PROJECT LIFE AND MORE!!!

Hello Project Life, again it's been a quick and busy week. I did good just to get the pictures in the pages and take these pictures of them, lol.... sadly my order was wrong again, Walgreens has a new ordering page which is making some of my photos not order. For this week I added an old page protector from Archivers, it has six 4x6 pockets, LOVE THIS!! On this first page it's all about the surprise last minute day trip Rich and the kids went on. They went to Waldameere Park and had a BLAST, EVEN RODE THEIR FIRST ROLLER COASTER, YIPPPEEE!! Thankfully Rich didn't mind taking the camera and getting some shots for me. I plan on writing on the white empty spaces you see, just too tired to do it now. Now for some close-ups....
Here's the left side, lots of fun pictures of the girls and their reactions to the rides. LOVE LOVE THIS!! Not sure why but Rich didn't get to many of Sam.
Here's the front side of the extra insert. These were the slides they love going down. The middle one on the left side is Sam in the hot tub there, some little girl came over and made some moves on him they all said. I can't believe that, so glad Rich got this picture to go with the story. The bottom two are from the roller coaster they rode, LOVE THIS!!
This is the back side of the insert and the right side of the week. Really love this extra insert!
Here is the last day of going to the park all togehter before school starts. I LOVE THESE!! The photos that are missing were from this day. I took some cute ones of Colt and of them on the merry go round. We had so much fun and these little cuties with my big cuties just makes me HAPPY!!!!
This is the right side. The top two I've shown last week. The bottom two are from Indian Point with my mom, it was fun and not so fun at the same time. The middle cards are so cool mixed in here I think. The first two are mine, MY FAVE COLORS RIGHT NOW! The next one is Summer's and the last one is Renee's. So glad to have a little art in here this week. So far I'm keeping up (just barely).
 
SOOOO EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW PROJECT LIFE KITS, I'M SURE YOU'VE ALL SEEN THEM BY NOW....LOVE....LOVE....LOVE THEM ALL. WHAT I PLAN ON GETTING IS THE SEAFOAM KIT AND THE BRIDGEPORT TO MIX IT UP WITH. IF I HIT THE LOTTERY THEN I WILL ADD THE OLIVE ADDITION TO THIS ALSO. I THINK BECKY AND TEAM DID AN AMAZING JOB WITH THE DESIGNERS AND ALL THESE NEW KITS. THE LITTLE MINI WHITE BOXES ARE THE SWEETEST THING, CAN'T WAIT TO GET MINE. IF ANYONE HAS BEEN THINKING OF JUMPING IN NEXT YEAR FOR THEIR FIRST TIME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I WILL HELP ANY WAY I CAN. I TRULY BELIEVE IN PROJECT LIFE AND HOW IT CAN HELP YOU PRESERVE THOSE MEMORIES OF YOURS. ALL THESE NEW KITS WILL BE SO FUN TO WORK WITH SO JUMP, JUMP, JUMP IN!!!
 
I want to thank everyone for the comments on my last post, they make me soooo happy!!!
Here's just a peek at my new art pages from last week. I will try to post these on Thurs/Fri so be sure to come back and see them. These colors have been really fun to play with! Shahrul these are the colors I told you about that I loved in your post with the pick up truck, do you remember? LOVE THESE COLORS!!! I hope to get back into my fabric art soon too, have been too busy.
Look at this little mini pumpkin straight out of OUR GARDEN!! Rich surprised me and grew mini ones this year, LOVE LOVE THESE!! The sunflowers are also ours, so pretty. Rich did this whole arrangement and is so proud of it, lol... he told me to let all of you know. Such a sweetie he is!
Have a great week everyone, see you back here I hope later this week for ART!!

  1. Way to go in getting another week in your PL abum! Dang you are truly an inspiration!! I sat and looked thru my album last night and LOVED how it documented so many things from this year, it will be a treasure for years to come and so will yours..I hope your family is loving looking thru your album as well!!

    Can't believe September is just around the corner, can you?! We've gone thru some weird weather lately..one night it actually froze, one afternoon we got hail and today has been an utter heat wave! Have to admit, I'm getting ready for Autumn!!

    That mini pumpkin is adorable! And those flowers are gorgeous..way to go Rich!! ;) lol my minis are coming along as well..I just don't know when they'll be ready to harvest?! My large pumpkins have finally started turning orange so I'm pretty excited for that too!! Gotta love sunflowers, yours look beautiful! I've been admiring mine daily..they are just so beautiful!

    Anyways, take care my friend! Enjoy the last few days of August!!

      I told Rich about your comment and he said THANK YOU!! He loves your farm also. We have a few more orange ones now and the big ones are getting there. I love growing and using our own pumpkins each year.

    1. Hi Ann, yes the kids loved it. Our sunflowers are way out in the garden so the bees can't bother us. Rich checked them all before bringing them in. Thanks for the comment!

    1. Hi Tracey,
      HAHA!! I was laughing too when the kids told me. He was quite pleased about it, lol.. I'm glad to inspire you with my PL, hope you can start back on yours soon. If we lived closer I'd make a weekly PL date with you.
      I love them all too but will have to choose, it is hard!!
      Take care, hope it was a good week.

  6. Oh yes!!. I remember the pick up truck gorgeous rusty red!. and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the colors and the patterns you have on your page there!. I can see that you're having fun just from the color strokes, so free :). Amazing work, Dawn.

    And the pumpkin oohh so cute. Perfect for Fall decor, I wonder if you could halve the pumpkin, fill it with wax and make a candle :) Tea lights, maybe :).

  9. What can be said about the new kits except..yummmmmmm! I really love the Olive one by Heather Bailey, but have found that I really don't use my current kit as much as I probably should? Or maybe I'm just preserving it LOL. You truly are an inspiration for PL...I think of you often when I'm in a PL rut :) Have a great week Dawn xx

  10. You've preserved all the holiday memories, Yippee! Your commitment to PL is what inspired me to start it. I too saw the new kits. Of course they're all so pretty but am not sure abt buying. Your doily art and the flowers are pretty,and as I always tell you I love to see your children doing art with you. The flower arrangement is looking wonderful too, Sumflower is one of my favs.
    Have a great weekend.
    HUGS

  12. Tell Rich i love his arrangement it looks perfect. Well i went on one roller coaster ride when i was twelve and haven't been on one since-enough said.
    Looking forward to seeing your art pages those colours look great together and that little bit of tape just finishes it off.
    enjoy your weekend.
