Project Life!

By Pamela
I learned about Project Life this past year from a blogger, Marty's Musings. I loved the concept. And if any  of you have scrapbooked with me in the past you might also know that I am a huge fan of Becky Higgins. The fact that she is the creator of Project Life sealed the deal for me.

I LOVE scrapbooking but I find that I am forever behind and never seem to make the time to get my albums complete. This year, I am going to give Project Life a shot.  According to Becky Higgins' promotional materials, Project Life is scrapbooking without the "scrapbooking".  There is no glue, no techniques, no layout design. 

I am so optimistic about this I just can't wait to get started!

Let me walk you through my Project Life:


You start with a binder. Next, you get some divided sheet protectors. The basic premise is that there are spaces for title, journaling blocks, and photos. There are enough sheet protectors for 52 weeks; one per week.

Besides the binder and sheet protectors, you should purchase a Core Kit. The Core Kit includes 500 3x4 Journaling Cards, 40 Bi-fold Journaling Cards {For more writing}, First Page Cards, Last Page Cards, and then 60 4x6 Title cards.

In addition, because The Husband loves me, he purchased some "extra's". He purchased two different sizes of pre-cut coordinating cardstock cards, and then month dividers.


I am so looking forward to sharing my progress with you! Let's get started.

My Weekend Project: A PVC Camping Lamp Post and Flag Holder

By Pamela
I have seen a few of these around campsites and I knew I would like to have one. The only problem that I had is The Husband. He already thinks we drag too much stuff with us when we go camping and if I had told him my desire to have a PVC Camping Light Pole he would have shut it down quickly! So, that leaves a girl with only one choice: Figure out how to do it by herself. I did some internet searching and found a few road maps on RV forums. They seemed easy enough! I visited the local hardware store for the supplies: An exterior post lantern light 2 inch PVC pipe (I used 5 feet but had to purchase a 10 foot piece) A 3 inch toilet flange A 3 inch to 2 inch Reducer PVC Glue A 12 foot electric cord kit 2 - 3/4 inch PVC Caps I also used a few supplies we already had on hand: White Spray Paint 3 1/2 foot - 3/4 inch PVC Pipe Drill Bits (1 inch and 1/2 inch) Tent Stakes The first step was preparing the lantern light. I could only find black i...

Liver Cheese: A Family Tradition

By Pamela
Today is an anniversary date. One of those dates you wish you did not have to remember but there is no way you can forget.  Fifteen years ago today,two days after his birthday, my father died of lung cancer. He was a lifelong smoker and his cancer was aggressive. His battle was short. He fought for six short months after his diagnosis. He knew the chemo was not working and that his time was limited. When he came to this realization he became the best dad in the world.                                                In the days before my father's passing, my family shared some memorable moments. One of those moments centers around the deli meat: Liver Cheese.I would not be surprised if you have never heard of it, or even never tasted it. But I was raised on it as it was one of my Dad's favorite things.  What is it? Well, it is a German food that is...

Tonsillectomy (Warning Photos!)

By Pamela
The Short Chic came down with a pretty nasty case of strep throat back in April. So, when The Boy started complaining about his throat hurting about 12 days later, I was pretty confident that he had inherited his sister's strep. Instead, The Boy was diagnosed with a peritonsillar abscess growing on his right tonsil.  We had to immediately see an ENT  Physician who took a needle and drained the abscess. He removed about 5.5 cc of puss from The Boys throat.and then told us that once you have a peritonsillar abscess you were high risk to keep getting them. The Boy's tonsils were now compromised and needed to be removed.  We were told to plan for a two week recovery so we worked a surgery into our summer plans. Between family vacations, summer sports, and the beginning of school The Boy had his second surgery. A tonsillectomy.  Pre-surgery prepping went well. It must be nice to be young and have healthy veins for an IV! The Boy had lots of pre-surgery vi...
