What happened this week? It was a good week. We were home. We made it to the farmer's market. We started using cloth diapers. My photos were colorful.

Anything special in the spread? I used fun cards, badges and stickers from the Kelly Purkey August and September Project kit.

Techniques this week : I found that "Blessed…" image online. (No source to credit sadly.) I loved it so much that I had to print it 3×4 for a pocket. I added some text about how E and I started yoga this week.

Overall thoughts : I love this project. Have I already said that? Enjoying keeping it simple with a focus on the photos. Ellerie is becoming so much more animated and fun to photograph.

Ratio of iPhone photos to "real camera" photos : 6 to 3.

Ratio of photos taken by Elise to photos taken by Paul : All Elise plus a kind stranger at the farmer's market.

Supplies used : Seafoam core kit, Kelly Purkey August and September Project kit, Freckled Fawn wood chip arrow.

Tools used : Design A pocket pages, Fiskars corner rounder, Zig Millenium pen, Rotatrim paper trimmer, Office Depot date stamp, staz-on ink. All photos were printed at home on my HP Photosmart 2575 printer on Office Depot semi-gloss photo paper.

Project Life is a memory-keeping system created by Becky Higgins. I use photos, text and stuff to document our life weekly. You can see all the posts from 2012 here and 2013 here. Do you have a question about how I am tackling this project (including anything about the photos)? Check here.

    Found that “blessed” quote here (in a vertical style):
    http://www.covermytimeline.com/quotes/quote-blessed-are-the-flexible-for-they-shall-not-be-bent-out-of-shape/
    And found the same version from your PL here:

    Not sure if either are the original source(s) for it, but….there they are. 🙂

    Love that you’re already caught up and you’re staying up to date! I love the graphics you add to your PL (like the flexible quote and everything’s going to be OK) – I need to start collecting those for mine. 🙂
