LOAD 2013: Days 13-17

I’m keeping up with LOAD although some days it’s a stretch. I’m not doing so well with posting here so I’ll try to keep the words brief and share the last five layouts. I must admit I like this project. I have a hard time getting myself to scrap sometimes, but this provides a lot of motivation.

Day 13’s prompt was to try a new technique. I don’t often mix a lot of patterned papers and I’ve never gone to one of my 6X6 paper pads for a layout. All the papers came from Love Me by MME.

Day 14 was to scrap “Home.” I started a big album about all the homes I’ve lived in several years ago, and haven’t done anything with it in a long time. I scrapped about the first house I really remember living in when I was in K-2nd grade in Kansas.

I don’t remember the prompt for Day 15 except I know I didn’t follow it. I took the opportunity to do a two-page layout about my niece’s wedding last July.

Day 16 was to scrap something you’re grateful for. I’m hardly ever on Facebook, but I’m really grateful my son-in-law and Tracy both post regularly. Otherwise I’d miss the photos like this one. Evidently Caleb insisted on pushing the cart around for over 40 minutes before he was willing to get in the cart and take a ride.

Day 17’s prompt was to scrap some object that was meaningful to you. Sian‘s StoryTelling Sunday’s “Pick Your Precious” was right there on the blog waiting to be scrapped.

Hope you are having a good week! I’m making progress on some cleaning projects, busy with committee meetings, and keeping up with the elimination diet we’re trying. Although it hasn’t answered the questions I hoped it would, it’s been worthwhile, but takes a lot of time, both at the grocery store and in the kitchen. I’ll be back later with more about it.
