It’s humpday and day three of my Spring staycation. And all I know is that I’m going to have to go back to work soon because I am worn out. The one thing I could really get used to is leisurely coffee on my back porch with glorious sunny, cool mornings.
It has been a very productive week so far though. On Monday Kelsey and I tackled her room.
With all of her kid stuff, highschool stuff, and college stuff, a good Spring cleaning was WAY overdue! So Monday morning, we took everything out of her room – clothes, books, papers. EVERYTHING. Six hours, three plastic tubs, and two garbage bags later here is the final product.
Since Kelsey is her grandmother’s granddaughter, a little room rearranging was in order too.
Then yesterday I tackled my front flowerbed.
I spent the afternoon pulling weeds and planting my summer annuals. This year I chose pink begonias and Super Elfin Mix Impatiens.
But it hasn’t all been hard work…yesterday morning I got to do something that I’ve been wanting to do for months. I started my Project Life album.
I’ll share more about that tomorrow though, because right now the morning sun is calling my name.
Peace, Kelly
Sounds like you’ve have a very busy, but productive staycation!! Have your done a PL before? I’m finishing up last years where I took a picture everyday; doing the last of the journaling! This year I’m trying something different. I’m doing more of a theme for the week, such as grandson’s birthday week or a photo trip I made. I just wanted to approach it differently! Hope you enjoy the rest of your week!! Don’t forget to take some time to relax!!
hi cathy! this is my first project life album although i’m a longtime scrapper. i love the idea of just having photos and a little journaling – takes some of the creative pressure off so to speak. 🙂 i’ve got some ideas for how i might approach PL (love your idea of a theme for the week btw), but mostly i think i’m going to let it be whatever it decides to be. on another note, i’m loving your picture b&w photos!! 🙂
Kelly,
Your daughter’s room looks great. I think taking everything out of a room makes so much sense. It’s easier to decide what you really don’t need or want.
This is my first year doing Project Life. I don’t think there is a right or wrong way of going about it. Somedays I take twenty pictures and others none at all. It just depends on the way the week rolls out. I do only a little journaling. I am completely enjoying documenting events, big and little.

oh i’m so glad to hear that you’re a newbie too. 🙂 i love that everyone can make it their own and adapt it to whatever/however many pictures they may have that week!
I have a lot of spring cleaning to do and I can’t get motivated!!! HELP!!! 🙂
it’s because you’re so dang tired from POURING YOUR OWN CONCRETE!! 🙂 LOL
