Currently I am...

seeing freshly fallen snow.

hearing the Silhouette Cameo (it's loud!) work overtime on projects for myself and a project for a friend.

smelling fresh baked cookies more often lately.  Bea loves the whole process and I love doing it with her.

touching paper, paint and glue.

loving it.

reaching my monthly Pinterest Challenge and Layout Mission two months in a row.

anticipating what would be Mikaela's third birthday coming up soon.

wishing she were here to celebrate it.

knowing something that I cannot tell yet!

overwhelmed (in a good way) with all the good fortune that has come my way lately.

excited about my first DT reveal tomorrow!!!

sneaking in a peek of the first Scrap Your Story Challenge (goes live tomorrow at 8am CST)!

:: announcing ::

I am a Design Team member at Scrap Your Story -- a new challenge blog!  You can see the official announcement here.  I encourage you to head on over there to check them out but the idea is: each Friday a new challenge will be announced and "due" the following Thursday at 11:59 PM (CST).  The challenges will rotate between a challenge that asks you to use something specific, base your LO on a theme, use a sketch, or use a particular technique. The rules are posted here.The first challenge will be announced this Friday, March 1st -- please join us and tell your friends!

project life :: week 4 & a new challenge blog

Holy busy week, Batman! This Project Life thing is fun!

week four :: page one

I apologize ahead of time::  for some reason many of my photos on this post are quite wonky! I took the photos while there was still light, and by the time I had a chance to check them out and see that they were wonky -- it was too late to reshoot!  

week four :: page two

Guess what?  I have an insert this week (it's becoming a habit).  This week I just needed an 8.5x11 insert for some err...uh....paper.... I got a speeding ticket.  Ugh. In our community we have these traffic cameras that catch ya -- and they caught me!  Bad part was, I didn't even know I was speeding!  Argh!  Oh well, I haven't had a ticket in a zillion years, so I suppose I was due??

The other side of the insert is a print out of this blogpost and several instagram photos of other blogposts -- to document the fact that although I had a very busy week this week, I still posted on the blog four times -- no wonder I got that speeding ticket, right?

Insert close up (back)

I love my quote this week!  And B.  Oh B.  Why won't you ever keep your clothes on!?!

Favorite pocket this week:: these cards!  I cut some cards to the right size and put them in B's art area.  Then all I had to do was wait until she made something for me.  YAY!  I will do this again.

 Favorite Story for Week 4 :: Hiding and eating candy

New Challenge Blog :: With a giveaway!  If you look to the right...there are a few new buttons on my sidebar.  One that I would like to highlight today is a new challenge blog -- Scrap Your Story Challenges.  I stumbled across the blog yesterday, and it looks exciting! Their first challenge will go live on March 1st, but you should check it out now because they have a giveaway that could be yours! 

Coming soon :: I have several Project Life pages to share and of course a layout or two.  Let's not forget that lovely new Silhouette Cameo -- I have several things to share involving that....
And one more thing....I have an announcement that I am bursting to share.......oh so many fun things ahead!  :-)

Later taters!
