happy NYD 2013!!!!

she's feeling a lil bit better today.
starting the new year on a good note so far.
she was smiling and giggled too.
a good sign.

it must have been all the Mac & cheese & pineapple juice she had last Saturday night.
her tummy just couldn't take it because the next morning (12.30.12) about 5:30 she started puking up a storm of all that stuff.
ended up in the ER for 2 1/2 hours.
next day she puked once, had a slight fever.
pretty much slept the whole day.

she is doing really good today.
her old lil self.
running and shouting about all over the place!

now for the remaining of my december 2012 photo-a-day gig:

starting a new photo-a-day for this month

and here it goes....

1.1 today...
starting the year on a real good note...
feeling so much betta
and said "hi" once she woke up...

1.2 something new...
got this with my target gc...
a new bin for her books...

1.3 heart....
one of these moments...
when she finally falls asleep for the night...

1.4 the view from here...
at my 3.56 mile run for that day...
was tiring but sweet.
i wanted to go for 4 but man i just ran out of energy.
must drink more water throughout the day.

and 1.5 movement...
this girlie can run...
run like the wind stella!
run stella run!

on a scrapping note...
i have been on a roll since school vacay has been on...
i started doing the rest of the scrap layouts for our wedding album.
my goal is to finish is by the end of this year.
i'll be sharing the 2 i did the past couple of days soon.

also i have totally been contemplating becky higgin's project life challenge.
however, i know that i won't be able to start from a january 1 perspective of this year.
so i'm thinking of doing last year.
i just can't afford to do prints on a daily basis.
i only order prints when i can or when there is a major deal going on.
gotta gather all my souvenirs, receipts, memorabilia i've collected.
i have an album, actually 2 which don't match.
but that's ok.
for scrap supplies i'm gonna use old scrapbook kits.
gotta use them somehow, right?
i have been so inspired by ali edwards.
i went thru all her posts concerning project life2012 and now i'm onto 2011.
i love that woman.
her approach is so simple but so cool chic!
love her!
so grateful for peepz like her.
let's see how it goes for me.

i love photobooth pix.
had to do 1 of the girlz especially  before maiya leaves for WA this saturday.
everytime we do 1 i have to make sure my 2 girls get a copy and of course i get one too.
then i do my traditional scrapping of it with a title "love ##.##.###" with the date it was taken.
i haven't done a page for one in so long.
this one is definitely down as one of my favez.

aaaaahhhhh....

as i type this we are baking chocolate almond cookies.
the girls and the hubz are playing one their tablets or phone.
my 21 month old is creating chaos with all the tupperware.
before that we played a couple of games including words for friends.
