Another week down and still enjoying Project Life. I will be sharing this post at The Mom Creative – I hope you enjoy it – a lot of lovely bloggers are sharing their work and it is really motivating and inspirational to me to see what others are doing. You should check it out.
Our week this week was pretty much just work and daycare but I have managed to easily fill another double layout. I hope you like what I’ve done – I would love to hear from you if you do. So far I’ve had 3200 views on this blog and less than 120 comments, that doesn’t seem like many to me. I nearly always leave a quick comment when I read a blog so not sure why I don’t get very many. Do you other bloggers find that too? Let me know if you are blogging and I will add you to my blog-roll.
On to the week:
- Visit to the vet for Isobel
- Washi tape gift from a friend
- Flo came home
- Paige & I went swimming with Mum
- Week 1 of my 12 Week Body Transformation
- Kiva loan
So here are the photos:

Close ups:
A little pocket I made from off-cuts of a page-protector and some washi tape.
Photos added to digital cards in PSE:
So that was the week that was. Hope you enjoyed my post.

Thanks Diamond – I’ve got a bit of work to do on the the 12wbt but it will be worth it.
Tamara said:
Another awesome week Sharon!!
I really like the small photos on the journalling cards – might have to give it a go in my album next week.
Good luck with the 12wbt, I’m sure that you will do well 🙂

Cheers Tamara – love that lock of hair on your post. 🙂

Your album is looking amazing. LOVE the nude surfing photo, too cute for words 🙂

Thanks Rene xo

I think your pages are wonderful. It was clever to include Pinterest in there, I think it takes a chunk out of a lot of our days. 😀 I really like the little pocket you made. So cute. You have a great style, and it’s fun to look at your pages.
To answer your question… yeah, comments are few and far between. I can have a day with 500 visitors and not one single comment left. It can be a bit of a downer sometimes. I try to leave comments when I visit a blog too, but honestly, I only leave them if I feel like I have in some way connected with the blog.
My blog is at http://squaregoods.me if you feel like checking it out.
I try to focus more on page views vs comments left. Which isn’t always easy. 🙂
sharon71 said:
Thanks for the feedback Sarah – I’m going to focus on the views too 🙂
Off to check out your blog now.
Julie said:
Hi Sharon! Your pages look great! Love your “I love you” digital overlay you used. Also love your use of washi tape & your journal cards look great. I too am super addicted to Pinterest….LOVE all the inspiration there.
About the comments…that is totally normal! Like Sarah said, some days I can have lots of views & very few comments. I try to remember that I blog for myself & my family. My hope is that I encourage others within the autism community & educate others about our life. I read lots of blogs & often times don’t comment, however, since starting to blog myself I have made more of a conscious effort to comment b/c I know it is encouraging to the blogger.
Hope you have a great week!
sharon71 said:
Thanks Julie, I will be using a lot more of the overlays in the next few weeks.
I’m going to remember who I blog for too.
Have a great week.
Heather Johnson said:
Great as always! Love the pinterest pic–I will have to borrow that idea, it’s quickly becoming one of my obsessions! Also love that “nude surfing” pic and the one of the dolls–I got such a chuckle out of that! As far as comments go, I think that’s just how it goes. It takes time to comment, and I think a lot of people are sneaking in peeks at work and such and they just look and go to the next one. At least that’s what I am hoping! I have experienced the same thing…lots of view, not much from people on what they think. BUT–those that have looked and left comments have inspired me and it does keep me going!
sharon71 said:
You are probably right Heather. I am just going to keep on blogging and hope that my viewers like what they see.
Thanks for looking and leaving the feedback.
I’m off to look at your blog now 🙂
Beth said:
Great layout….so light and bright , just love the Clementine kit and love the little pocket sealed with washi tape. Great :). Beth
sharon71 said:
Thanks Beth – the Clementine is lovely.
Jules said:
Cool pages again this week. And I have major washi tape envy! Love that little page protector made with the washi tape.
sharon71 said:
It is good stuff – I can see a growing obsession. Can a girl have too much Washi?
Thanks for looking and commenting Jules. 🙂
Debbie said:
Very cool pages!
sharon71 said:
Thanks Debbie, I’m off to check out your blog now.
Claire said:
What beautiful pages! I love the Pinterest idea. Your cat is beautiful…what a sweet girl!
sharon71 said:
Thanks for the lovely comments Claire.
Camilla Blue said:
Love the photo of the Strawberry Shortcake dolls. Oh the childhood memories that brings back.
I find comments are hit and miss. I love it when people leave them, but I also know that lots of people like to look a lot before they ever take the time to leave a comment. But, they are so fun to read, aren’t they?!
Oh, and I love the orange arrows. It adds such a nice consistent pop of reoccurring color. Love that.
sharon71 said:
They are the sweetest little dolls – Paige loves them. I must have missed the SSC craze myself.
Thanks for looking and commenting.
kristina said:
Lovely pages! 🙂
sharon71 said:
Thanks for looking 🙂
Nat D said:
Love your layout this week Sharon! was looking forward to it this week! I have a little obsession with Washi tape and Pinterest as well! How addictive is it and it has the best ideas. Love how you made the little photo slip with the washi tape – will have to try that one 🙂 Glad to see my son isnt the only one nude – I have the cutest photos of him but cant even post them as he is too nude 24/7 … haha kids make you laugh.
You’ll have to do updates on the michelle bridges program 🙂 sounds like a great idea and good luck with it! going to be a good year!
sharon71 said:
Thanks for the lovely comment Nat. Pinterest has a lot to answer for when it comes to my spare time 😉
I will be posting about 12wbt – hopefully bragging about my losses!!
