Wow, Week 1 is done and dusted! And I really had fun putting it together. I actually did it over several days, because not only did I not want to rush it, but I also needed to come back to it several times to figure out what little bits and pieces I needed to add to it. I think I am going to get better at embellishing it as I go along. So here is week 1…
Week 1 Whole
Here is the whole spread looking down at it with my insert on the right side.
And here is just the left side, which covers New Years day, Monday & Tuesday:
Sunday – New Years Day
Stayed home, Mark worked. We had been out til 1 the night before so everyone was very tired.
Monday – We to the movies to see the Muppets
Tuesday – Mums birthday
People came round during the day to see mum. The boys watched a movie in the afternoon – cars2 and played some soccer. In the evening we went to Papermoon in Mairangi Bay for mums birthday dinner with my sister Jo & her partner Dave.
Insert Left side
This is the popcorn box from the Muppets, along with the tickets. I had to keep that box!
Insert Right side
Week 1 Right Side
Wednesday – Mum took the boys to the Glenfield pools for a couple of hours while I went and had some physio on my back. Jo & Dave had been out fishing so we had fish for dinner.
Thursday – The boys had a friend over for the night and the mucked around and we went down to the park to play some cricket before coming home for a swim.
Friday – It was my last day off work so I took the boys to Glow in the Dark mini golf and then we headed into Takapuna for some movenpick ice-cream which we had down at the beach. The boys decided they had to go for a swim.
Saturday – The boys are going to Dunedin tomorrow so we spent the day getting them ready and then went to see Tintin for some family time.
Sunday – We got up at 5:00 to get to the airport for the boys early flight to Dunedin where they will spend the week with their Nana & Granddad.

And that's Week 1. The orange strip on Wednesday is Rileys wrist band from the pools, and I have the mini putt score card behind the journaling as well. I feel like I could have embellished the right side of the page a bit more. But its ok. I still like it as it is as well.
On to Week 2. And its going to be a VERY different week with the boys away. So far, I have a picture of the dog, and one of Mark!! I must try and get a few of myself in there this week!!

I think it looks really, really cool! And yay for that popcorn box, just awesome!
I thought the same about this week, no stat days and I'm working all week, long hours. Kelly is useless in taking the camera, so not sure what the end result will be! :)
fab!!! I need to collect my photos from HN which will hopefully be ready now (finally!!!) and then week 1 can be done!
I started back at work this week too = not too many photos this week...
Looking amazing, Megan! I love what you've done with your album so far. Hope you continue to have fun with it! :-)
very cool and yes you need to hand that camera over more often!!!
very cool and love the idea of adding the popcorn box!!!
Looks fantastic Megan. Love the typed journalling and the little bits added here and there. Hand that camera over and get infront of it
looks awesome ... well I'm taking photos, but not sure yet what I'm going to be doing with them ...
Keep it up and don't forget the 'you' shots while the boys are away.
Happy New Year to you and Mark and the boys.
Great first week Megan - it looks like you all had a lot of fun.
Your PL is fab, I love the Muppet insert and the twine on the first card is a nice touch.
Thanks for popping by my blog. I will look forward to seeing what you come up with next week.
