Project Life October 2014

Believe it or not I'm actually caught up with Project Life. (Okay, well...I may be lying a tad. I haven't scrapped September yet. I was sick of being behind so I just started back up with October. I was more motivated to do a current month.)

I tried for a more "put together" look this month. I used my typewriter a lot. (I'm not the best at it and I pretty much left all mistakes "as-is.")

I also printed all my pictures with a white border. I always think it's pretty when people do that with their pages and I like the cleaner look it gives my own. 

I did a lot of Halloween colors. Even with non-Halloween related things. It was also Mr. 246's birthday this month so that means...birthday week!

I had a fair amount of pull out things for when I wanted to include just one more thing or a little tid-bit.

A half page insert for our Pumpkin Patch trip...

I've been debating about what to do with cards. I just can't keep keeping them. They take up a lot of space and I'm still relatively young. I've decided I'm going to keep the super special ones and photograph the rest. That's what these two pages are: pictures of birthday/Halloween cards. Some of them aren't the right orientation and the pictures aren't the best but it's all very readable and takes up considerably less space than the actual cards.

See...I did keep some stuff! These are some random inserts I'm including as well. The two little books of memories reside in the birthday envelope.

More birthday celebrations...

A little pull out with pictures of Luna poking the cake, a little memory about Luna wanting nothing but cake and for good measure...I included the recipe as well!

Another little pull-out of a picture I just couldn't NOT include. There was a rabbit at the Autism walk and Luna insisted that it was the Peter Rabbit. So cute!

 A 12x12 page highlighting Luna's costume! (The picture didn't turn out so well of this one. Oops!)

More everyday life....

And a half page insert just for Halloween!

That's about it...I've been super quiet lately on the blogging front. (It's actually been quite nice! I think it might be too much for working full time and having a life and blogging but I'm going to make it a point to check in every now and then.)

Hope you're all well! Please feel free to leave a link to any Halloween or October project life pages you've done. I'd love to see them! Thanks for stopping by!

6 Awesome Things About Today

1. This conversation at work:

Resident: Do you have a computer at home?
Me: Yes...?
Resident: When you get home go to www.pussycat.com.
Me: [What the heck?!] ...oh? What's on that site? 
Resident: Me! They've got cameras hidden in the sprinklers. They're filming us right now.

2. Coming home to box sitting in my chair and finding out Mr. 246 bought me a new computer! My old laptop has been showing signs of impending death within the next couple months. I've been killing it with pictures and editing and videos and streaming. My 3 year old Black Friday Wal-Mart special wasn't gonna cut it anymore. I seriously have the best husband ever!

3. Luna can spell her name! I had Ryan helping her "sign" her name on the Father's Day cards we were sending out and he started to spell her name out loud and she finished spelling it! Mr. 246 and I looked at each other immediately and were like, "Is this really happening?! Did our child just spell her name?!" I quickly got out the camera to see if she would do it again and she did!

4. Getting sandwiches and having an impromptu picnic in the park for dinner. Luna played on the playground, we ate. Perfect weather. Delicious sandwiches. Awesomeness.

5. Only 17 days until we leave for OHIO! We're going to visit Mr. 246's family the first week and July and I am pumped! Also only 18 days until Luna turns two. I keep going between thinking, "How is she that old already?" and "She's only turning two?" It's hard to remember life before Luna. It doesn't matter I suppose. It's better with her here. :)

6. Ryan is kicking butt at grad school. I was so proud when he showed me feedback from his last paper. 

I hope you're all well. I've been trying to stay positive and calm and organized in this transition back to full time. I've been reading my go-to feel good book. I'd say it's been helping. Looking at the positive. I might even jump on this #100days bandwagon soon. What's been awesome in your life lately?
