My daughter Madison is such a HUGE sweetie pie and she's always finding flowers for me whenever we go outside to play.  Now that she's getting older I wanted to be sure and record this, not only for her to remember one day...but for me to remind myself when she no longer does it. :)

 

I hope you're all having a wonderful week so far.  My mother-in-law gets here tonight for a visit and we're all so excited to see her!  I've been doing Spring cleaning this week to get ready and it feels soooooo good to get it done.  Hmmmm, maybe I should do a layout about Spring cleaning?  Lol...have a great one!!  Thanks for stopping by today...

Project Life Week #3

Hello friends!  I know it's been a while since I shared a Project Life spread with you but I just haven't had the time to work on it these past few weeks.  That's what I love most about this process though...I don't let it bother me if I get "behind" and I just work on it whenever I get the chance to.  I have a really cool app on my phone called Day One that helps me keep track of the journaling too so that helps. ;)

Anyway, I have a new spread to share with you today!  This week I changed it up a little bit and used less pictures so that I could include some longer journaling, a really cute quote, and also to have a couple of blank cards to play around with, which I stitched on!  Talk about fun...

Aren't they great?  Each time I finish one of these weeks, I just stare and stare at it, lol.  I guess that means I love it though and I'm really enjoying working on it, so yay me!  It was really awesome pulling out my stitching supplies because it's been WAY too long since I did some stitching on my projects and I love how it looks!  I'm planning on ordering the new Amy Tangerine kits (have you seen those???) to try out so I'm sure you'll see some of those designs soon...
