Project Life | Week 45

It's almost weird to know that this post is the second post of 2016. It's so weird to type that and I almost typed 2015 (of course). I just have a few more weeks of Project Life to share. I decided that I'd stop at week 48 and document all of December in December Daily instead of in weekly project life spreads that literally wouldn't fit into the album (it's so full).

Here's the left side. I listened to the Big Magic audio book (again) while doing some baking this week. My order from Color Cast Designs (here) arrived this week as well. I used a bunch of her embellishments in my December Daily album and I love how they look. Her acrylic pieces are my fave.

Here's the front of the insert. I was doing a lot of baking, and that cookie cake looks beautiful!

Here's the second half of the week. My birthday was this week, and the back of the insert and the left side of the right page cover my birthday.

The back of the insert contains the sunrise, our inappropriate sense of humor, and the only snow in the area on my birthday. Which is a little crazy.

Here's the right side. I accidentally was within touching distance of a Ferrari, had the cookie cake for my birthday instead of cake, and bought myself a few new books.

On Wednesday and Friday I'm sharing the last half of my December Daily album. I hope you'll come by and check out my pages.

Project Life: Week Forty-Five

Good afternoon. I'm a little bit late with this post. Yesterday was a busy day, and I had meant to photograph this spread yesterday morning before my niece came over, and then work on the post after she left. Long story short, I didn't do either of those things. Instead I slept in, showered and played the new Captain Toad game for Wii U. It's so much fun, but also a huge time suck. So this morning I skipped Captain Toad and photographed this spread. But then I played a bit of Captain Toad while the photos were uploading, and let's just say I forgot to work on the post. But I'm doing it now, so that's what counts right?

This week I used Studio Calico, Midnight, and Dear Lizzy. I'm not sure yellow was the right choice for this week, given that it snowed, but I wanted to use that november card, and it tied in the yellow from the popcorn, and the antlers.

Here's the left side. My weeks start on Sunday, so this was the trip home after the funeral. It rained until about half way home, then it turned immediately into winter. We came over a hill, and suddenly snow, and lots of it!

Here's the right side. This was mostly about the middle of the week and our trip to Edmonton for my birthday. We shopped at Ikea, saw a movie (I included the tickets and giftcard we used), got stuck in typical city traffic, and stayed at a hotel (kept the room key). We came home early-ish the next day and I assembled my new craftroom furniture. It's much prettier than what I had in there before.

Thanks for coming by to see this spread. Sorry it's later than usual, the holidays are a busy time of year! Hope you all have a great day!
