Project Life Tuesday ~ Week 18

I came up with what I think is a pretty clever idea.  At work, I was opening the mail and I noticed the inside of one of the envelopes had a really cool pattern on it.  So, I brought it home instead of throwing it away like I usually do.  I opened the envelope all the way up and just traced a grid journaling card on it and cut it out.

The next day I looked inside of each envelope I opened, and found some AWESOME patterns that I brought home and cutout to use for my 3x4 Project Life cards.  I am excited to use the 2 patriotic ones during the week of the 4th of July.  The best part of all…they were FREE!  Can’t beat that!

Here’s Week 18:

Monday ~ Autumn learned about a budget when I took her to Toys R Us to use a birthday gift certificate and a coupon.  She did a great job.

Tuesday ~ It was Autumn’s ballet “recital” tonight.  She did such a great job and I’m so thankful that Papa & Mimi came to support her, too.

Wednesday ~ We went to a golf range for a combined Laurels/Priest activity tonight.  It was really fancy and swanky, and the weather was perfect.

Thursday ~ Mom made a super nice meal of grilled pork chops and grilled veggies.  We all ate dinner, and then Autumn said she was still hungry and wanted a PB&J sandwich.  We all ended up having one even though we had just had dinner.  We decided that the PB&J’s were dessert.

Friday ~ Our neighbor’s sprinklers were on when we got home, so Autumn & I ran through them and then left our wet footprints on the sidewalk.  It was so fun and spontaneous and we were laughing like crazy.

Saturday ~ I accidentally broke off part of Nick’s car’s passenger side mirror when I was backing it out of the garage for him.  Autumn & I had breakfast at Sonic while we waited for our car to get an oil change and state inspection.  Then we vacuumed out the car and got the car washed.  Mom & I went shopping and then we all went swimming for the first time this season.  I mowed the lawn as a small token of my appreciation for all that Mom & Dad do for us.  It was a busy Saturday!

Sunday ~ I told Autumn what letters to write and she wrote this card to send to Rufio for Mother’s Day.

To make Autumn’s trip to Toys R Us on Monday stand out, I cut out this little graphic that was on top of the receipt and slipped it in the journaling pocket.

I had some left over journaling cards from the original Project Life kit, and decided to use them for an adorable card to attach to some homemade fudge for a Mother’s Day gift.  LOVE IT that I’m able to find more and more practical and simple uses for Project Life.
