Project Life update and news!

Hi everyone! Hope your week is going great!

Did you happen to catch Craft Wars Tuesday? It was so great. My friend Christy was on the show, I just love what she did. I wont spoil it for anyone but if you haven't caught the show, you shouldn't miss it! Its on TLC. I would LOVE to try out for the show but I am TERRIBLE under pressure. I would crack LOL!

I am counting down the days until I can spill the beans on one of my secrets! Only a few more days to go until I can shout it from the roof!! I am SO excited!!

..........

First I am sharing Week 19, 20 & 21:

We had a wonderful dinner at an Italian restaurant. We had lots of fun and giggles. And I showed her this week how to flat iron her hair and how to do some other things with her hair.

This week was also my daughters first Choir concert. She was so great! She loves to sing, its one of her passions. Sorry some of it is blurred, I had to blur out the names of her school and classmates.

I'm a proud mommy!! Shes so fabulous!

The theme for these weeks is Dear Lizzy.

This week was fun and hard. Mothers Day weekend I got a wonderful breakfast from my hubby and my DD gave me a sweet handmade gift and hubby gave me flowers too. We had the solar eclipse this week. I watched my nephew on the weekend. And I sadly had to take my daughter to the hospital. Her asthma was giving her trouble. But she is ok now.

We also had some fun this week. I got to spend allot of time with my nephew. We had a blast hanging out together. And hubby put up some pretty climbing flowers in the planters. I got lots of happy mail which I LOVE!

Just a great month. Better than Feb-Mar-Apr which was pretty hard for me. I am so glad to finally have some happiness in my life. Its nice for a change.

Thanks for letting me share my Project Life today and sharing my daily life with you. I hope you enjoy what I share and find inspiration in my work. 

Let me know if you like seeing the supply list or not. It takes allot of time to put it together and I want to make sure it is useful for everyone.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Santa Cruz Mini Album

Hi everyone!! :) Hope your week is off to a great start!It is SO nice to be feeling good again and getting my MOJO back. Hes been lost for a long time while I went through some hard times. But its made a good return and I have been busy busy creating with Project Life, a Mini Album and designing some new stamps that you will be seeing in the next month or two. I have some BIG announcements coming in July and August and I can't wait to share with you. It's eating me up holding them secret. lol
Today I am sharing a Mini Album I did of our trip to Santa Cruz, CA area. We had so much fun on our trip. We visited Santa Cruz, San Jose and San Francisco. 
All the supplies I used will be listed 
Album Cover:

I used the album from October Afternoon 9 to 5 collection. I love this album. 

Travel Record. We are heading to Santa Cruz RV Resort in Felton, CA.

Our Pomeranian Prince was having fun driving us to the yard to pick up our trailer. LOL! He was so sleepy he passed out! (We were parked for this picture)

The second day on our vacation we drove to San Jose to visit the Winchester House. While my daughter and hubby toured the house I went to a local Scrapbook store. It was a great day!

For dinner on this day we went to Buca di Beppo! YUM! Was so good!

Third day we hung out at camp all day to check out the campgrounds. I went for a walk around the camp while hubs and kid went to get her a scooter since we forgot our bikes (oops!)

Fourth day was the BEST day! We took a trip to San Fran!! It was so much fun!! We drove over the Golden Gate and then we drove around and checked out the town. We had lunch at The Original Buffalo Wings ... omgosh it was SO SO good!! We drove down Lombard St. and it was so neat! Then we headed to Pier 39 to check out the shops and sights. The pups got the most attention at the pier! We stopped and picked up Joes Crab Shack for dinner then went to the park and ate. While we were stopped me and my girl spotted some super cute Owl hats and we HAD to have them!

LOL! Such a blast!

Fifth day I stayed at camp to rest my back from all the fun in San Fran. I was so sore. So hubs and kiddo went to the Roaring Camp and road the train. So fun!

Then they went down to Santa Cruz and played at the Santa Cruz boardwalk. They had a BLAST! I wish I could have gone too. The kiddo got a bracelet and rode a TON of rides over and over. She had so much fun! Then they went mini golfing. And for dinner they brought me fish and chips and clam chowder from the boardwalk. It was so amazing!

The next day we headed back to Santa Cruz to do some antiquing and shopping. I found an AMAZING art store called Palace Art Supplies. It was HUGE and had so much great stuff. I got some great goodies there. Then we drove down to see the lighthouse and the ocean. We had dinner at a little greek restaurant, it was amazing.

Almost everyday my hubs made us pancakes, he makes the best! They were so good! We watched some movies together and relaxed. Enjoyed some smores over the campfire YUM!

It was just a great, great vacation!! We had so much fun! So sad that its over but we were all also homesick. Kinda glad to come home! :)

I hope you enjoyed my mini album and thanks for letting me share with you my fun and amazing vacation with my family!

Next, when I get time, I want to do a mini with this daybook. I just love Amy's stuff.

.......

I will be back soon with some Project Life updates. Trying to get caught up after vacation on everything! Missed everyone and will be getting around to visit tonight and tomorrow.

Off to blog hop and work on some art!

Thanks for stopping by!

Project Life Week 18 and updates!

Hi friends! How are you?Hope you all are having a great weekend! I am enjoying this long weekend. So far I have spent the weekend with my nephew and watching/hanging out with him. We have had so much fun.
It is SO nice to finally get my MOJO back and get back into my routine. After 2 surgeries for a lumbar epidural steroid shot in my back for me, my Dad going through 2 surgeries on his heart, taking my daughter to the ER last weekend to find out what was going on with her because she was coughing so much and was having chest pains and couldn't breathe very well ... just with everything thats happened in the past two months I have been very stressed, depressed and worried. But now that my Dad is doing better, I am doing better and my daughter is getting better I feel so much better without all the worries on my mind. 
I just want to say thank you to all my wonderful friends who have been so great through all of this and have given me so much support and lifted me up when I needed it so badly. Thank you so much! I love you all.
To get my mind off the worries and onto the fun hobby I have been neglecting I decided to work on my Project Life. And I have to say I am having a blast with it! And I would love to share with you all!! (: (:
If you haven't heard of PL ... where have you been? Just kidding. If you want to check it out, go HERE to the website. But beware you might get hooked! (:



I have been working/starting with Week 18. I am going to try and get most of week 1-17 done but it will take a bit to get caught up so I am going to make those weeks pretty simple. 
But for week 18 I just love embellishing each card and picture. It's so much fun.
