project life love

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Thank you, friends. I appreciate the messages and comments about how Project Life is helping you with your endeavors to preserve your memories and do something with your pictures. Many of you seem to be spreading the word (especially to your “non-scrapbooking” friends) and I want you to know how much I appreciate that. You’re awesome.

1. Yes, I am working on the next version of Project Life to release in time for Christmas. Same kit with new, updated designs. The kits on Amazon right now are the last of this year’s design. When they’re gone, they’re gone.

2. If you’re outside of the U.S. you can order HERE.

3. Want to do something with your pictures, but not so much with a physical scrapbooking kit? If digital is your preference, click HERE for the scoop on that. Personally, I’m doing the digital version for our family’s Project Life. I know everyone has their personal preference. That’s why we’re offering both options. Take your pick.  : )

4. If you use Project Life and want to share this on your own blog, you can grab the graphic (you’ll see it right here – on the right side of my blog).

Project Life is back in stock!

the pet we had for 36 hours.

Two nights ago the kids found a teeny tiny gecko in our little bathroom closet. Didn’t bother me one bit. Welcome to desert living.

Somehow 3 people in our family got the idea that this little creature would become our pet. As of this morning, the baby was still safely kept in a red plastic cup with a few scraps of what my kids thought my be good food. Um, are those onion peelings? Why, yes. I do believe they are. Um, nice.

So this morning was one of those mama-knows-best moments. I had a pep talk with the kids. Explained that the two options were: 1) we keep the gecko and it will die — because my gut tells me that it absolutely will die. I’m sure of it. We’re not in a stage of life where taking care of pets is our best skill or interest.

Option 2) we let the gecko go where he can survive and thrive and enjoy desert living the way he should. There was much resistance at first but after I explained that geckos have families too, my kids’ hearts softened. And then it was a quick, “Okay!”

Okay!? Just like that? Sweet. So off we went to the backyard where we released our little baby gecko friend.

The kids wanted to name him Jaxon. After all, whether you have a pet for 10 years or 36 hours, you still give him a name, right? So … farewell, Jaxon. Hope to see you around. Thanks in advance for eating whatever little critters around here that we’d prefer to keep out of the house.
