wintery, announcements, giveaway and coupon code, it is snowing up Project Life around here.

I have so much to share and so little time some days. I am inspired, creative, crafty and ambitious in the wee hours of night, after the little ones finally fall into a blissful dreamland after three "I'm thirsty"s and four "I have to pee."s and I do not remember how many "Mommy"s....  I breathe and turn on something I am not sure I should be watching on tv and create. Sometimes I write school lessons, sometimes I pull out a favorite photo and create an artful page which I want to show anyone who will humor me, but mostly these last few weeks I pull out our life. Carefully chosen pictures of our everyday and begin documenting. Little things that make up big things. Numbers, pictures, words, a calculation of a beautiful life. and one I am so thankful for.

This life brings me blessing after blessing, true and undeserving. One more blessing I am sharing today is this one which has been something more than I could have even hoped for! I have been asked to stay on the design team (with some AMAZINGLY talented gals) as the Project Life Designer for Pretty Little Studio. I will not lie, this has been one step towards what my heart's greatest desire is right now. To find balance in my life, and still design. God is always so good to me to gift me even the smallest of my dreams.







I hope Melissa knows she will have to drag me off this team kicking and screaming. It seems she is quite stuck with me. and honestly, I adore her, but it is her products that I stand behind, too.  They are beautiful crafted and the quality is outstanding! I have yet to try something she has made and not be inspired! So, now if you are ready I am going to share my Weeks 5 and 6 of Project Life with you for 2013, but make sure you scroll down to the end of the post, too, to see some information on the giveaway and some yummy coupons!

Week Five

This week was originally just a different, but I decided to pull out the Groundhog Day crafts and books we made and put them into a little envelope, so then it freed up a spot for some ice fishing photos and notes, some of which is hidden and some of which is waiting for a 4x6 protector. Here is the whole spread:

You may notice that I used the Studio Calico February Project Life monthly kit as a base for my pages. I find that the Pretty Little Studio papers and embellishments add perfectly to the design and style of these kits and since I layers and embellish much it would be near impossible for me to feel complete with those Studio Calico kits alone, without adding beautiful bits of somethings. I also want to offer a special gift to one of my blog followers.... this set of 8 cards from the sold out January and February Studio Calico Project Life kits and these pretty little vintage snowman tags and 4- 4" large vintage snowman cutouts.  Just leave a comment on this post for your chance to win them!
