Project Life: Week 31 & 32

I know I haven't posted weeks 29 and 30 yet. I jumped ahead, to use some new digital products from Sahlin Studio. Right now I'm four weeks behind... I hate getting behind. Mix that in with the fact that school started last week, the kids activities are all starting up, and I have hardly had a chance to catch my breath.

The next few weeks will have me being up at the kids school. A lot. Being the volunteer coordinator takes a lot of time. Especially in September... By October things slow down a bit, but the next few weeks are going to look like a dogs breakfast... [what exactly that looks like, I can't say] The next few weeks will be chaos. It sounds like I'm complaining. I'm not. I'm grateful to be in the position to spend my days at the school. I'm grateful that I don't have to juggle work and volunteer time. I'm grateful my kids still get excited to see me at the school. I'm grateful that I know the kids teachers.

Anyway, here is week 31:


When I was going through pictures for this week, I surprisingly had very few, for both week 31 and 32, so I ended up enlarging [here it was 8x12] to take up a bit more space.  I'm sorry that the quality of the pictures aren't great... I think I've finally figured out how to make the pictures show up a bit better, without the glare... I'll try that with the next batch.

It's always my intention to add more 'physical memorabilia' but I am terrible at it. I was pleased to include our movie ticket stubs as well as the little Canadian flag that adorned a meal we got at a restaurant on 'date night'. Some people are so good at adding in little trinkets. I collect stuff, but I don't feel like I have a knack for adding them in. Going to try harder to do that. 

Week 32:

Again, I had a large picture [6x12] take up extra spaces.  One of our trips up Nose Hill. I love that Madelyn was flying a kite, but was much more interested in the critter in the grass. She is a bug girl through and through.

The little square photo collages were easy to do, just used the app PicFrame on my iphone. I use that particular app a lot.
