking up with Ali Edwards, the brains behind December Daily too. The Story of Today is one of the everyday that's been missing for a while. Since mum's surgery she's only been over to our house once for around half an hour. When dad called yesterday afternoon and asked if we had dinner plans, it was a pleasant surprise. The kids were extra excited to have ma and pa at our place again too, and it gave them an extra distraction while I was photographing a mini-session for a family.
Today's layout is super simple. I have added the kraft alphas and red washi from my stash for some extra 'pop' but everything else is from the kit. The red outline to 'family fun' is the border from the set of word stickers that came in the kit. It was a fun little challenge to use something that would usually be binned and it's got me thinking about other ways that I can use scrapbooking waste in my layouts. :) More than halfway through this project now! How are you going? |
