Project lif week 8




I am so excited, I think I finally got my computer and camera to finally decide to be friends and I can finally share my layouts. Week 8 Was filled with alot of challnges- doctor apts, getting laid off from my night job, still working on house repairs from our flood mishap a couple of weeks ago and a few other things.I still stuck wiht capturing the week has it happened and am so glad I did...after all it shows life is all asspects...the good, the bad and the ugly!

I have alos been attempting to be a little more creative and was thirlled with how this week came together. I have been doing alot of sorting and purging of my scrap supplies and came acrost some 12 x 12 papers that had 12 squares (assorted little cards on them) I stared at them for a bit and said WAIT A MINUTE!!!..this size looks mighty familiar!!! so I grabbed my scissors and carefully cut each square apart and sure enough a PERFECT fit for my project life pages..YAHOO!!!. I took this discover one step further and went back digging thur my boxes of tiny stuff and each card got "dressed" I love that I used stuff fro my stash and how it all came together!

This this is my firs time posting my PL pages here is a few things that I am doing to make my pages more "ME" I love butterflies and I love hidden picture games so...Each week there are hidden buttrflies on my pages. sometimes they are easy to find sometimes not...buty they are there! Also on each title card I am including advice people have given me on how to live my life to the fullest. this week title "just roll with it" couldn't have been more perfect for this week..HA HA!!
This weeks pictures include A picture of my new nephew at 6 months old, My new PL goodies, a evening walk, an insert wiht lunch wiht friends, a pictue of me (and week 7 wiht my cast..ack!, a new cereal I tired..YUM! me and my cat nestle, Nestle helping me work and Indy relaxing!

Survivng the great flood of 2012

Whew!...just when I thought the last few weeks were tough- life has more curveballs in store! We are still in the process of getting the house back in order after the flood in the bathroom and still have a long ways to go.

I went to the orthopedic for my wrist last friday and I was so excited for a minute that I would Finally get my cast off..but he decided another three to four more weeks would allow it to heal fully and overall have a better rate of healing correctly...ACK!

I also went to a cardologist last week and will be having more test done soon and a visit to a neologist is tomorow...hopefully we can figure out some of the problems I have been having soon.

on the happy news I competed week 7 of my PL only hours after midnight on saturday and was so thrilled to be that current.

Friday found Becky Higgins finally having stock - I wanted to order supplies so badly but had appointments....the story became so funny I sahred it with Becky and she sahered it on her blog...here it is:

Please bear with me as this will be another topic for another day. We’re working on a lot of product development right now. A lot. I know there are many questions on what we’re working on and when it’s going to become available. We’re super excited that you are anxious for the next round of new items.

Not only do I prefer to have more information before I share any more, but I also have been completely consumed with today’s shipment arrival and really need to get through this weekend with so much going on. I literally gave play-by-play updates as products were showing up on Amazon shelves, and I personally answered most questions that were asked on facebook, twitter, and here on my blog. As Ellie in New York stated on twitter today, I would TOTALLY wear a t-shirt saying I survived the Feb 2012 Project Life Re-stock. Ha! No kidding, sister. : )

On a similar, funny note: Dawn in Arizona said this on facebook today: “I kept checking all morning and was totally stressing out since I had to leave to go to my cardiologist appointment. My doctor even commented my blood pressure was high and I said, You have no idea… I NEED my project life stuff and I just know they are going to be out before I get home! He gave me a crazed look and I was so relieved when my phone decided to finally corporate so I could place my order. He came back to check my blood pressure a few minutes later and it had gone down. He said, Wow! That must be important stuff to stress you out that much! HA HA!!!

Trust me – we do not intend for the ordering process to be stressful. Ultimately we would love to have an insane amount of inventory for every single product so that we never run out. But right now we’re doing the best we can.

gonna love lifes challenges!....NOT!

Where do I start on the last few days? Life has defintely been full of challenges lately- does this mean its going to be filled with rainbows and pots of gold soon?,,,,HA HA! Lets see, this week found me getting a new cast for my left hand-the other one was really hurting and was sliding around too much. Fingers and toes crossed this friday it will be off for good...It's been a long run with it (dec 17 from when I first broke my wrist) Tuesday I got a write-up at work- I understand why but don;t understand why others don't get write-ups for leaving meds out or not showing up on time...mine was for not signing a form..ACK! Then Wednesday I spent the entire day in the ER due to high blood preasure and then battled the next two days being sick from the meds they gave me. Friday and Saturday found me spending allt of time thinking over what direction I want to go in my life right now...changes need to be made...but how to go about them...hmmm??? Sunday found me coming home from work with the hall and bathroom flooded and only getting a few hours of sleep after dealing with getting the water extracted and such.

On the bright side of things...I have been getting my picture of the day (even on the not so good days)and keeping up on my jounaling cards....Week 6 is just about completed....not to get the camera and computer to corpoarate so I can fianlly post everything!
