It has totally transformed the way I scrapbook...the way I THINK about scrapbooking :) Here are just a few things I want to share...<br />
<div></div><ul><li>I am behind. It's a fact. But my attitude about being "behind" has changed. I can live with it. I can make it work. When LIFE allows, I will finish up those areas of Project Life that I am not quite done with...</li>
<li>I am totally doing a Project Life version of scrapbooking for both of my son's high school scrapbooks. Its the ONLY way they will ever get completed & it is so EASY. I love that the page protectors are so flexible...& easy enough to change if I want to add, subtract...you get the idea!</li>
<li>In just a few hours this past weekend, I was able to finish the month of January 2012...I am loving the Clementine edition. Here are photos of my January layouts. VERY simple. Very.much.done.</li>
</ul>Week #1:<br />

I am very much keeping it simple, especially because I am ALREADY behind for 2012. Skipping the extra inserts at this point. It is just a snapshot of our life and it is perfect...<br />
<br />

Adding a few stickers here & there, but that is the only extra embellishing that I am doing. I put the stickers directly on the photos or journaling cards. <br />
<br />

LOVE using the colored days of the week stickers on my journaling cards as a way to "bullet" journaling...it just adds a little something fun!<br />
<br />
Here's Week #2 as a spread:<br />

There are times when I go back through the photos that I took for a week & think, wow, we were busy and this is the best that I could do? I found myself looking for photos on my cell phone and also using Facebook uploads as a resource. Gotta love technology. It is our everyday life :)<br />

With Jeremy away at college, it is sometimes hard to find ways to include him in our Project Life...thats where Facebook comes in handy. Here I was able to pull a basketball game photo that had Jeremy in the student fan section. LOVE that! I used the arrow stickers to point him out in the crowd.<br />

Basketball is in full swing, so I find that seems to be a weekly feature in our Project Life. In my OLD ways of scrapbooking (before Project Life) basketball photos only ended up in the boys' school albums, but now they will be in BOTH. Makes.me.a.happy.momma.<br />

I am really loving the clean & simple look. I will be adding inserts when the photos call for it, but for right now the priority is to get the weekly layouts DONE!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, that pretty much takes me to the end of January 2012. Did I say earlier how much I adore the Clementine edition? It has just enough masculine design mixed in with a little feminine flair. It's absolutely PERFECT :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Ugghh! Seriously. Having a senior in high school this past school year has been an emotional ROLLER COASTER! Thanks for the memories Jeremy...we love you!<br />
<br />
So back to Project Life...my last blog post was on FEB 1st my friends...my Project Life kit had just arrived. Fast foward 5 months. I'm still taking pictures...mostly everyday. I'm still collecting bits & pieces from our everyday lives. Is my album current? That would be a negative. Am I giving UP? Not gonna happen! January 2011 is completely documented in our album. Our Febuary photos are chosen and being ordered this week & I started on the journaling this past weekend. I'm full steam ahead. I LOVE THIS PROJECT!<br />
<br />
Here's a glance at what our January 2011 looked like:<br />

I included an 8 1/2 x 11 insert on a child that we decided to sponsor...I wanted a way to add some journaling, so I chose to use a bi-fold journaling card. I wrapped it around the papers so I could journal on both sides; I then stapled it once and then slid the papers into a page protector. This also serves as a tab at the top of the page :)<br />

I have been a horrible blogger...like, my last post was in August 2010. YIKES. That is probably some indication that my life, our life, has been overwhelmingly BUSY. In a good way. MOST of the time :) I have many people tell me I need to learn to say NO. Hmmm...doesn't seem to be in my vocabulary!<br />
<br />
Project Life....<br />
<br />
I love you <a href="http://www.beckyhiggins.com/">Becky Higgins</a>....<br />
<br />
I want the turquoise album....<br />
<br />
& so I wait....<br />
<br />
patiently....<br />
<br />
you can bet that I will not procrastinate one more second when I see those babies are back IN STOCK!!!<br />
<br />
2011 seems like a perfect year for my family to document our life...everyday. We did this with Project 365 in 2009 - LOVED IT. Is the album completed? not quite...but the majority is & it will get done :)<br />
<br />
So back to why 2011 is the perfect year....<br />
<br />
It's a year of many happy times....and for sure, sad ones too....<br />
<br />
My oldest turns 18 in a matter of days....<br />
<br />
He is smack in the middle of making decisions that will affect the rest of his life....<br />
<br />
What an exciting time....<br />
<br />
But I'm telling you right now, that Momma is gonna be crying like a baby come August 2011....<br />
<br />
tears of joy, tears of sadness....<br />
<br />
and then what?<br />
<br />
Things will be different....<br />
<br />
Joel will be missing his big brother like crazy....<br />
<br />
& that, for me, will be the hardest part.<br />
<br />
So my goal with Project Life - Our Life * Milford 2011 is to capture the everyday...& the big stuff too! How about a peek at how things are looking so far:<br />
<br />
Jan 1st (Saturday): Lots of photos from this day! My family waited to get together for Christmas this year over the New Years holiday...what a way to kick off 2011! So I have decided that my opening pages of my album will feature photos from this day :) <br />
<br />
Here I am talking to my brother on ooVoo...this is a first for me. He is stationed in Africa & scheduled for leave at the end of January! Thank you for your service to our country!<br />

My brother, Craig aka Mountain Man...& his girlfriend, Karen! Cute couple, huh!?! Craig doesn't make it home very often, so it is always fun to have him around. & it was fun meeting Karen for the first time...hope we didn't scare her away! ha, ha!<br />

Jan. 7th (Friday): Jeremy vs. Rolla - takin' it to the hoop! Not the best photo...a little blurry...but I'm not going to sweat the small stuff. It is our life. (Did you notice no photo for Thursday? Again, not sweating the small stuff...)<br />

Jan. 9th (Sunday): So with Jeremy on the verge of 18, Dad decided today was the day. Jeremy's so-called peach fuzz was out of control. LOVE that I got this photo...like father, like son. Jeremy was about to KILL me, but that didn't phase me a bit :)<br />

First things first though...<br />
<br />
Yes. It has SERIOUSLY been a month since my last blog post. WHAT.THE.HECK.HAPPENED!?! Hmmm...maybe I had a case of burnout. Had to let the creative stuff go for a bit. I don't know about the rest of you...but if I am honest with myself, this blog-creating-posting-visiting thing can really eat up any free time I might have...<br />
<br />
ANWAY! I have missed all of my online scrappy buddies...I still visit you ;o) but I don't always leave a comment...sorry about that little detail!<br />
<br />
So back to the whole "melt in your mouth good"...<br />
<br />
I have had 4 zucchinis laying on my kitchen counter for longer than I want to admit. I made some zucchini bread that turned out pretty good. Then, about a week ago, Joel asked me if I could make a chocolate zucchini cake. Funny you ask kiddo, because I just happened to find a recipe...so, a week later, I finally found some FREE time (see above...) and made THE cake today. Joel & I had a piece while it was still warm....OMG!!! It was delish...<br />
<br />

Looks good, huh? You.have.no.idea.<br />
<br />
Zucchini Chocolate Cake<br />
<br />
2 1/2 c. sifted flour<br />
1/4 c. baking cocoa<br />
1 tsp. baking soda<br />
1 tsp. salt<br />
1 tsp. cinnamon<br />
1/2 c. margarine<br />
1/2 c. cooking oil<br />
1 3/4 c. sugar<br />
2 eggs<br />
1 tsp. vanilla<br />
1/2 c. buttermilk<br />
2 c. grated zucchini<br />
1 (6 oz) pkg chocolate chips<br />
<br />
Sift together flour, cocoa, soda, salt & cinnamon. Cream together butter, oil & sugar in mixing bowl until light & fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Blend in vanilla. Add dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk to creamed mixture. Beat well. Stir in zucchini. Pour batter into a greased 13x9x2 inch pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes (mine took closer to 50 minutes) or until cake tests done. 16 servings.<br />
<br />
So that it for today. No promises on my blogging. The boys start school on Wednesday - Joel will be a sophomore & Jeremy a SENIOR! Not possible! We have his senior photo shoot scheduled with <a href="http://www.ajohnsonphoto.com/"><strong>Amanda Johnson</strong></a> (she is going to take some family photos too!!!) and a couple of college visits coming up in September. This year is going to fly...<br />

Hope your 4th of July was fabulous...& you got a chance to kick back & relax! Me? Not so much. A wedding on Saturday. A baby shower on Sunday. Preparing burgers, hotdogs, & beans with our youth group for our city 4th of July celebration. No rest for the wicked. THEN I had to work on Monday. Is it the weekend yet???<br />
<br />
A little of this...<br />
<br />
My 17 year old son, Jeremy, left on a mission trip to Colombia last Friday - so proud of him! They made it to their destination safely and enjoyed 2 days @ the beach (only because they arrived during "holiday", so they were FORCED to go to the beach...ha, ha!) Today was the first day for working in the community and VBS. If you would like to check out their blog: <a href="http://www.servingfriends.blogspot.com/">http://www.servingfriends.blogspot.com/</a> Your prayers for a successful mission and safe travels back home would be much appreciated!<br />

Something *new for me* that I tried on this layout is the fun doodle line around the edge...I've seen it done by others but had never been brave enough to give it a try...call me a perfectionist, but it's really hard for me to do stuff freehand...I think it turned out pretty good :o)<br />
<br />
Also, brand spankin' new product on this layout includes the Jillibean Soup Corrugated Kraft Alpha and the Core'dinations Core Impressions Cosmo Cricket cardstock (thanks to <a href="http://www.designbydiana.blogspot.com/"><strong>Diana</strong></a>-part of the goodies I won on her blog!) LOVE that you can sand the Core'dinations cardstock & it reveals the cool pattern...<br />

I have read several blogs recently that indicate I am not alone in this "crazy, busy, hectic" life that we all lead! I really don't have anything scrappy to share @ the moment...several things in the works though!<br /><br />So excited for school to be OVER on Friday! My boys are just stressed & they have had it with school...can't really blame them! But they don't get much of a break during the summer either...it's just different though...in a good way!<br /><br />I'm counting down the days to a getaway planned for me & hubby during the month of June :o) I have been to Vegas 4 times on ALL GIRL trips, but hubby has NEVER been. I have promised to take him...well, we finally got the trip booked! We will be celebrating 20 years of wedded bliss...should be tons of fun! Hope to take in a couple of shows too...just gotta decide which ones! There are so many great ones! I think hubby would really enjoy the Blue Man Group and I could easily see the "O" show again...but it is so PRICEY!<br /><br />Well, that is about it for now...I have taken up reading again & am in the middle of another Nicholas Sparks book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Rescue-Nicholas-Sparks/dp/0446610399"><strong>"The Rescue"...</strong></a>I love his writing!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!

Hope this finds you all enjoying your day! Especially those of you that are MOMS! It is one of the hardest, but most fulfilling jobs on the planet...I love being a MOM to my sons...I gotta give them credit though...they make the job so EASY! Love you guys!</div><div><br /> </div><div>I have a fun layout to share with you today - I created this layout last weekend for National Scrapbook Day, & then just never had time to get it posted to my blog :o( I was just excited to actually have time to do some scrapping!</div><div><br /> </div><div>I played along with <a href="http://www.scrapbook.com/"><strong>Scrapbook.com</strong> </a>and entered the All Day Challenge and also did many of their hourly challenges...I didn't win anything, but I did it more for the fun of it anyway! The All Day Challenge was to create a layout that answered this question: WHY DO I SCRAP?</div><div><br /> </div><div>So, I grabbed the spring school photos of my sons & got busy! I created this 8 1/2 x 11 layout (have you all tried this size? I have all along been a die hard 12 x 12 scrapper, but really enjoy MIXING THINGS UP with the smaller size too!!!):</div><div><br /> </div><div>the REASONS why</div><div> </div><div> </div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469377002532028850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqE_3hmD0gjaScMx_64ceauLq-oJcLZTkSw1_nrYvjvXkRkpNSBFs3GSSutcnp8KZvtP4jggL9ROcpj_3pUsw8AtguhcZkNjb7E0-6bIRJQSrM70IUZDS9GVCVKzpNKm_3npEdCTBTUSJL/s400/P1120334_edited.jpg" /><br /><div></div>& here's a close up of my journaling:<br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 390px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469377004070040530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0IYcfgExuiq0d-_0Jo5JSHoifq9AaKHJPbGQjAQP__2jYauEtXg5HrDKkomSy3FiBqHuHthBn34adLELxRVMUjmXLDP3gPaN7LTLkMEplt-7nTk1fTluFFQEC-Q4jbKxD4ZoiOc4tv5l8/s400/P1120338_edited.jpg" /><br />I can't get enough of the Jenni Bowlin Die Cut Circle Label Mini Papers...they are so fun! AND the Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type Alpha! LOVE both of these scrappy products!<br /><br /><br />Not only did I use some brand spankin' new product on this layout, but I also dug into my stash for some older stuff too...LOVE it when that works out! It feels good!<br /><br /><br /><em>Supplies: White cardstock-Georgia Pacific (bought in bulk @ Walmart), PP-Daisy Bucket Designs-Playlist-Fast Forward & Shuffle (had these in my stash for quite a while...feels so good to use up older supplies!!!), Jenni Bowlin Die Cut Circle Lable Mini Papers, Cosmo Cricket-Tiny Type alpha in green, Making Memories-Mini Shimmer Alpha in Metro Black, Stampin' Up-Mini Deco brads & Black ink, Date stamp, Machine Stitching</em><br /><em></em><br /><em></em><br />Thanks for stopping by!

Who am I kidding? Apparently, only myself!<br /><br /><br />After a LONG withdrawal from all things scrappy...I snuck in a little bit of time last night. Want to know what inspired me? Well, the <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://americancrafts.typepad.com/">American Crafts blog</a>...that's what! They have fun challenges EVERY week, but this is the FIRST time I have actually played along!!!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTqDkeUtUgCTDyDnHwfrszjojwiwRyx3KVkovr0WOR7j2t8vqFXczg0DdQaCHkSBafsWeAoe9HIkqzDU73ZMfH5aN5EyGeR3VEmIUEz8JpRucKFEaKHALR0zHs0VnBMkpI9F6cT5tPsiU7/s1600/FLAIR+challenge.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 136px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTqDkeUtUgCTDyDnHwfrszjojwiwRyx3KVkovr0WOR7j2t8vqFXczg0DdQaCHkSBafsWeAoe9HIkqzDU73ZMfH5aN5EyGeR3VEmIUEz8JpRucKFEaKHALR0zHs0VnBMkpI9F6cT5tPsiU7/s400/FLAIR+challenge.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456016564539798914" border="0" /></a><br />So, what to create? I dug thru my very small supply of Flair :o( and decided to go with the Christmas ones I picked up at Hobby Lobby last year....I tried a card, but my MOJO just wasn't feeling it. SO....I retrieved the pile of Christmas card photos we received in 2009 and decided to do a collage of those photos. I kept it super simple and tried something new for me...a double page 8.5 x 11 layout...on white cardstock. LOVE the results!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk_e9uLHctVwNsAHLMgGJIL6D4gy9lI99rqYo9cLBW7sAFes4FD_qdF95UQ2Z7Mc9vmYHwKIaH553Z9KeZ8yFzuZHkTxmhstIoUMlmgjUCH1rOuPz4cx4sl0vzbpu7eQXKq_EgM-eYpofe/s1600/P1110366_edited.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 256px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk_e9uLHctVwNsAHLMgGJIL6D4gy9lI99rqYo9cLBW7sAFes4FD_qdF95UQ2Z7Mc9vmYHwKIaH553Z9KeZ8yFzuZHkTxmhstIoUMlmgjUCH1rOuPz4cx4sl0vzbpu7eQXKq_EgM-eYpofe/s400/P1110366_edited.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456017761578161426" border="0" /></a><br />And a few closeups of my FLAIR...<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU5hSvFfmfkYZBh2Tws7lBfYXra_jOf5d-kBkcq0H91-LpESHVC7Ljhs-dUcA6HckJFjsLHDnHTW5UZHBdaJyz3NqgS6W9LKxriLBPeN_g3wEsQFIu9B62_cI_x7z7bP1M6JSxKsTETJp2/s1600/P1110368_edited.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 389px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU5hSvFfmfkYZBh2Tws7lBfYXra_jOf5d-kBkcq0H91-LpESHVC7Ljhs-dUcA6HckJFjsLHDnHTW5UZHBdaJyz3NqgS6W9LKxriLBPeN_g3wEsQFIu9B62_cI_x7z7bP1M6JSxKsTETJp2/s400/P1110368_edited.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456017765741526322" border="0" /></a><br />This little tree is so cute...<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTXB3zVcpj0KTOWVPkYNMtGN39LGL4EifhnRAXrcEaRuZzkRLVu28Ty9A3qnPsPc0sbspuU4LfwUhyphenhyphenD2gapVNwnqKLUMIY_EuuRfmtzeovhAHDBkQcrY8WfoDCfImUTOKcskbn0q4XemkV/s1600/P1110369_edited.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 254px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTXB3zVcpj0KTOWVPkYNMtGN39LGL4EifhnRAXrcEaRuZzkRLVu28Ty9A3qnPsPc0sbspuU4LfwUhyphenhyphenD2gapVNwnqKLUMIY_EuuRfmtzeovhAHDBkQcrY8WfoDCfImUTOKcskbn0q4XemkV/s400/P1110369_edited.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456018920436822402" border="0" /></a><br />I really LOVE the clean & simple look to this layout...really lets the photos shine!

As I said in an earlier blog post, my family is headed to Hays, KS on Friday to volunteer at the Special Olympics State Basketball Tournament...I think we get to help with the clock & scorekeeping :o)<br /><br /><br />Also want to share a quick link to a friends blog: <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://randisadventures.blogspot.com/">Randi's Adventures in Wonderland</a><br /><br /><br />Randi is a family friend...she is raising money for a mission trip to Africa in July. If you feel moved to donate to her cause, she would be so grateful! Her husband is a pastor for a local church and they have a LARGE family, so she is really counting on the kindness of others to make this mission trip a reality.<br /><br /><br />Well, that's it for today! Have a great weekend! As always, thanks for stopping by & take care!Stacy Milfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16549238656790194768noreply@blogger.com0
