Coffee is always on my mind! When I saw this in the TN, Full Bloom from @studio_calico I knew right away...coffee!

As I mentioned I'm loving using the TN in this way and it's really sparked my creativity!
2020 was a very different year and not just for my family, for everyone. One big difference I had is my eldest, Kira, moved away to another state in early January and then couldn't return home for a visit and still yet to make it home, so with the lack of photos of her, I decided to just accept it for what it is. I'm hoping that 2021 I'll have a bunch of went to visit or her coming home photos during the year of documenting 2021 and will be making up for it!
For 2020 Christmas I decided it would be fun to all go to my family dinner in matching outfits, Wyborn included. I'd gotten Kira one with the hope, but alas not this year. I could only get them in pink in all the sizes needed... I thought this would be a hard sell to hubby, but he was right on board, as it was all for a bit of family fun. So I thought it would make for a really fun cover to all be wearing the shirts and I was SO right.

Wont lie it was a little tricky, again this year with the smaller size. Mainly because last year I did a photo of Kira and I together and Heidi and Chloe together and then Pippa and Valerie on their own, because god knows they wont be together, haha. After going over my photos Kira and I had only taken maybe 3 selfies together for 2019 and I had a lot of the girls, but on their own. So I made do with what I had and made it work with more photos than I usually work with. I'm actually loving the result.

Week 49 was B.U.S.Y for my girls and their activities and then I headed to my sisters over the weekend for our traditional catch up. So I've done one insert of 6x8 and another insert of 3x8 to fit in all the stories from mainly the weekend.

Today I'm sharing my project plans for 2020. I did a little tossing up between doing a family project life album and not doing one and I just couldn't not do one. I've been doing it since around 2013 and it just wouldn't feel right.
My projects line up for 2020 is :
Not pictured is the 9x12 album I'll be suing for project my life, an album all about me.
Happy Gratitude Journal : I started this later in 2019 and love the process. Although the journal is intended for daily use, I do it weekly.
Pocket Page Notebook OR 4x4 Mini Album : I used this to do my currents for the month. It was a small side project that I really enjoyed creating and plan to do for 2020. I'm unsure if I'll be using a pocket page notebook or the 4x4 album I've been hoarding for some time now.
Citrus Twist Album : I'll be TRYING to take part in the 52 favourites again this year. I did start this project in 2018 and then flopped after week 14. So here is to getting past that, haha! Want to know more about this project? Paper Issues hosted this sort of challenge. In a nutshell it's to document one favourite photo or moment from each week for the year of 2020.
Project Life Album 2020 : I tossed up on if I would continue to do a family album for 2020. I've mentioned SO many times, my girls are getting older and less involved and more blossoming into their own, aka off with friends. Kira moving to another state. BUT I decided to stick with it. Memories and stories are always worth telling.
Happy Memory Planner : I started this project again after dropping it in 2017. I'm so happy I started it again in 2019 and can't wait to continue the project in 2020.
So there you have it... My project plans for 2020.
Week 45 in the family album was apparently all about my baby girl, Valerie and my other love, FOOD, lol! My album is about to get even smaller. But more on that soon. For now have a little look see at how week 45 looked for us, or well Valerie, lol.

Week 44 came out pretty simple. The week was pretty much all about Valerie with my girls thrown in there after their basketball match. I got a little creative with using an old kit from messy box and used a large alpha to trace out the pattern paper for the B and then stamped, basketball, along the side. Loved the effect

Ok so week 41 was a slow one, not a lot of photo taking was done. I've also fallen out of the need or want to take photos all the time? It used to be natural and not so much anymore. As I've mentioned over and over, my girls are a lot more active now days, without me. Weekend just gone for example, oldest was out Friday night and then gone Saturday for a course all day. Middle was out with friends all day on the Saturday and youngest still away at a school camp. I mean even my husband was out playing cricket on the Saturday. Not complaining I spent the day crafting, lol. But there are only so many photos I can take of my coffee, haha. A few people suggested on my instagram when I skipped a few weeks to combine and so I've sort of done that in my own way. Here is week 41.

One, two, skip a few and end up in week 39 from 35. During those weeks we were all mainly sick with the flu and not a lot of things were going on. Instead of 'trying' to fill in the weeks I decided some time ago that if there aren't any stories to tell, then I wont go and fill in weeks just for the sake of it. Now here is how week 39 looked with many signs of Spring.

Week 35 I've kept simple. Nearing the end of winter in this week and a trip with just hubby and I to Melbourne for no real reason. I mean, I did have to get my free chatime mango black iced tea with strawberry popping pearls from the birthday coupon I was sent! I noticed so many emails came in for my birthday from companies, with the, it's your birthday here is a gift. But the gift was often, spend $$ and get %% off. That's not a gift, haha! A free drink that is a treat and favourite of mine, now that's a gift.

Week 34 in the family project life album and this week I created a little 3x8 pocket insert as I had so many photos that I still wanted to include from my trip to see my bestie. When I got back our girls had book week and loads of food as I'm still in holiday mode, haha.

7//31 Today for the 31 minutes for 31 days project, I grabbed out the same travelers notebook kit from Studio Calico, that I've been using and I FINISHED IT! I finally finished a whole Studio Calico TN. I've been using them off and on since August last year and had to stop my subscription as I was not using them as much as I'd liked and they were piling up and not being used at all. It was a struggle to make time today with my girls going back to school and so much to catch up on. Using the LOL and BIRTHDAY stamp sets from Kellie Stamps. Want a discount?
