Week in the Life and 12 on Twelve | September 2013

12 on Twelve, Week in the Life, WITL

ae_bracket_promo_witl2013

So this year, Week in the Life with Ali Edwards falls in September. It’s this week, the 9th to the 15th. And that means 12 on Twelve falls right in the middle.

Since I’m documenting pretty much every second of our lives already, why would I still do 12 on Twelve?

Well, for me, they’re two separate albums – WITL is its own mini and 12 on Twelve is an 8×10 collage that I insert in my Keeping Track of Life (monthly PL) album. Although I had considered just running them together, I have decided to do both today – obviously I’m a crazy lady!

Of course, some pics will overlap but many won’t. For example, for 12 on Twelve I always take a selfie in the porch mirror; for WITL I take a daily full length pic. Also, some things I document for WITL are just not things I care about saving in my 12 on Twelve collage each month.

So tomorrow, I’ll post my regular monthly 12 on Twelve and later, once my mini album is completed, I’ll leave a link to the Flickr gallery where you can peruse the WITL pics, as if you need that detailed a look at my life! 🙂

Check back later today, I’ll be posting my first two LO made with the new September Card kit from the Paperie!

12 on Twelve

Yeah, so my anal retentive nature just wouldn’t let me do a 6 on 12 that only had pics from a small portion of the day. So here’s the 12 pics that I took yesterday to make up for it!

12on13may

1. my monthly selfie

2. a Mother’s Day flower from Miss I when she came

3. Ella

4. birthday cake “baking” in the sand crab

5. “Stop taking my picture!”

6. chalk everywhere

7. homemade potato chips with smoked sea salt

8. walking Molly to school

9. Uncle Graham helping with the Lego building

10. swimming lessons

11. new sunglasses for Gabe

12. Rosie

I’ll be back later with a “real” post so you don’t have two 12on12’s back to back!

12 on Twelve

So I completely blanked yesterday and thought it was the 11th. All day. Until about midnight.

So I don’t have a 12 on Twelve for May – but I do have 6! It doesn’t cover the whole day, only a tiny little portion, but I’m going with it. If I feel like it during today I might do my twelve but for now, I’m letting six be ok for this month!

6on12may

(viewing from left to right)

1. Graham and Gabe at Mother’s Day brunch, eating lemons.

2. Gabe posing at Freak Lunchbox before getting his candy fix.

3. Graham playing up for the camera while Gabe tries his hardest to ignore his uncle!

4. Gabe eating his toast creation – Strawberry and Raspberry jam, with Cheez Whiz and Peanut Butter.

5. Uncle Graham reading when we got home.

6. Me and my mom at brunch.

Hope all you moms, moms-to-be, and non-traditional moms out there had a great one yesterday!

2. Gabe wanting to get in on the morning hugging action.

12 on Twelve, Nikkor, Nikon

I decided to take out my neglected 50mm lens yesterday and use it for all my pics – I had forgotten how much I love that lens! It’s actually the reason I have a decent camera. I came home from a scrapping retreat and told D that I wanted to take pics that were sharp but blurry. Luckily, he actually knew what I meant and handed over his old Nikon with this lens. Now that I’ve put it back on the camera, it may be a while before I take it off again!

12on12march1. My regular selfie.

2. Miss M actually wanting her pic taken at breakfast.

3. Reading on the Story Sofa.

4. Playing in the snow (who else wants to eat up that sweet face?)

5. Being silly in the snow.

6. Sliding in Tricia’s yard – she has the best hill and the best slide!

7. Reading while waiting for her ride to school.

8. “Take a picture of this face, Mama!” (not so sweet this time but still chewable)

9. Everyone left early so Mr. G and I walked to pick Miss M up at school.

10. “Mama, this is a fabulous surprise!”

11. He knows the letters to his name now and types them into everything (the writing thing however, no interest!)

12. Kitting for my class this weekend during Kelly Purkey’s visit!

I actually had too many pictures this time around – that lens is awesome! – so I think there will be some LO’s in my future!
