project life: week nine

Here we go with week nine... pretty much an ordinary week except that we were given a vintage typewriter! When you think you don't have too much going on and you worry that you'll never have enough pictures to complete a layout, remember there are always every day moments just waiting to be documented - lunch, nephews, a breakfast out at chick fil a, a turtle encountered on a walk, a room in your house. Just look around and I'm sure you'll find plenty of worthy subjects. This is what I love most about Project Life, documenting the every day.

I included an instagram pic of the typewriter and just above it a note that Mason typed for me. He was having fun typing random words so I handed him a plain journaling card and told him to type whatever he wanted on it. I love the little note he typed to me!


I thought it would be a good idea to include a picture of each room in our house throughout the year. This time it was my kitchen.


I love using the number stickers for bullet points when I don't have a lot of journaling. I documented leap day with some gummy bears in the shape of the number 29.

    I always love looking at your Project Life pages! It's so fun! I think it's so neat you guys got a vintage typewriter. I remember my parents having a typewriter when I was a kid and how much I loved using it. It would be fun to use one now I think.

    Also, I love your kitchen! It's so bright (I want a white kitchen) and I love the red chairs!!

    I love your pages! Your layout is so clean and simple, yet still has personal, creative touches. Beautiful! I also love that "Here is the Story" card where you added the number stickers.

    I remember my dad writing his master's thesis on a typewriter. I would have never made it through college if I had to use a type writer. So it's really amusing (not in a bad way, it a good way) that people use them in their scrapbook.

    You make this seem so easy! I'm sure I would stare at the pocket pages and wonder what to put in them lol.

    I love have you make the everyday so interesting.

    Your son's note is so sweet.

    Love your pages, Deb!! You always have really great creative ideas while still keeping it simple. I love it! Loved how you included a little something from one of your sons this week, that is so special. Also like your idea of including one room in your house throughout the year. Beautiful kitchen by the way, love the bar chairs!!
