My Lifetime Story - Week 3 - Family Tree

Happy Wednesday everyone. I love short weeks, though having Monday off has thrown me a bit and I have trouble remembering what day it is this week.  Oops!

So it is time for week 3's My Lifetime Story prompt at Faithsisters.com.  The prompt this week is to create your family tree.  Here is a link to the details Week 3.  I decided to keep mine simple and not go back very far. There were a few details I didn't know so I left them blank to fill in later when I discover them.

I am proud to say that I created this word art myself with this quote that I just loved!

 

Thanks for looking!!!

My Lifetime Story Week 2 - Here I am

We started the second week of My Lifetime Story over at Faithsisters on Wednesday.  This week's prompt was to scrap about your birth. I am lucky enough to have my baby book as I go through this challenge and was so excited when I found that there were 2 of my birth announcements in there.  So I was able to use one of the actual announcements on my layout.

This is a close up of the birth announcement:

The journaling:

A baby photo of myself. I didn't have one from the day I was born, but this is just a couple months old, so it was close enough.

thanks for looking!!!!  Will be back later with an update for Project 365

January 6 - I stayed home on Wednesday with a terrible migraine headache. I woke up around noon to find this present from Finn laying on the floor beside the bed...shredded toilet paper!!!  And even better is that I cleaned it all up, went back to bed and when I woke up again at 5, he had shredded it again on the other side of the bed. 

January 7 - I stayed home again on Thursday and when I got up late in the afternoon, I felt well enough that I could go online and check out some of the blogs that I follow.  As I was reading, Finn decided he needed to be right in my sightline.  Kind of hard to read that way!!!

January 8 - I wanted to scrap over the weekend, but I knew I couldn't do it with the pile of "stuff" left over from last weekend's scrap-a-thon, so I had to clean it up first.  It looks so nice and organized.  Too bad it doesn't stay like that.  It was destroyed again as soon as I finished the first layout later that night.

January 9 - I know the photo says that this was taken on January 10th, but it was just after midnight on the 9th, so I am counting it as a photo for the 9th.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE Starbuck's vanilla bean frapaccino's with no whip.  I bring them home and put them in the freezer. Then later they are even slushier to eat than when I got it.  YUMMMMM!!!  Wish they made a light version tho!

My Lifetime Story Week #1

Wahoo!!  The challenge at faithsisters.com has officially started and I am so excited.  This week's prompt is to create your title page for the album you will create this year. More information can be found here

My Lifetime Story Week 1.

When I sat down to create my title page, I knew I wanted to showcase some photos of myself through the years.  I have to admit, I had alot of photos to start with and had a hard time narrowing them down.  There were ones that I absolutely loved and even some that I hated, but they were me....the true me, so I included a couple of those too. The interesting thing for me was to see all the photos laying on the page together because I realized that I have had the same cheeks from day 1....and I think they are kind of cute. I had never seen that before.  So already this challenge has made me see things about myself I didn't know.  Anyway....on to the layout.  I included lots of flowers and bling because those are two of my favorite things.

Some close ups:

I hope that you will venture over to Faithsisters.com and check out the challenge.  I am looking forward to the next 51 weeks and discovering more about myself.

I will be back tomorrow with more of my 365 photos...have a good one from today.
