Project Life: Week 19

Well, after a very long hiatus, I am finally back to Project Life. It is about time! I think the last week that I posted photos was week 12! Geesh!

And after last week's post, I think I jinxed myself because I only took 3 photos last week. But I am not going to beat myself up because I count it as a victory that I took some at all!

So, without further delay...last week!

Sunday, May 8

Sunday was, of course, Mother's Day. I sure do love my Mom. Haley and I got her two more charms to add to her charm bracelet. We each choose a charm every holiday, birthday, etc., that represents us in some way and give them to Mom. Her bracelet is starting to get full. This Mother's Day, we gave her the two on the far left. The camera is from me and the lipstick is from Haley. I made the gift box last year. I thought it turned out pretty cute. The other side is decorated too. Mom saved it and I re-used it this year! 

Monday, May 9

Oh my word! One word...heavenly! You guys have to try this sorbet! This blood orange sorbet by Talenti is so good! They make gelato too but I haven't tried it. I love, love, love sorbet in the summer. It is such a treat! This stuff is so addictive! Run to the store and get some!! And after Mom got this for me at the store, I saw where Paula Deen had it in her monthly magazine. ;)

And I also have been doing some "summer reading"! ha! I have enjoyed my May magazines! 

 Tuesday, May 10

So, I picked up the 3rd season of the The Real Housewives of NYC the week before and I spent the early part of the week having myself a little Housewives marathon. Geesh, those ladies are seriously crazy! I think this shows proves that apparently money makes you rude, obnoxious and seriously deluded about the world. Just saying! All that said, I love this show and I am so addicted!

I know. This was a pitiful excuse for Project Life. Can't wait to see your weeks!

Happy Tuesday.

I am linking up at Jessica's blog today for Project Life Tuesday.

Project Life

Well, isn't the normal Project Life Tuesday. But I am pleased to finally be participating again! Yay for that!

Since I getting so sick, the camera has been tucked away and I rarely felt motivated to get it out. But there were a few instances that I wanted to capture.

I don't know any of the dates of these photos but here are a few highlights from the last month.

And before we continue, I edited my photos but the edited versions won't load. They only upload into blogger as the original versions. II have been having lots of trouble with that lately and I am not sure where the problems is. Anyway...moving on.

Little Holly. She is my sweet baby. I love her to pieces! And I think she loves me too. For the last month, she hasn't done anything but lay my stomach and sleep with me. She is so sweet. And the sweetest thing is that she know when I am upset and crying. She always gets so antsy a crawls up on my shoulders and tries to lick my face. (Which she knows she isn't supposed to do.) It just melts my heart.

I am not really sure whose bed this is exactly? Mine or Hers? The jury is still out!

I think this was one Sunday. Every came down and we all laid in the bed. All of us were tired and about to go to bed. So no one was really up for some head shots...

I know! This is sooo attractive!

One Tuesday my friend Gillian sent me a belated birthday gift. It was a lovely  gift box for a company called The Popcorn Factory. It was a cute little box with different flavored popcorn, chocolates and candies. I would eat any of it for several days because it was too cute to open up!
And the same day, my Mom stopped by Target for me and picked up Country Strong. It was a good day! :)

The view out of my bedroom has been gorgeous (when I don't leave the shade drawn)!

And I have basically been eating bowls and bowls of strawberries everyday! They have been so good. And every once in awhile, I will spice them up with a couple of brownies. :)

Happy Tuesday!

Project Life: Week 12

I have decided to change my Project Life days up a bit. I will still be linking up at Jessica's blog on Tuesdays but I am going to post my photos on Saturdays.

Just in case you were wondering! 

Basically my photos from this week are all about my awesome new camera and the build up to my birthday party that was early today!  All in all, in was a good great week.

Monday, March 21

The day before my birthday, I had two packages arrive from my best friend Kim and my friend Kathryn. As much as I wanted to open them immediately, I saved them to open on Tuesday, my actual birthday.

Tuesday, March 22

Happy Birthday to Me! :) I was 28 on Tuesday but I think I will just pretend that I am only 22. ha! I don't feel 28 at all. But ya know, that is another story!
Mom took me to get a pedicure and my toes thank me! My friend Kim gave me a really pretty comb for my hair and I was happy  that I got to wear that on Tuesday.

Wednesday, March 23

Playing with my new camera again today. These are my gifts from Kim and Kathryn. Isn't the hair comb so pretty? I just love it! And Kathryn sent me a really pretty pocket mirror for my purse. Both gifts were very sweet and such a nice surprise. Thank you ladies!

Thursday, March 24
Y'all, I love this camera! I have been having such a good time playing around with it. I loved how this photo turned out! I have always wanted to know how to take a photo where the foreground is a little blurry and the focus is on the object in background.  (Did that make sense?) Anyway, I thought this turned out so pretty and I was really pleased with myself. And kudos to Mom for planting such pretty irises.

Friday, March 25

Well, my home is buzzing with business. Everyone is rushing around getting ready for my party. I have been banished to downstairs until Saturday. Hmm...I wonder what they are doing up there?! I am very excited about my birthday party. It is nothing big-just me, parents, my sister Haley, her boyfriend Mike and my aunt Ginger. 

I am preparing for the big day too. I am resting up and getting lots of fluids today!

Saturday, March 26
Whew! I can honestly say that I am pooped and don't think that I will be crawling out from the under the blankets for days! But that is okay because I had an amazing day!! My family went above and beyond to throw me the perfect party! I can't wait to share it with you all on Monday (hopefully!) Here is a little sneak.

I feel so loved y'all! That is such a wonderful feeling. My family is such a blessing.
Have a great upcoming week!

Project Life: Week 11

Hello Everyone! Another week has passed and I still cannot believe how fast time goes.
Thanks for stopping by!

Sunday, March 13

We went out to dinner for my Dad's birthday. (Yes, it was a late celebration!) I forgot to take my camera, so I grabbed it when I got home and tried to take our photo. We gave up after about 10 tries. We could never fit us all in. We laughed a lot though! 

Monday, March 14

I realize that I am nearly 30 but I still get excited when an American Girl catalog comes in the mail. My sister has Samantha's collection and I have Molly's. Molly was the first purchase that I ever saved my money for and bought myself.  I was 9 and I was so proud! I chose Molly because she wore round glasses and so did I when I was a child. If I had to choose one now though, I think I would chose Kit. I think she is so cute!

Tuesday, March 15

On most Tuesdays, Haley does her laundry and while she is downstairs, we usually visit with one another. I always look forward to our Tuesdays together.

Haley loves good pens and I was showing her my new sharpie pens. She wanted to write with and came to the conclusion that "it looks like a pen but write likes a marker". And I just love her so much that I gave it to her. I know. I am such a good big sister. :)

Wednesday, March 16

One of my favorite movies is a Hallmark Channel movie with Keri Russel and Skeet Ulrich. It is called,  The Magic of Ordinary Days. It is such a sweet movie. I didn't know it for a long time but it is based on a book of the same title. I recently bought both the movie and book on Amazon and I am thoroughly enjoying them both! 

I highly recommend them!

Thursday, March 17

I had a wonderful, wonderful time with my friend Becca!! We ate dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. We both got the same thing to eat; the Renee's special and dessert of course. :)

Friday, March 18
 I was out of the house two days in row!!! I was so excited! I haven't been out of the house two days in a row since before Thanksgiving! It was a real treat. Among other places, we stopped by Edgars and I bought my favorite cookies, Meltaways. They are so good.

Saturday, March 19
One of the places that we went on Friday was the camera shop. I bought myself a birthday present! A new camera!! I was so nervous taking it out of the package. Hopefully, this photo will be the last one with my old camera. Yay!

Happy Spring everyone!

Project Life: Week 10

This week's Project Life is a little sparse. I was feeling a little poorly after my block on Tuesday and then to top things off I fainted in public (again!) on Thursday. It was a rough week and there were not to many things that I felt like documenting but here are a few highlights.

Sunday, March 6

I made my happy birthday banner last year before my birthday party at home. I love it so much that I wanted to see it all month long. So, Mom strung it up for me. It was a few days late getting up but better late than never!

Monday, March 7

I had a little late night snack. I think Fresca is the perfect popcorn drink! I watched The Real Housewives of Miami. I just love the Real Housewives; It is my guilty pleasure for sure. All those women are crazy! My favorites are NY and Washington, D.C.

Friday, March 11

Paging Nurse Haley! She started my IV for me again this week. I was feeling pretty lousy so she started me some fluids on Friday. And she started the IV in a more difficult spot this time and she did a GREAT job! I am telling y'all, she is the best sister! 

I know! Sparse right? But at least I got a few. This week's post is so puny, I don't think I am going to link up at Jessica's blog today but be sure and stop by and check out the other bloggers' Project Life Tuesday!

Sunday, February 27

How cute is this? I love my sweet Holly. My uncle had his overalls on because he was on his way to work. He stuck Holly in his front pocket. It was seriously cute. Holly wasn't too happy with the arrangement but I got a good photo out of it, so it is okay if she was momentarily uncomfortable.

Monday, February 28

This is paper weight that I got a weeks ago at TJ Maxx. I love that store!

Tuesday, March 1

My sister's boyfriend, Mike shares a birthday with my dad (the 3rd). He secretly likes the movie, Waitress. I wanted to fix his present up all cute so, I made a little pie gift tag. I was kind of pleased. It felt so nice to make something! I haven't worked on any crafts of any kind in so very long. My insomnia was fruitful that night! ha!

Wednesday, March 2

Okay, this is probably the most boring photo ever but hopefully my commentary will boost its rating! I wrap these "brix" in a pillow case and use them when I am having a migraine.

1. Every time I get one out of the freezer I always sing the words to She's a Brick House by The Commodores.
2. I usually get two at a time-one for each eye- and when they clang together, they really sound like a brick!
3. I have thought that if someone ever broke into the house while I had a migraine, they would have no idea what kind of weapon was waiting for them in that pillow case on my head! Seriously, folks. I think those things could be dangerous! ha! (I also think I may watch to many prison documentaries on the Discovery Channel to know that such an item in a pillowcase could be used as a weapon.)


Thursday, March 3

A sweet sleep puppy. Does this photo really need any explanation? I think not!

Friday, March 4

We celebrated Mike's birthday. He was very sweet about his gift. And he didn't really get that his gift tag was a pie and it went along with his movie but that is okay; he is a guy after all. I don't think they notice such things.

Have a great Tuesday!

Project Life: Week 8

Well, another week has come and gone and now it is March! My goodness! Spring is right around the corner! I am so excited!

Sunday, February 20

I don't know if it was because I watched an episode of Cupcake Challenge on the Food Network or what but I was having a serious cupcake craving Sunday! I told Mom that all I could think of was a yellow cupcake and chocolate icing and she made me some! They were yummy. 

My family likes to exaggerate their enthusiasm when posing for my many photos. They look at one another when I whip out the camera and make this face, like, "Oh, here we go again!" And then their silly photos get put online...serves them right! ha!

Monday, February 21

 It is so pretty here. It has been getting in the 70's and there is now a dusting of pollen on everything! Holly loves the pretty weather.

Tuesday, February 22

I love fun mail days! My Spring Loft catalog came and a book that I ordered from Amazon and forgot about, so that was a nice surprise. My netflix movies and my birthday coupon from Anthropologie arrived too. Yes, it was a good day. :)

Wednesday, February 23

I keep my daily medicine in this bag and it had gotten so messy! I couldn't find anything. This bag is perfect for organizing medicine. And I happy to report that nearly a week later, it still looks this neat. 

Thursday, February 24

This maybe my favorite photo in a very, very long time. This is the dearest soul in the world. Meet Mr. Turner; he is just such a precious person.

Mom was his secretary from about 1995-2002. We have stayed in touch over the years. He brings me books because he knows how much I love to read and he has even chided me for wasting a perfectly good football ticket on a not-so-nice boy.

And he always says, Now Heather, how are you?

I try to be polite and just tell him that I am fine and then he says,

Okay, let's get all that out of the way. Now tell me how you are really doing.

He is just so special.

My week is a little short of photos again but I am pleased with the ones that I did take. I think this was my favorite week so far.

Have a great day!
