This week started off with Mother's day and my getting sick. To be honest I just wanted to skip this week, it sat here empty then with photos only, the words are still to hard to write for me. I've been very emotional this week and just want to hold on to this life/family of mine so tight and never let go. So I sat last night and finally did some writing and pictures, made some collages. The ones of Kristin and kids are my favorite, love that she did this for me. I hardly got any photos this week of her home, too tired and just loopy to do it. There is an added page protector here and this is the front of it.
this is the back of the PP and the right side of pages. The bottom right is for when I will write what happened to me and I stuck my hospital band in there also. Love the one of them at the table. Always told Rich I want enough kids to fill up our dinner table, to me it means everything. The left is about my adding some new pretty pink flowers to the bathroom, love making my own art. Glad to have this week done and thankful for these photos and for Kristin being home, LOVE YOU GUYS!!
I have a little bit of everything mixed into this week. My favorite is Sam and his pizza, he made it all on his own and ate all buy one slice. LOVE LOVE WHEN HE FINALLY EATS!! Due to the hot weather coming we got new suits and played lots in the hose, can't wait to get our pool up. I took Lucky for his heartworm pills and he needed meds. so I included his reminder card since it fit .
Just have to say again PROJECT LIFE RULES, PROJECT LIFE ROCKS AND IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE THING. You might be tired of hearing it but it's soooo true. The one thing I kept going back to while laying in the hospital was THANK GOODNESS I HAVE MY PL AND THE KIDS WILL KNOW THEIR STORY AND HOW LOVED THEY WERE. IF FOR SOME REASON GOD DECIDED FOR ME NOT HAVE MADE IT, THEY WOULD HAVE THIS TREASURE SO FOR THAT PROJECT LIFE WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY LIFE. JUST HAVING THESE LITTLE BITS OF THEIR LIVES IN HERE MAKES ME OVERJOYED EACH WEEK. OK ENOUGH OF THE SAPPY STUFF!! Let's get serious!!
Coming up this week I will share stories from our weekend which was 3 long happy days and I will be sharing our summer plan list (see Ali Edward's blog) for more info on that. Sorry no art to show really, haven't done to much of that. I hope everyone had a good weekend and want to say a special THANK YOU TO OUR VETERANS AND FOR THOSE THAT ARE FIGHING FOR US NOW. I NEVER FORGET WHY WE HAVE THIS DAY OFF AND AM THANKFUL FOR THIS COUNTRY WE LIVE IN. THANK YOU FOR VISITING AND FOR YOUR COMMENTS, I LOVE READING THEM. 6 MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT BY THE WAY, HOORAY!!

Happy for you that you are caught up... LOL I am so far behind (again). I am not that worried though, its just been crazy busy as usual and I just haven't had the time. I know I will get there. Now that production is over hopefully life will get a little slower. I can always hope.

Glad you are getting caught up! It's never easy to do ... Your pages look so great. I like how you mix cobalt and clementine. Definitely a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn,
ReplyDeleteWay to go getting all caught up on your PL album! That's amazing & such a treasure for your family! I am so far behind and therefore extremely jealous of you!! I haven't quit, my photos are waiting to be printed..I just need to take the time to actually work on it, like you did!
Great job on the layout - love it!
Thank you ladies for stopping by and for all your sweet comments. I love sharing my PL pages with you each week.
ReplyDeleteGreat pages Dawn. I'm sorry you were sick and going through a hard time. I hope having that full table of beloved faces helped. {{Hugs}}
ReplyDeleteHooray for being caught up! I'm just missing a couple of weeks, but it feels great each time I can cross one off the list! Your pages are so lovely, and very nice to look at. You're right, it's a wonderful keepsake for your family. I've often had the same thoughts myself! See you next week!
ReplyDeleteHooray that you are all caught up! I am behind on my journaling cards. I fall into that slump this time every year! Thanks for visiting my blog and your sweet comments.
