Enjoying...


I read We Were Liars last Saturday. It was amazing and thought-provoking and strange and I loved it. I knew nothing about it when I started, and I think that's the only way someone would enjoy it. My librarian got an Advanced Reader Copy of it and said she needed someone else to read it so she could talk about it. Best book I've read this year. It comes out May 13th. Get it before someone lame spoils the ending for you.

I'm still working on The Here and Now. It's interesting in the fact that it's time travel, but there's still a small element of dystopian (to me, at least) because there's a society that has traveled back together and they have rules to coexist with the time natives. Reserving judgement until I finish.

Project Life 2014, Week 11


Project Life, Vegas edition! Little on journaling...the photos can speak for themselves. My plan this summer is to compile photos from all our Vegas trips in a minibook (which will probably turn out not-so-mini), so this is more of a highlight reel.


I picked up a new brush set on sale last week...I love geotags and it was only 99 cents!


I decided to represent the "bests"of the trip. At first the bottom picture bothered me because the Wynn was reflecting my image...but then I decided it was kind of cool. :o)

Project Life 2014, Week 10


I could have made this a two-pager, but then Vegas would have needed to be three pages. Or I guess I could have put in a February "currently" page, but I wasn't thinking quickly enough for that. As it is my "currently" feature will have to be a bi-monthly occurrence due to the way my pages turned out.

Anyways, this was just a blur of a week. Pretty much every time I take a day off and need to get a bunch of things done in preparation for a substitute/life/whatever, the week flies by and I have no time to do anything. But I wasn't unhappy this time because it was the week before spring break, which is notorious for dragging by super slowly. The big thing on these pages was Galveston for my father-in-law's big birthday bash! Hizzah!


And in context with the other page. I love all of the green!

Project Life 2014, Week 9


I skipped another week...I should have just combined 8 and 9 because not too much happened, but hopefully I go back and finish. Normally I would be sad not to do real Project Life because I liked the coaster from Baker Street, but my friend Ashli pointed out that I could take a picture of it to represent happy hour. So I complied, and the result isn't too shabby!
