I'm trying a new entry for my blog. 'Slice of Life Tuesday'. (the 12 on 12th didn't work for me, I think this will be better!). This idea is from Darrah Parkers blog where, as Darrah says -

"Slice of Life Tuesday is a weekly photo challenge in which I provide a theme for inspiration and ask people to share photos from their everyday lives. For me, it has provided a way to stay creative and find the beauty in ordinary moment"

Each week as part of my Project 2010 album I include 3-4 photos, a piece of "stuff". and 1 journalling card. As part of 'Slice of Life Tuesday', I will share a photo &/or stuff that will be part of that week.

Today I have a photo of the two favourite books I read on holidays. I absolutely loved them both. I had read Diane Chamberlains book Beautiful Lie (and loved it), so was happy to find another of hers - and it was just as good! I hadn't heard of Geraldine Brooks, and her 'People of the Book' novel was one where I had to concentrate a little more than I usually like when on holidays, but it was definately worth it. I will be searching out another of her books soon.


And as a very current slice of life, this week I have a horrible cold/flu! I havn't done anything for the past two days, and am hoping that these tablets (Amcal brand of course!) will bring on a miraculous recovery in time for work tomorrow morning!

Where has the week gone! Cindy returned to Adelaide last Monday, and Laura moved more stuff to her new house this weekend, and Mum returned to Bundaberg early Sunday Morning. It is quiet here at the moment, and hopefully I will get more scrapbooking done this week.
Here is my first 2 weeks of may Project 2010 pages, I am going to use them as my next -
LOAD challenge - A multi photo layout.

Project 2010 - Here are my April Wks 3 & 4. I am going to miss my Picture Spring Class (although I did miss a few prompts in the last half of the month), which helped me with photos for these!
For May I have signed up for Laine's LOAD (LayOut A Day). The theme is 'Define Your Style'. I havn't done one of these before, so I am looking forward to daily hints, tips, ideas, prompts, tutorials etc, to get me motivated to do more pages!
These pages are todays (May 1st).

Here are the first 2 weeks of April from my 'Project 2010' Album.

I am still waiting for a partner for the 'Team Up Thursday' Diptych. Everyone had been partnered up - so hopefully someone new will sign up soon and I can get started!

Here is the next two of my 'Project 2010' pages - documenting my family's everyday life.

These pages are the last two weeks of March.

Since I have set this blog up, I figured I will use it for more that the Team Up Thursday Diptichs (I am waiting to hear if I have a partner - very exciting!).

So the plan is to weekly put up a Layout I have made, and the page from my Project Life album.

Project 2010

I have made up my own Project Life album, using We R Memory Keeper divided page protectors, and each week (4 pages per month) include 3-4 photos, 1 journalling card, and 1 piece of "stuff"(reciepts, flyers etc). This is my ongoing Chronological scrapbooking in a way.

Here is my first two weeks of March 2010 pages -

As you can see - these are just covering everyday life - all the little things that I would otherwise forget. For more info on this type of Scrapbooking check out the blogs I read - Becky Higgins & Ali Edwards.
