Project Life 2012: April part 2

As always, linking up to The Mom Creative's weekly PL link party . If you're visiting my blog from there - thanks, it's lovely to see you; and if you haven't been there yet, do take the opportunity to hop on over.

This week's page is all about the second week of Miss C's spring break. Even though the sun didn't shine, we decided to get out and about anyway!

First up, here's the overview of the page. The Love from the Bottom of your Heart and The Greatest Day cards are from a freebie printables set from Miss Tina - so cute!A bit of a yellow-orange theme going on here...

So when it's rainy, and you're tired of being indoors, what better place for some mother-daughter bonding than the shopping mall? Chloe and I took a trip to one of the local malls on the bus, and I captured a couple of pics in her favourite shop, and used a CZ photo template to also add in the journaling. I also saved the bus tickets and some tags from the clothes we bought.


I got a lovely surprise this week when a postcard arrived in the mail from Chloe's school. I just knew this was going in my PL album! I yellow blocked out our address (for Internet security purposes, ha) and added a pic of the front of the card. I am so proud of my daughter because she works so hard at school. I quickly wrote my thoughts on getting the postcard on that Miss Tina printable card.



Lastly, having invested in new swim caps during that trip to the mall, we decided to venture out to one of the leisure pools closeby. There is no photography allowed in the pool, so I added in a photo of our new swim caps, a reduced size version of the pool flyer with a yellow journal block on top and the entry tickets. We were in there for hours, so it was great value. It'll be interesting to look back and see how much the entry fee increases in future years!


A short but sweet week! Have a good week ahead!

    Great page Jules. Your shopping trip looked like a lot of fun.

    Your page has a great contemporary feel to it. I think the clothing labels idea is a good one.

    Congrats to Chloe on the great report.

      Thanks, Sharon. We did have a great shopping trip - now that she's older, I can look back on trips with shop-hating toddler Chloe with laughter!

      Thanks, Melissa. It was inspired by Chloe's new yellow top, which made me feel so happy and bright. I know - aren't the Miss Tina downloads awesome?!

      Thanks, April! Have to say I'm making the most of all the time with Chloe - quite sure the day will come very soon when hanging out with Mum won't be so welcome! Thanks for stopping by (and I LOVED your page this week)!

      Thanks, Dawn! I know, I am very proud of Chloe, and such a cool thing for the school to have sent a congrats postcard! Do you think the teacher is maybe a Project Lifer?! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

    ♥ your pages and how you included receipts of what things cost.
    That will be fun to look back at in years to come. :)

      Thanks, Lisa! I can imagine us looking back at the album when Chloe is older and being shocked at the price of things today! Have a great week.
