week in my life...finally

i finally finished my week in my life album...
a total of 28 pages, 78 photos.
i did not take photos of all the pages only a few and a few close-ups.
i used punched shapes, border punch negatives, staples, stamps, ink, adhesives.
i basically used all hambly transparency overlays, patterned papers & rub-ons.
hambly is one of my favez.
used an american crafts 3-d ring album i bought a long time ago from michael's.
labeled it simply with my white uniball signo pen.
also used american crafts 12x12 photo page protectors and a couple of 8x10 avery page protectors for memorabilia, receipts, & other lil thangz.
also used a 7gysies stamp & sassafras letter stickers (cover page).
kept this pretty simple.

here's my week in my life, january 27 thru february 2...

the cover page...

i guess i should have done some cropping, but too lazy to...

used an avery page protector for memorabilia, receipts, etc....

added journaling & embellishments on patterned papers or overlays...

a simple handwritten label...

this is where it sits now...ready to be shared...

i know that ali edwards has her week in the life coming up.
i may participate depending on what's going on that week.

i've got cleaned ones in the dishwasher that'll be put away by maiya later on today.

other pix of that day...

belated happy 3rd year anniversary photo...

checking out the live lobstaz w/ daddy...

she's always losing a shoe...

a shirley temple for maiya...

waiting for lunch to come on over...

the service was pretty good vs chili's....
one...because the waitress acknowledged we had a baby and was careful...
chili's...they did not....
secondly, the waitress did not place hot food in front of selene...
chili's...they did...
can u say...stupid?

after lunch headed over to the mall...
picked up our pottery and they turned out pretty pretty,
maiya had $20 from nana & ampa, so we headed over forever 21...
she bought a pair of striped shorts that had suspenders attached.
suspenders are her thang nowadayz.
then w/ selene's 20 bucks, we bought her some velcro sneakers.
now those shoes are made for walking.
then my hubby bought me a pair of maui jim's sunglasses as a 3rd yr anniversary gift.
thank you my hubby!
afterwards, walked around the mall and stopped by the vans store.
i suggested that we all buy some vans, of the same type & color...
and then wear at the mall as a family...
and say...hello...we are the vans family.
j/k!
i wouldn't mind getting a pair tho, they look comfy.

we just might have to go back someday and get some...
and rename ourselves as...
"the vans family."
lol.
