Project Life 2017: Week 41

I love the Project Life can keep changing to what works best or is more aesthetically pleasing. I'm wanting to make some changes. None that will cause any extra stress, but to keep my layouts more streamlined, cohesive, and pleasing to my eye. I'm happy to learn and change in order to make that happen. 

Project Life 2017: Week 40

This week we traveled to Missouri and back to surprise Brandon's brother for his 40th birthday.

Project Life 2017: Week 39

Hello! I've been absent for a while. My computer's hard drive needed to be replaced and that took a while. Once I got my computer back, I worked on our parent's photo calendars. Now I'm hoping to devote more time to Project Life and getting caught up. I had hoped to complete 2011 and 2017 this year, but I haven't even gotten through 2017 yet. I'll just keep plugging away.

As much as I don't like being behind, I enjoy working on a previous year (2011, for example) while working on the current year because it allows me to look back at precious photos. I just love pictures.

2018 starts tomorrow! Of course I'm a handful of weeks behind until I can start scrapbooking 2018, I've been thinking about our cover page, photos that we'll take tomorrow, and some questions to ask each of us to further document this time in our lives. I also need to search out a new font and week brushes to use for 2018. Other than that, not a whole lot is changing. Keeping it basic helps: photos, stories, brushes.

These three spreads are mainly from our fall party. It was our seventh party in our eight years living here.

Project Life 2017: Week 38

Because we love the barn and knew it could collapse soon, I took lots of pictures with it. And it's what we see when we look out our front windows. A few weeks ago, the barn was pulled down due to safety concerns. It is so sad to look at now. We've loved that barn for eight years. It has almost made me cry a few times since it's been down. It's crazy how a barn can make you feel that way. I'm happy I have pictures of it like the one below. I think sometimes we can take for granted the things that we are used to seeing everyday. Document it. You never know when it won't be the same.
