Two of the weeks here were fairly eventful and I decided to add an additional page protector for each to hold more photos and memorabilia. I found the divided sheets online inexpensively, allowing for easy expansion. If you'd like a closer look at any of the layouts, click on a photo to enlarge.
Week 10: March 7 - 13
The insert here is a regular 8x5x11" page protector that holds a map of a children's museum we visited and, on the flip side, a number of bits of life from that week that I'll adhere to cardstock in a much more cohesive manner...soon. The photo collages that I've included, such as the top right here, were made very simply in Picasa. One of the many reasons I love to use the program for quick photo edits.
Oh, look! A photo of me. See, evidence I was there...Week 11: March 14 -20
Week 12: March 21 - 27
Front of the divided insert includes my two favorite of G's 15 month photos, the sample card of the paint we chose for our living room/kitchen (bottom: Behr, Raffia Cream) and a toy tag from our trip to Ikea - this was for felt fruit :)Back of the insert includes the receipt from our Ikea trip and more photos I loved from that week, including the adorable face G makes right now when he is concentrating hard on a task or is excited about something ("Oooo!") and checking out his brand-new striped armchair and ottoman.
See, not ALL photos are of our kid. I've included a shot of the savings from our grocery shopping that week (over 30% savings using sales and coupons!) and Mr. Boom's forearm wearing his magnetic contraption that held the nails he was using to install our new master closet organizer.
Week 13: March 28 - April 3
The back of this week's insert (front left out deliberately for privacy or, it wasn't finished. Yeah, one of those.) A business card and menu from Chipotle and more favorite photos from the week.I love, love, love how this project is coming together. It isn't effortless but, it is easy. It fits into my life and schedule right now. And, I am capturing real stuff of our daily routine, family and world. Love that. Project Life? Yes, indeed.

Oh Jen, I think it's turning out beautifully, love the way you're putting it all together, and truly I say as long as you are saving the memories it's perfect. Great job.
