It has been years..... but I am going to try it again

So much of our lives have changed since I posted here last.  There have been graduations marriages and a grandchild born and that has encouraged me to try again with a photo a day to capture the moments in our lives. I am starting her with January 1 2019.... celebrating Christmas the grand baby and his great grandma enjoying cheesecake in a box. 

Next we have a relaxing bubble bath to end a busy day. 

At this moment.....

Listening .....

Amanda wash the dishes.

Wearing.....

Still my work clothes, and slippers.

Eating......

ooey gooey too sweet chocolate dessert I made. 

Wanting.....

to take a hot shower and go to bed. 

Needing.....

to do more laundry.

Thinking.....

what to do this weekend.

This is where I am at .....

at this moment.

My mom was doing some deep cleaning

yesterday.

She brought over a few of my things. 

They became my photo for the day.

My Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls.

January 10

 

Then today......

was taken by Kimmy.

A photo of me. 

January 11

Manic Monday

Yep. 

That was today.

Girls went back to school.

Had to teach some classes today.

Do not know what happened to the rest of the day.

Do you ever have days like that?

Weekend was great.

Still adjusting to working a real schedule.

I have been consistent(my OLW 2012).

In making my girls do their chores.

In getting the house in order.

In my Capture my 365.

In my scrapping. 

Finished another layout.

Have my whole first week of CM365 done.

Printed.

Journaled.

In the album.

Here is the last few days.

Took the weekend off from the computer.

January 9

I need to learn to slow down.

When I am taking my pictures. 

I know the girls do not always want to have a photo taken.

So I try to hurry.

But I am getting blurry images. 

I need to slow down. 

They will enjoy the extra second some day.

Day 5.......

Tired.

 Kids need to go back to school.

SOON!

Week almost over. 

Picture for today.

Hubby paying Bejeweled. 

His favorite thing to do,

on a quiet evening at home.

No scrapping for me tonight.

Laundry won out. 

January 5

In my blog surfing today.

Found the perfect quote.

Posted By Katrina Kennedy

Over at Capture your 365.

I even put it on a sticky note on my computer. 

 

 

“In the ordinary moments of our lives is really where we can find the most joy.” Brene Brown

 

Happy Hump Day...

Woke to an icy day. 

20 degrees. 

In Florida.

My little piggys have been chillly all day.

The day came and almost went and I still did not have a picture for today.

Nothing was inspiring me. 

I took a long hot bath.

I walked out to find one daughter making homemade chocolate kisses.

The other all wrapped up in a blanket with hot coccoa.

Watching her favorite movie/musical.

Mama Mia!----

Inspiration and opportunity was all around.

I took 42 pictures.

Thats what we photogs do.

Right????

I decided on one that may not show exactly what was happening.

But her personality is shining. 

January 4

How are you doing on your 365?

Have you started? 

Are you behind? 

Do you already feel overwhelmed?

Relax. 

Breathe.

And take a photo. 

You can start anytime you want.

Every photo captures a moment....

A moment that only happens once.

A photo does not have to be perfect,

to be wonderful.

My photo for today is far from even good.

But to me it is...fabulous.

It captures a moment in her life. 

A little bit of who she is.

It shows our real life.

This is why I am doing Capture my 365/Project Life.

Happy 1st Tuesday of 2012!!!!

So far it has been a great year.

Boss took us out to lunch today.

Girls spent the day  with their grandparents.

BLT's for dinner..atleast for me.

Every else ate out.

Switched at Birth tonight.

Working on a layout with this sketch.

From Studio Calico.

Managed to make it another day with my Capture 365.

Took this one early this morning.

Kimmy looking around the shower curtain to say goodbye to me.

Guess I really need to clean their shower.

Happy Monday!

First day back to work.

It was a good day. 

It was a short day because it is still a holiday. 

Kids are still home from school.

Weather is turning colder.

No more shorts for the rest of this week.

Dinner .....from Taste of Home. Bacon Cheddar Chicken

My 2nd picture of the day...taken.

Kimmy quietly working on a drawing.

A hot air balloon for my grandpa.

Possibility it will accompany his birthday gift.

January 2

Layouts are coming.

Promise. 

Did some re-arranging tonight.

All the kids are home now...so off to chill and watch a movie.

Happy New Year!

It has been a nice calm day.

Went grocery shopping.

Made a nice pot of beef stew. 

Scrapped 2 pages. 

Yes!

I scrapped.

For the first time in months.

Was going to upload.

Then realized I have a new printer and computer.

I have not uploaded the programs I need yet. 

Maybe after work tomorrow.

I did take my 1st picture of the year. 

The first for my capture my 365.

I wanted a family photo.

But family would not cooperate.

I did manage a photo of Amanda.

A normal teen. In her favorite place. 

On the computer.

With her headphones on.

Listening to music.

Maybe another day I will get the family shot. 

Just Maybe!

But in the meantime. 

Here is my day 1.

It may not be the way I wanted it to be. 

But atleast I started. 

And I have to remember each shot will not be perfect. 

The process will not be perfect. 

But, I will still continue. 

I have to learn that everything does not have to be perfect. 

January 1

12 in 12

I like to have resolutions for the new year, but I do not like calling them resolutions.

I prefer to not really call them anything.  

This year I am referring to them as my 12 in12.

1. Cook at least one new recipe each month.

2.Scrapbook at least one page per week. 

3. Complete my capture my life 365 plus one..

4. Finish 8 more classes towards my degree.

5.See the sunrise on the coast and the sunset on the other coast all in one day.

( I live in Florida so this is achievable)

6.Get and keep my house visitor ready.

7. Go camping.

8.Have dessert at Bern's Steakhouse.( Cherries Jubilee or Bananas Foster)

9. Go to a fair/carnival and ride the Ferris Wheel.

10.Spend quality time with my girls.

11. Have a savings account, with money in it.

12. Go to New Orleans. The place where I was born.

These are in particular order.

None is more important than the next. 

They are just my 12 in 12. 

Wish me luck on my journey to complete them, or on my attempt to be consistent in my journey to complete them.

Color me Crazy......

     yep.

red. 

pink.

I must be crazy.

My husband is not going to be happy.

The girls have both wanted some color in their hair.

For some reason I agreed. 

It is not permanent right?

This is what little girls are made of......

These are going to be fun to scrap.

I am thinking a grungy kinda page. 

What else did I do today?

Clean. 

Laundry.

Play on the computer.

Made dinner. 

A new recipe.

From Pinterest.

Crispy Cheddar Chicken.

See you tomorrow.

I need sleep.
