A couple of scrapbook pages - Baba's Baby, Playing with the new shutter release at LL Bean

While we were at LL Bean after Christmas I found an app called BubbleFrame where you can put pictures in "bubbles" on a scrapbook page.  I had fun playing with it.

One night when Paul was sitting in his chair with Miriam, he took a series of "selfies" of him and Miriam.

While we were in Maine we bought a shutter release for my iPhone.  I have a little tripod and we set it up on the next table at LL Bean and tried out the shutter release.  I worked really well!

Miriam in the hospital

What a nerve-wracking day Sunday was!  I think we all underestimate colds, I know I do - until I get one!  But when a baby gets a cold, it's scary.

Thank God she's home now.  Whatever kind of cold virus this is, it has gone through the whole family.  Kristen is still getting over it, and now Janelle, Paul and I have it.  The only one who has escaped so far is Mark.  He's next.

A scrapbook page from 2012 - Build A Bear for Marley's and Mason's birthdays

These two pages are basically the same, except for the journaling on the second page.  These are to go into Marley's and Mason's scrapbooks.

This is Marley's -

Dot's Restaurant in Wilmington, VT

On the day after Thanksgiving Paul and I took a ride to Wilmington, Vermont and went to Dot's Restaurant.

Dot's was destroyed in Hurricane Irene in August 2011.  They had to totally rebuild and finally opened again in December 2013.

This was the  first time that we had been there since their re-opening.  The food was as good as we remembered!

Throwback Thursday - Thanksgiving in the '50's

Oh my, how times have changed.

How many men eat Thanksgiving dinner in a dress shirt and tie anymore, especially in their own house?

My grandfather is on the far right.  I remember him as a t-shirt and flannel shirt kind of guy.  Not on Thanksgiving, I guess. The guy next to my grandfather is my Uncle Bob, and then my aunt Ettie.  The couple next to them were friends of my aunt and uncle.  I can't remember their names.

I'm so thankful to have these old pictures; slides that my aunt Dot took.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

The little crib

This is the sign Paul put on it.

This little crib has seen a lot of use.  Paul's grandfather, his mother, Paul, Kristen, Mark, Mason and most recently Miriam have all slept in this crib.  Marley didn't because she was born in Ohio and it wasn't practical to get the crib out there.

So, for now, it will be packed away in Mark's attic for the next generation.

Goodbye for now little crib.

Digital Project Life 2014, Week 41, and Project Life App Scrapbook pages, Mason's first time at the library, Mason playing baseball, Mason playing tennis, Mason beginning kindergarten, Gordon College Columbus day with Marley, You & Me (Mason and Miriam)

So.... I got behind on my Project Life in September, and then we went on vacation for two weeks - the last week of September and first week in October.

I'm trying to catch up, starting with the week we got back from vacation.  I'll have to work on back pages when I can.  Scrapbooking is never really up to date anyway, and that's okay.

This is week 41.

On September 17th, a few days before we left on vacation, the Project Life App was launched.

I started doing Becky Higgins' Project Life system of scrapbooking in 2012.  At that time I did it manually, with physical product.  In March of 2013 I switched to digital and LOVED it!  They are the pages that I post here on this blog.

The Project Life App gives you the ability to do these pages on your iPhone and/or iPad.

I had so much fun with this on vacation.  Every day I made one page for that day.  When I eventually get all my vacation pictures organized I will post those vacation Project Life pages.

For now, here are the pages that I have done with this App.  I love doing this!

That's it for now.

Vacation, 5th Blue Ridge Parkway Trip down South 2014

I finally finished organizing and editing my vacation pictures, and doing the journaling on the Project Life app scrapbook pages for every day of our vacation.  16 days.

Actually, the easiest part of all this was doing a daily page.  The Project Life app came out a few days before we went on vacation.  I thought it would be easy and fun to do for each day, and it really was. The only thing I did when I got home was the journaling for each day, but honestly, next time I will do that at the same time that I make the page.

So.....these are my Project Life app scrapbook pages for Vacation 2014.

And that's all she wrote!
