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...

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.
