Project Life 2013....Week 22

Just found a bunch of Project Life weeks that I hadn't shared yet so here we go with Week 22.  I'll be skipping around my weeks but should be more on schedule after August.  

I was in catch up mode when working on this spread so I reached for lots of handmade journaling cards that I had in my stash.  Plus I had just gotten my first Gossamer Blue Life Pages stamps so I wanted to try them out. 

This was Memorial Day week and the girls were still in full swing with Summer League volleyball and basketball.  Plus I was just getting some porch planters filled.  

We had some beautiful scenery from Mother Nature this week and had a fun time at my niece's graduation party.  

Every single year we go to the Memorial Day service at our small cemetery.  Like clockwork the ceremony starts at 10:15 am.  I typed right onto the photo and added a date stamp and some stickers to note the week. 

Volleyball in full swing.  I used some stamps to add images directly to the photo.

Some trimmed out images from the first Gossamer Blue stamps from the August kits. I've been picking up like new stuffed animals for Charlie from the Good Will store.  He loves on them then tears their eyes out.

More stamps from the Gossamer Blue kits.  On the right one, I typed inside the stamp while the image was still on a larger sheet of patterned paper....then trimmed out the image.

My niece just graduated from paramedic school....and someone who is as short as Josey. :)

Some pork butts on the smoker and this hilarious photo of Charlie.  He will do anything for a snack..like wear Jordan's basketball headband.

I love these two pretty inserts.  I added chipboard and sequins and a little gold foil tag from the shop.

I love capturing photos like Eric's ketchup blobs.  The dude puts ketchup on everything and it irritates me to no end.  I set a nice home cooked meal in front of him and he slops ketchup on it before he even tires it.  I get creepy chills just looking at that photo.  On the right, I'm happy to have snapped this photo of Josey laying on the church pew, covered up with an old quilt.

Here I add a printed quote that I just love and am really taking to heart.  The hoarder in me has a hard time parting with things but each time I go to clean out an area, I think about this.  I give myself about 10 seconds to make a definite YES or NO choice.  I need to make this into a poster.

That's it for this week.  I'm looking forward to a busy weekend, kicking things off with a movie tonight then it's all about canning jalapeno jellies this weekend.  Josey is headed off to the lake with a friend.  We're all about enjoying these last two weeks before school starts.  I don't want Summer to end!

Note:  I know a few of you are anticipating my post about my new calendar system for Project Life.  I haven't forgot about it....but it just might have to wait until school starts so that I can spend time with my family.  I'm hoping to incorporate it into some posts that show my current Project Life work area, some organization and more.  So it won't be long.  :)
