A Month of Gratitude: Days 1-4

November has always been an interesting month. This year, I want to focus on the great things that I am thankful for. A few friends of mine have created Gratitude Journals (Van's, Melissa's, I'll add more if they blog them). Rather than a conventional mini, I'm going digital for this one. I am going to use Positively Present's 30 Day Photo Challenge: Gratitude 2011 and 2012. The photos are created using the Hipstamatic App that I love dearly. I've added my journaling via Picasa photo editing. I'm not going to necessarily stick to the same order however. The photos are going to be taken as I see opportunities.

Here are the first four days.

I have a lot to be thankful for. Pin It

MWM: Coral 6

I haven't played along with the MWM lately. It's been a little hectic. We are partially packed, a lot unpacked... And I'm struggling with the want to pack everything up. There's always this question of whether or not we will need something in the next few weeks. Although, the reality of packing stuff up and not caring that it's gone is also a realization that we might have too much stuff.

Anyway... Here is this week's MWM: Coral 6. There was a lot that I liked about the original sketch, although this layout ended up nothing like the sketch. Know however, the intent was there originally.

It was important to document this event. This little house has been so great to us. And even though we are moving into a much larger (and more size appropriate) house for four people, our first little house will always be home to us. It is bittersweet to see the cuteness of our little home, and know at some point soon, it will be instead be home for someone else. Pin It

Studio Calico Layout and a Birthday Card

I've not been crafting like I like to. Well, I made another layout, but haven't gone to Costco to actually grab any photos. I'm that crafter right now. We're in the middle of moving currently. Or rather, in the middle of packing stuff we don't use, while keeping the stuff we do use daily out. For instance: most of my clothes right now are in boxes. Fun, huh? And we don't move for another three weekends.

Anyway... Here's a layout that I created using a photo of Miss I that was taken just days before Little R was born. I even used the sketch from Studio Calico's sketch from 10/14.

This is a cute Silhouette file that I used for a birthday card. I've been a little lax this week and forgot to send it. I'm thinking I shouldn't be in charge of much lately. 

I had fun distressing this one. Enjoy! Pin It
