Military life

Good morning, today I am sharing a project life layout over at eclectic Paperie.  Sometimes keeping it simple in my world is just what the doctor ordered.  With my husband spending 21 years in the USMC, we are pretty obsessed with anything remotely connected to the military.  Whether it be nerf guns, army men, history or books about war, you can be assured that the boys in my family are interested.  This layout depicts how my breakfast table could look like on any given day.  I just created this layout but the pictures are from 2011.  Keep in mind, that I could duplicate this exact same layout with the exact same pictures with a kid that is just a tad older now!  



I really enjoyed taking a larger photo and chopping it up to fill 4 of the pockets for project life.  This army man photo works perfectly because you don't have to worry about cutting a persons face down the center.  


I had a few extra pieces from the Fancy Pants ephemera pack that coordinated with my photos.  I added them to various pockets.  A few drops of Dylusions green ink and machine stitching and my layout was done.



Thank you for taking a look at my project and hope to see you all again really soon.

Knee replacement

Knee replacement has been kicking my butt.  I didn't think I would be down this hard.  I am recovering, recovering really well, but it is worse than I imagined.  I thought I would be bored and reading, scrapbooking, organizing my photos on my computer, catching up on movies.....
None of that has happened.  I can not make it through a movie and my eyes cross when trying to read.  Might I mention I am on really good drugs?   I am weight baring and getting around but not enough to twist and turn (not to dance) but to scrapbook.  I am starting to feel the itch so I am thinking that it may not be long.  Wish me luck and thanks for checking in.  Tomorrow will be 2 weeks and on day 5 I thought I was dying!!  Thank God for all my nurses who have taken time out of their busy schedules to watch me nap:o)
