This week was the epic 50 hour work week, broken down car, super stressed out, week. Not many pictures were taken so I was able to work some of the new stamps I have into the layout. I’m learning that I love a good chevron pattern, whether it be paper, stamp, or fabric. This stamp and this stamp are featured in the 3×4 slots on the last page of the layout. I love them both. This was also the week that we spent 4 hours trying to locate the owner of “Fluffy” (who was an ungrateful brat, by the way) after I had worked that super long week. 
I added some patterned paper to the back of the insert (I am hoarding so much paper!) and with the lack of pictures it was a good opportunity to get rid of some of it. And yes, that is a sloth in the bottom right hand corner (it was part of my work week, strange, I know). Another easy week, done, and in the book. You can’t really tell from the pictures but my second cobalt binder finally arrived from Amazon and this layout, along with the rest of Year Four are resting comfortable inside of it. This is the longest I have stuck with a project of this sort and I am proud of myself.
I also love the sense of community that comes along with doing Project Life and keeping up with everyone’s updates each week. Its nice to be able to scrapbook without children filling up the pages, and its nice to see other people doing the same. I love that each page doesn’t have to tell a specific story. Traditional scrapbooking and I never really jived in that sense. Every page had to tell of an event or something monumental (in my mind) and Project Life is exactly opposite and I love it. It makes each week, note worthy, not just the big events. With being so far away from family and friends sometimes it feels like we aren’t doing anything so “monumental” here in Texas and its nice to have something to anchor to, to look back on and remember what we did each week.
As always thank you for following along! Happy Sunday!
