Hello,
I’ll be sharing this post at The Mom Creative.
I’ve put a bit of effort into this weeks PL and I think it looks pretty good. I was a bit short of photos so have included a couple of filler cards (the hippo one is a copy of a print that I have just bought from Etsy – I’ve loved hippos since I was a little girl and have a bit of a collection).
Here is the layout – sorry about the glare:
The left side:
The right side:
And some close ups:
Title page
Miss P revelling in her new tea-set games.
My new hand punch and a quote I found on Pinterest.
Chai Latte and a melting moment – perfect morning tea.
My Mum’s 70th Birthday.
Another proud moment… :p
A tiny preview of my travel journal – still working on it.
A playdate for Paige and her friend Mitchell.
My sleeping beauty and some trivia – highest rainfall in 24 hours for 62 years – it was alot!
More of this never-ending quilt.
I’ve been on holidays so am nice and relaxed but back to work this Saturday on night shift. I will be doing 6 nights per fortnight from then on so hopefully I will be able to keep up-to-date and get some sleep.
Thanks for looking, leave me some love if you have the time – I love reading your comments.
Cheers,
Sharon
PS: Week 27 is missing but I do have the photos – will get it finished and do an extra post.

Sharon this is fantastic. I love your new style – the pages look so good together and then looking at each card you have got so much in. Love all the extra bits and pieces you have used, especially the hexagons 🙂 xx

Thanks Sarah. I need to do something different to spark my enthusiasm. I’m fairly happy with the layout.

Hi Diamond, and thanks again. Mum had a lovely day. I think as long as I can get enough sleep in the daytime I should be fine. 🙂

Lovely pages Sharon, they are so bright and cheerful. What a cute way to incorporate some fabric hexagons along with the photo of the project. And that washi tape is ace! I love how you can track the development of big crafting projects within this program, it’s fun to look back on!
sharon71 said:
Thanks for the kind words Casey. I think of my PL as a bit of a time capsule. Hopefully I’ll look back one day and remember when that finished quilt was just getting started 🙂

Just amazing. Love this week Sharon. It’s been so fun to follow you all year long–you really “get to know” a person! Love the quote from Sophia Loren. I might have to use that one myself!
sharon71 said:
That’s really nice to hear Heather – thank you! 🙂 It is a nice quote – I was looking for a filler and it kind of fit in with the week nicely. I have scans of the pattern for that quilt if you want it still – just need an email to send to. Let me know 🙂
