Year-Long Classes – Month Three

Since I spent the night watching Glee with Jake and it’s almost 9pm here, I figured I might as well catch up on posting about the yearlong classes. So here is March.

I am taking two year-long classes at Big Picture Classes this year. I am pretty sure you must have heard of both. Even though these are not amazing, I still thought it would be fun to post my progress each month. If for no other reason than to record things.

Here are my OLW pages for March:

my one-thing was two things. one was to go out to breakfast 3 times and the other was to drive on the free way 3 times in March. And despite the difficult months, I accomplished both:

here it is open:

And then here’s the Move More, Eat Well page for March. Looks like I didn’t photograph it in my album but I do have the page:

And here we go. That’s where we are now. I will post a April update soon.

The Savor Project – Week 16

And here’s the spread for week sixteen (i have come to believe i will never take good photos of these :)):

here’s a closer up of the left side:

Sorry for the blurring of the art. This week’s art was for an upcoming blog hop so I am keeping it safe till then. The stories here are: david and nathaniel’s love, david losing his tooth, david’s stickers on his sketchbook, the boys hanging out in the yard.

And here’s the right side:

The first one here is a new tradition we started with David where we both individually spend a little extra time with David on a date so he can get some alone time with both of us. The next one is Nathaniel’s sharing at school and then our playground fun.

My art and our family photo along the bottom as usual.

So there we go. So far, so good. Still enjoying this project a lot.

Happy Savoring.
