Merry Christmas Everyone

Do you feel like this past year has just flown by?
 Do you remember how long it took as a child the days between Thanksgiving and Christmas?
I feel like I am so behind, lots of plans and piles with all my projects!
I will say that I am better organized in years past - I take a picture almost daily on instagram, add some notes and the date,  printing most of them , ( nope not in my album yet), but project life has made me rethink my spending and organization, and what I really use and need.

 I am in the process of starting a new group on facebook to share our 2014 project life , I think it is important to take pictures of the just plain days in our life, we are so busy , we are the Mom's who chase our kids around as they grow up.
Look back in your photo's,  Where are you? Behind the camera? What will they remember about us?
So Yes I went to see Santa yesterday , something I have done for several years alone, the poor guy thought I was crazy and then I told him about my project life!
Come join us https://www.facebook.com/groups/bamaprojectlife2014/
 I'll be posting more in a few days  and no you don't have to be from Alabama to join us! This is just a group of us that will be sharing ideas, projects, and encouraging each other to get busy!

Merry Christmas,
Kathy

My September  24th

A shack with a view...

Home again.... for a few days anyway .... we worked so hard .... but did not get done before time to leave..

      The shack will always be a shack not home..... great for a vacation...but I am NOT sure I can live there ...yet...ever?

 Now the view is the same BEAUTIFUL.. Peaceful  and cool....  It rained almost everyday (much needed)

We went back to doctors this week for a one year Kidney Cancer follow-up - so far ok, it is just all the other issues with back at this point that have changed the way we once lived....

I spent 10 days with my parents , my dad had Lung cancer surgery he did wonderful... talk about a trooper! He is doing great (no more oxgen at this point! He was out walking around the building.before I left..
So all things considering... Life is good!.
Started going through my scrap stuff time to let go ... I have not used tons of it... starting a project life album with my summer photos , maybe it will inspire me.

Thanks for stopping by,

So lonely? Some things need a second look

I have been sorting through some items today,
 How do you decide how long to keep things you made?
 Sentimental over rules usually at my house,
So I am going to share a few of my older projects - maybe I can inspire you to dig out some stuff you bought years ago to use again....
 so many supplies, so little time.....

 This hung over my Mother in laws space....

                                                         My Bind it all SO lonely...
