PROJECT LIFE- WEEK 13
The most exciting thing this week was a two day course with Nature Photographer Andrew Goodall from Montville. Natures Image Photography It was fabulous, Joey, Tess’ boyfriend came with me (thanks to Lisa Hayes ) we learnt so much and I'm happy to say until tonight I haven't had my camera out of manual. Only one small insert this week.
A koala in the wild which was lovely to see.
PROJECT LIFE -WEEK 12
Ended up using a few inserts this week I'm trying not to put too much in it as I don't want it to be really bulky at the end. Everyone had different activities in all different directions Tess and I went to Australia Zoo with my friend Tess and her grandchildren. Tony had to race at Warialda, Lucy went with him
Week 12 without any inserts, the week started off really quiet but then the coast received a deluge and it flooded in parts it had never flooded before it was bizarre it happened so quickly we live on a hill so we are safe but my girls decided to go shopping in Maroochydore after school and as the time moved on to 4pm I was hearing of streets being closed and thought they would be stuck in Maroochydore for hours if they didn't get home soon there was only one road opened to get through. Tess said it was very scary driving and I was glad they had the 4WD
I was hoping Lucy would take some more pictures but she didn't and I had hoped that I would find on of Tony somewhere but I haven't so must put something in that pocket.
Tess voted for the first time manage to get a photo of that I was waiting for a tap on the shoulder and asked what was I doing.
PROJECT LIFE WEEK 10
Oh my goodness I cant believe I haven't posted anything since the 6th of March. I think I've only visited my blog twice in that time, that’s terrible. Lucky I've kept up with Project Life still have journaling and embellishments to do I'm only about two weeks behind that shouldn't take too long. I'm still enjoying the process although I've been a bit light on the photographs the last couple of weeks and have to remind myself to get out there and take photos.
I'm sorry about the quality of the photos over the next few posts I should have taken them earlier in the afternoon but I thought If I don't get them taken today it might be another week.

Week 9
What an up and down week this week extreme sadness, excitement and happiness, I guess that’s why its called Project Life.
My daughter Lucy is intellectually disabled, she has learning difficulties and school is a real struggle. Twice a year since she started school we get together with her case manager and work out an education plan both for school and home, it’s a list of what we want Lucy to achieve. This year it’s changed I’m not sure if this is just for her school, state or federal it’s now called Pathway (I think) I must admit I was sceptical and thought oh yeah another “plan” but I was so impressed with this. This is Lucy’s plan not mine not her case worker but hers. The only things to go on this list were what she wanted. Lucky Annabelle can draw and I think her Path looks really good. Lucy likes visuals and couldn’t wait to put this up on her wall. It has a list of people who influence her, short and long term goals and how and who are going to help her get there. Very positive and most things are very doable. We could take positive people to this meeting (it took 2hours) I took my parents, but we could have taken day care workers, someone from an employment agency etc. My DH would have been there but he had to work.
The excitement was Grandma and Grandpa coming for a visit it’s great that they only live a few hours away again. Tess bought her first car at the car auctions, She had been saving for ages, it’s a great little car.
On a very sad note we lost a very close friend, he was only 44, so sad. He was such a lovely and funny person and a great handyman. I guess for him he’s in a better place, we are certainly going to miss him.
Just couldn't get rid of the glare in the photo.
Not to self Do not glue photos or cards to the back of the other photos or cards until you are absolutely sure everything is in the right place. I'm not a hundred percent happy with where everything is placed but cant move it now.
Bye for now

Project Life Week 8
I'm really enjoying Project Life, it’s funny even Tess’s boyfriend gives me bits and pieces that I might like to keep, They went to a music festival and he had a hand written list of the bands he would like to see so I added that, he gave me a business card that I forgot to pick up at a tavern we were all at yesterday. I'm training them well just got to get Tess and Tony (DH) to take more photo’s when they go places together. They took one photo at the car auctions, One. They need working on. Here’s my week eight I didn't get this posted last week as I was waiting for Joey to hand over photos that he took at the music festival that he, Tess and Lucy went to. He gave me a grand total of 3 photos, they were there from 11am to 11pm and I got three photos, it had been raining but it wasn't that bad. I used another insert it was a 10x12 , I didn't have enough photos from the music festival I added the ticket, I also downloaded a copy of the programme . I also added the girls in their gumboots that they were going to wear I had to laugh the tag basically said that these boots were useless in heavy rain but made you look gorgeous as you were bouncing around in the puddles.
Had a bit of trouble taking photos today, no decent light.
The two pages without the inserts
Borrowed two ideas for this page. One was in the mail today I took from Amy Tangerine and the photo of the groceries with the price on it came from Figuring Out 40 . I want to put the receipts and business card into a red envelope I just cant find where I have put it. Love my friends new car, would have loved a drive.
