Finally Scrapping!

Wow, it has been way too long since I've spent any quality time in my craft room. I remedied that yesterday and completed 7 pages! I was especially excited to start the dance album for my youngest daughter, so I'll share those pages today.

Popped up the title panel

Had fun layering papers, punches, and ribbon!

Project 365: Week 10

Things were really hectic here this past week- my best friend's husband was in a terrible car accident on Monday and has been in ICU ever since. (Talk about deja vu). My birthday was Friday. Everyone in my house got sick this week. I had to work late a few days. Needless to say, our routine was off a little. I only managed to take a pic a few days, so here they are...

Sunday- Dancing with the Wii

Monday- Dance practice- Viv is in the middle with the black leotard

Wednesday- Courtyard at University Hospital, visiting my friend who's husband is in ICU

Friday- One kid sick at home, one at the bus stop

Saturday- My best friend today!

Project 365: Week 2

Are you stuck for photo ops, or just want to get a few new ideas for taking a photo a day? Check out She Suggests for 7 tips.

Here is my week...

Sunday

My daughter (far right) attended a dance workshop with the Wright State dance team. She loved performing with them at halftime!

 Monday

My favorite new toy- a back scratcher! My coworker got it for me, as one of the more recent and annoying health issues I am having is a terrible rash!

Tuesday

PIzza Hut for dinner after cheer practice. The kids get coupons for free personal pizzas when they read a certain amount each month.

Wednesday

So dark and cold waiting for the bus in the morning!

 Thursday

Viv made a heart in our front yard. She was so excited to see a little snow.

Friday

My niece's soccer game. She's on the left, #13. She scored a goal and her team won!

 Saturday

Here we go with the cheerleading pics again! Remember those from last year? I do love their color combo this season- they are my high school colors!

Hope you all have a great week!

Project 365: Week 1

I really enjoyed looking over my collection of P365 photos from last year- noticing the changes in my work and neighborhood, what the girls did at school and in their free time, meals I cooked... 2012 will be my third year doing the Project, and I envision doing something with the yearly photos. Sometime.

I personally snap shots of random stuff and daily life, but if themes are your thing, here are some interesting takes on P365.

Sunday- Scalloped ham and potates with lots of leafy greens for dinner

Monday- Starting to learn her dance routine for the spring recital

Tuesday- trip to the library

Wednesday- home for three days with Hand, Foot and Mouth virus

Thursday- lazy moms go to McDonald's for dinner!

Friday- playing with her wizard science kit

Saturday- the sun and warmth were welcome this weekend!

Saturday- Dressed up for date night with my hubs!

Project 365: Week 22

While it has been a busy week, as usual, I only took 35 pics this week.

I have a good excuse, both for that and for not blogging much lately. 

Unfortunately, my health problems have resurfaced, and I am having a flare of my Relapsing Polychondritis. While everything is manageable right now, I am more tired than usual, and have been advised by my doctors to take it easy. Less work, less stress, more rest. I have an uneasy feeling about this flare, so I am being the best patient I possibly can and abiding by their advice, more so than I usually do! So forgive me over the next few weeks as I post less and visit your blogs less!

Sunday- saw a gorgeous double rainbow in Columbus. The big one on the bottom actually made a full arch!

Monday- This is a section of a traveling mural made by people with disabilities, as part of the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Wednesday- Second dance practice of the week. We are gearing up for the recital!

Friday- Met a coworker for lunch at Panera.

Saturday- Morgan actually kicked the ball at today's game!

Project 365: Week 19

Busy week, as usual! 88 photos taken this week. Here's a few.

Sunday- Our toothless wonder! Lost her 4th tooth in the past 5 weeks!

Monday- Rehearsing the finale dance for her recital in June.

Tuesday- My wonderful friend Misty made these bracelets for me.

Wednesday- Lots of geese hang around the parking lot at work.

Thursday- This morning's commute was a strange mixture of fog and sun glare.

Friday- Morgan won a cake at her school carnival!

Saturday- Big ole' bunny hanging out in my neighbor's backyard.

Hope you have a great week! Thanks for stopping by.
