Workspace Wednesday

I thought I would join in on Workspace Wednesday and share a couple of fun things on my craft table.

First up is this new box from Michael's:

I love the inside of this box - fun!

My tools: post-its, a corner rounder, Sharpie pen, adhesive runner, adhesive gum eraser, tape, Burt's Bees chapstick, tweezers, a pencil sharpener and eraser, and a ponytail holder. The cuticle oil got thrown in there, but is optional ;)

And I had to get the coordinating smaller box. Obvi.

Check out these wood veneers I found at Michael's - super cheap and perfect for Project Life! They were part of a new spring display.

What's on your desk?

Project Life Week 2

Here's my week 2. I'm using the Coral Project Life kit plus items from the Freckled Fawn monthly kit and the Studio Calico monthly PL kit.

Full week:

Left side: Joe got injured. He probably tore some ligaments and he has a tibia fracture. For his picture of the week, he sent me the picture on the bottom left (his view for the next few weeks).

I made this card with little puffy stickers from Freckled Fawn. I was going for a 'pain scale' look... Joe's pretty tough and hasn't complained much about his leg hurting.

Right side: my new favorite tea, scrapbook supply deliveries, and a new recipe that turned out really good!

Since Joe's been having to sit around, we've watched a lot of movies:

How is your 2014 book coming along?

Jamaica!

Ive been MIA for a couple of days, but I'll be back soon. Right now I'm enjoying a little trip to Jamaica with my hubby.

We're relaxing, soaking up the sun, and eating lots of yummy food. 

We've also been learning how to use a wheelchair and crutches... Hubby got hurt about a week and a half ago while climbing a tree... He has fractured his tibia spine, torn his MCL... we'll find out what else is going on when we get the MRI results this coming Friday. He's a tough cookie!

Delta airlines was amazing. They had wheelchairs waiting to whisk him away at each stop along the way. We also got to board the plane first and got to sit in rows with a little extra leg room. 

No ocean or pool for Joe, but we've been lounging and enjoying the views.

We're making it work!! 

See ya soon!

Project Life Week 1

So I'm caught up so far in 2014, haha! :) I love the Coral kit and I love how this week turned out... although I originally thought it would be boring to use one kit the whole year, I've changed my mind about that. Of course I'll be adding other kits and random cards throughout the year, but I love how simple it is to get it done when you limit your choices a bit. I haven't limited my embellishing choices though!

Full week: a new job (!!!), a new planner, taking down Christmas decor, reminiscing about old times, and milkshakes at Chik-fil-A. Perfect.

Left side: I *might* make all of my title cards this way... I got some alpha and number stamps for Christmas. I really like the simplicity of stamping the week and then writing the dates underneath. Lesson learned from last year: I won't be pre-making my title cards. I want to pick the one I want to use each week.

Right side: This year I told Joe he has to send me a picture each week to help me "document his life" better. I want his perspective to be included more than I did last year. And yes, I have an alarm set on my phone for every Sunday night so I can ask him. Wonder how long it will be before he realizes that?! He took a picture of his coffee cup and the fireplace at Cracker Barrel and the little cow picture. His pictures are going to liven up my PL, that's for sure!

My cousin found this picture of me and my grandfather. I'm so glad he and his wife sent it to me!

I think these little mountains may be a symbol to go along with my One Little Word choice! 

I'm still chipping away at those little star stickers from a Freckled Fawn kit a couple months ago. I've used more blue than pink stars.

I know this stamp has been around for a while, but it's new to me! And it fit perfectly in this journaling spot.

So how are you going to keep up with PL this year? Do you set time aside each week? Or print out your pictures monthly? Leave me some tips in the comments!
