Working on my June Project Life kit... I'm thinking that the color scheme will be green, blue, and navy.
Sunday Haul #18
A small craft supply purchasing week, but I did pick up a few items. The other day, Arthur and I were early leaving the South Bay area so we popped over to Michael's. I picked up some snail (always need snail), but of course I got some other things. I grabbed another pack of white paper, some enamel dots, a photo pictures paper pack, Heidi Swapp planner stamps, and a fall-themed word stamp. The fall-themed word stamp was a complete impulse buy but it was on clearance plus an extra 50% off. Had to grab it!
I also picked up my May stamp club order from Pam. I ordered the chalkboard paper, yellow citrus chalk ink, rose coral chalk ink, and chalk lines stamp set. I had a specific card in mind for these items.
Sunday Haul #17
A few goodies showed up at my door this week... I got my latest Messy Box on Wednesday. Haven't really had a chance to play with any of them so far, but I have plans to use the supplies for some greeting cards soon.
I also took advantage of the retiring sale at Becky Higgins' shop. I snapped up Azure for $12.99! I plan on using the core kit along with Slate as the basis for the twins PL albums. I need to catch up their scrapbooks this summer. Once the current album is filled, I'm switching them over to PL style. I also grabbed the recipe theme pack.

Working on Project Life pages for Arthur's album. I was about three months behind, but caught up quickly. I basically copy the family album pages minus photos and stories specific to me. The page on the left was my last page for April. The stack of photos are the May photos I just printed. Those I will be working on on Sunday during my open house / crop day. Yeah for getting things done!

Sunday Haul #15
A small box arrived this week; a box that I completely forgot about. I had ordered two $5 Freckled Fawn kits. Supposedly they are kits with defects, but I haven't noticed anything off about them. I'm just excited about some cute new PL embellishments.
Sunday Haul #14
I put myself on a craft supply buying ban for April. I did fairly well, but I forgot about preschool at the beginning of May. So I had to buy supplies for the craft. We are going to make painted tea towels for Mother's Day. I can wait to let the kids go crazy with paint! I even bought them mini smocks.
Sunday Haul #13
I received two PL swaps back this week: food and currently. While I love making my own PL cards and doing the swaps, I'm just not using many of the cards. I think these will be my last swaps.

Working on Project Life today...
Sunday Haul #12
I love coming home after a trip to a pile of fun packages. Some were Amazon pantry products, but a few amount were crafty finds! The first A Beautiful Mess Messy Box arrived the day after I flew out to Indiana. I decided to subscribe to their kit as I love ABM's overall look. They are huge fans of geometric shapes and black and white with splashes of color. I'll be looking at this in more detail on Thursday.
SU's free shipping week coincided with April's stamp club and an awesome weekly deal on the magnetic platform. I've been wanting to order one for some time, but kept finding other uses for my budget. I finally pulled the trigger and can't wait to use it especially with those tiny framelits!
I received my BOY PL swaps back. Cute cards! I'm sure most of these will make an appearance in Arthur's album and maybe even the twins' albums.
I took advantage of a Peachy Cheap grab bag offer. Looking at what I got, there are only a few things I don't think I'll use. Those are going into the door prize pile.
Finally I received my Paper Issues swag bag. I also love the little bits of random ephemera included. Now I need to sort this stuff into my various PL supply boxes.
My SU order from free shipping week finally came on Friday. Lots of goodies, but unfortunately a few things were backordered (four of the 2013-2015 in color reinkers).
- Nordic Noel DSP (clearance rack)
- Melon Mambo CS
- Calypso Coral CS

I received a fun little surprise package from my upline's upline because I kept up with my new year's goals for the first three months. She sent us some of her current favorite products.
- Gold Foil Paper
- Paper doilies
- Something Borrowed Embellishments
My second Messy Box came this week. I'm saving both of them for next week when I really dive into them. I'm thinking using them to prep for Day in the Life spring and some greeting cards.
