PL Week #2 -- Documenting

Welcome!

I hope y'all are doing splendidly.

I wanted to show you my PL Week 2 spread,

and also have a wee bit of a discussion

on something I've seen on a message board.

First off,

I only took 2 pics of my spread this week.

lame.

And as I'm looking at this one,

remembered that I am missing a photo.

double lame.

The reason for this 

is because I put this page together 

and forgot about my title bit 

there in the corner.

So put that together

and then went to put it all in their sleeves

and had lost this picture.

Ummmm......ok

because it was right there with my other pics.

Hmmmmm.....ok.

Well I looked everywhere I could think of,

and it still has not shown up.

So I reprinted and now this sleeve is not blank,

but I still haven't found this pic.

Weird.

I think the studio fairies ate it.

moving on.....

I used bits and bobs from my January CKC kit

on this spread.

I love having my little blue box full of CKC goodness

that has come straight from my stash.

Yes folks, it rocks.

If you don't know what I'm talking about follow the link 

right up there

and check it out.  

It is fantastic!!

So on this page you see my title card 

in the corner with "Wk2" in white sparkly Thickers.

I'm gonna milk these stickers for all they are worth,

and then hopefully find some equally cool ones

to continue my PL this year.  

I like the continuity using a similar title

gives to the overall album, 

makes it come together, if you will.

Sir Cuteness being my personal stylist,

and snow boarding.

Be.still.my.heart.

Then the two written pics you see there

are memory verses I've been working on.

They are my yearly Verse Isaiah 26:3

and my January 1 Verse, Psalm 32:7.

This will be a regular feature in my albums.

Then the bottom right is from my first ever

Persnickety Prints order,

which is also the missing picture.

Hmpfff.....

Then here is page two of WK2.

Now I want to address something I saw 

on a message board,

where a lady asked if everyone documents 

only the good of the week

or if people document the challenging

or not so good too.

For me, 

I document both,

and the reason is 

that life is not perfect.

I want to be transparent here.

I deal with a lot of health issues,

but my God is able.

Sometimes these health issues

disrupt our weeks.

We deal with them

and move on.

I try not to dwell in the land of pain.

It's not pretty there.

So we deal with it as it comes.

It is part of our weeks

a lot of times.

So on this spread we have both.

Some good

and 

some not so good.

Just keeping it real.

In the top right, 

I got to hang out with my girl

this week.

It made me SO HAPPY!!

And top right,

our winter has been winter this year.

In MO, we definitely get a mixed

bag,

but this year winter has NOT disappointed.

And because of that,

our dear Sir Cuteness has been home a lot.

For two weeks, he was home more than

he went to school.  

When he was littler and it was just

him and I

(before the preschool days)

he would have sink play.

Yes I know this may sound kinda strange,

but he LOVED

(and still does apparently) =)

to play in the sink.

He gets the soap out,

and the scrub brush

and here the dish gloves

and goes to town.

He gets himself and everything around

him a wet mess,

but I don't mind.

It makes him so happy,

and I get a clean sink

out of the deal.

Win-Win =)

More of the Persnickety Prints goodness,

and then here is where the

not-so-good comes in.

On Sunday of this particular week, 

my herniated disc started acting up.

I mean like shooting pain down my 

arm and seriously hindering everything.

It was hard to sit, stand, lay.....

Nothing seemed to help.

So my sweet man

went out in blizzard conditions

to get me a sling.  

Seriously so sweet.

So here I am,

bottom right,

hanging out

with no make up,

a tossled mess of hair,

and my sling.

It has been very painful.

But it is now starting to get better.

I'm so thankful.

So yes,

I document our week,

even the things that don't go 

just right.

I really want my PL to reflect our 

lives.  

Our everyday,

loving Jesus

and 

living life,

lives.

It is important to me.

Thank you for stopping by 

and keeping up with a really wordy post =)

I am linking up with Sami

right here.

I hope you have a.....

Blessed and Beautiful,

Krafty, Kind of day ~~
