Hello and Happy Project Life!! I had a great week of pictures and ordering and putting it together. Took my time and just enjoyed the process, added some fall theme goodies and called it done. Can you belive we are half way thru September already, the days just fly by don't they. The weather has been chilly in the mornings and just right during the day. Thanks for the comments on my apple post, I'm happy to say that I did buy my own cider and have enjoyed it!! How about some close ups now...
Here is the left side, added a little fun to the title card this week. I had to do a collage on the gorgeous sunrise I shared last week. Really love how it turned out. In the bottom right is my sister's PL she just completed and shared it with me. I finally talked her into buying one and sadly she just doesn't "GET IT" or the time and the labor of printing so many photos. Glad she tried it and she does like it but said to count her out next year. SIGH, SNIFF..... Look at those two cuties holding their mini pumpkins!
here is the right side, full of FALL FUN!! Love the apple orchard collage and I decided to add my own apple scrapbook paper to fill up that pocket. Look at Sam playing soccer in the bottom one, it was our first game of the season. MAN DO I LOVE TO WATCH HIM PLAY, MY HEART POUNDS THE WHOLE TIME and yes I do stand at the sides yelling GO SAM, HUSTLE, FIGHT AND PLAY HARD, FOLLOW IT UP, GOOD JOB TEAM, GOOD PASSING, GOOD TRY!! I cheer for them all but especially for my boy!! Rich took the kids to a friend's haunted house and the kids were too scared right away so they came home. I have never liked them and still don't, guess Rich will have to do this on his own from now on. I also went scrapping on Sat. will show my pages later, it was finishing up more in my summer journal. So that's another week done and happy about.
On another subject, don't let this take away the FUN FROM THE PL POST HERE, my 2 homeschoolers are back in school now. They really had a different attitude once it started and just couldn't handle the change. I think they should have tried harder and longer but they were both unhappy and not impressed with the online schooling programs. I for one am very upset and sadden by their change of heart. The programs were good, the teachers amazing and sweet and given more time to get use to this new way of learning could have benefitted both of them. It was hard just to type this and tell you after all my excitment about it, thank you for the support you gave me then. Trying not to dwell on it and moving forward with a new mind set on just me and my quiet house again. That's enough talking about this subject now, just wanted to let you know how it was.
Thanks again ladies for being so awesome and sweet! Have a great week!
My Big Picture
Your layouts are great! Love all the pics.. and don't sweat about the whole school thing.. U did the best u could do.. .and that alone should make u feel happy. Nobody's perfect.. not a one of us.. xo hugs
ReplyDeleteAll I want ever is for my kids to be happy. That's it... love love to you tonite!
Thank you Bonita for the support and nice comment. Glad you liked my PL photos.
DeleteYou tried to home school....you should be getting a medal. Don't feel bad that it didn't work...sometimes the children just need other children around them.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynette, haha yes I did try and would love to get a medal for all my efforts. Thanks for the support!!
DeleteI totally love seeing your PL pages, they seriously make me happy.
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of your for just thinking about home schooling. Don't get too hard on yourself and who knows maybe you will go back to it. The important thing is that you were there for your kids and thats all that matters.
I think I told you that I have ordered my PL for next year. We can pre-order as we cannot buy through Amazon so I am not sure if you can pre-order or not yet. Still decided on what to do about the journalling cards but I think I might just stick to the white grid cards and add my own stash... but things can change right LOL.
Getting lots of work lately so not much time for blogging, fingers crossed I will have some time over the weekend.
Have a happy week.
love me :-)
Hi Tracey, thanks so much for the visit and enjoying my Pl pages!! Thanks for the support also!! YIPPEE for pre-orders, you are soooo lucky!! YIPPEEE for extra work hours!!!
DeleteYes, you tried and now you just go on and take life a day at a time. Better to have tried then to have never given it a chance!
ReplyDeleteHi Deborah, thanks so much for the support and vist. This is so true,thanks!
DeleteLovely lovely fall pages. Pumpkins and apples , yum. The colors are so warm and inviting. Sorry to hear about your school disappointment. Your enthusiasm and effort were obvious, so even if it is for the best, I understand your feelings.
ReplyDeleteHi Nirupama,
DeleteGlad you like all my fall fun pages. Thanks for the support and understanding, totally bummed about it.
Love the pictures of the little ones with their pumpkin minis - and Sam at soccer - he's so full of energy - nice job on the pages - and you know - you can lead a horse to water - but you cannot make him drink - you did your best - we've talked about this - it's all you can do - there comes a time when you have to just let it go - things will turn out exactly as they are meant to - believe in that and stay happy!
ReplyDeleteHi mom, aren't the kids so cute, thanks for that comment! Sienna was serious about taking that home and telling Colt about his. Thanks for the support also, means a lot and helps!!
DeleteHUGS to you, Dawn. Take this as a chance for you to have more rest, quite me-time at home and you'll be glad it soon will pass :). Your PL pages are more fun now, what with all the Fall scenes and activities!. I too, don't like haunted house much because I got tired just with screaming alone.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shahrul for the support and enjoying my PL pages. So funny to hear about you screaming at haunted houses. HUGS!!
DeleteDear Dawn your pictures are looking great as usual. I can look at that sky pics for a looong time, they're that awesome.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, everything will turn out for the best with the kids studies. Waiting to see more art and photos from you.
Hugs to you
I'm so sorry the homeschooling thing didn't work out as you'd hoped, Dawn. Your disappointment is obvious, but try not to dwell on it too much...you are AWESOME just for trying it!
ReplyDeleteLove your PL pages as always. I can totally understand why your sister doesn't 'get it'. I'm a scrapbooker from way back, and I struggle with it from time to time...it can be really intense! Thankfully there are people like you who are so inspirational, and get me back on track ;)
