Can I have a weekend do over?
My Mom went in for surgery on Friday, and while everything went well, the whole situation is really stressful. It isn't easy to see your Mom in a hospital bed.
I feel like I'm a little late finishing Week 3 of Project Life, but this week was a lot more fragmented than the past 2. But still being able to finish off a week with a few minutes here and a few minutes there makes me happy. I feel like I couldn't finish a card like that.
My first page for this week. I mentioned last week about my kidney stones, this week I had a CT scan to see what was going on. I included a photo of my kidneys from the scan along with my bracelet from the hospital. I was actually pretty excited to be able to print one of the photos - looking at the scans was really fascinating.
Here's my second page. Paczki from the baker shop, one of our first real snowfalls, a $750 bill for car repairs (hence the ouch), a photo of Bill and I at Phipps, a movie ticket.
And some close ups.. a heart penny rug my Mom made for me..
My map paper covered lampshade and some of the leftover paper..
A photo post-manicure - I like the around-the-photo journaling on this one, and details about my kidney stones and CT scan. Might be a little weird, but was a big part of life for a while.
Bill and I went to Phipps Conservatory on Sunday, and this week I added an insert to my other pages with some photos from the day. We were there for the orchid show, which I love.
These are 10" x 12" page protectors from American Crafts. They were perfect for the photos I had, which were a combination of verticals and horizontals.
Love these photos.
A lot of times when we go to Phipps I leave the camera behind and let Bill take the pictures, but this time it was fun to take the other one along as well so we were both taking pictures. It was a good day, and I'm glad to have the extra pictures to include.
Thanks for stopping by to check out my third week. Still loving it!
Have a great night!

Hope things get better for your mother. My mom is scheduled for surgery Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to see how you can document the little things... one of these I'll take the plunge-- keep talking about tackling this project in minutes and you might sell me.
ReplyDeleteStopped by from The Mom Creative, and I wanted to say how great your pages are looking.
ReplyDeleteLove that you added in the bakery card from your paczki. I LOVE paczki (pity our closest Polish bakery is about an hours drive away, otherwise I would eat them everyday!)
I hope your Mom is doing well :)
I'm keeping your mom in my thoughts - hope she is well on her way to recovery. And for you - so glad to hear that your kidney stones are gone! I'm really enjoying your Project Life posts. The photos from the Orchid Show are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnya, Your Project Life is coming along beautifully - you are really capturing all the things normally taken for granted - the beautiful flowers, the rug from your mom, the bakery treats - all the little things that make it so wonderful to be alive! I hope you and your mom are both doing better!! Hugs :)
ReplyDeleteyour pages look great! I love all the details included...it is NOT weird to put the kidney stones stuff :)

ReplyDeleteYour pages are beautiful. Love that you used some leftover map paper.
ReplyDeleteHope that everything is well with your mom. I took care of my mom after open-heart surgery & I agree that it isn't easy to see a parent in that position.
Blessings to you!
Anya - your pages are stunning. Hope your Mom is doing okay and on the mend. Love those orchid photos - AMAZING.
