another Monday . . .

The weekends seem to fly by!! Just when Friday evening comes around, I wake up and it's Monday, again!! We had a busy weekend, despite the rain {yay!!} The older girls went away for the weekend with friends, as their Spring Break wrapped up. The little ones had a birthday party to go to on Saturday, which was a lot of fun. There was grocery shopping, a Micheal's trip, some Panera Bread bagels. We also got some house cleaning done - which is always loads of fun - ha! And . . . I FINALLY finished my little hybrid album that I had been working on last week!! I think it turned out really cute. Seriously though, it was a LOT of work! This was the first hybrid project that I have ever done, and it was more difficult than I expected. Not really hard, just tedious and time consuming. But totally worth it!! Now that I have done one, I know some things to change the next time, what to do and not to do. KWIM? Anyway, here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure!!!

Okay, I know that was A LOT of pictures!! But I wanted to show each month's page. I am just so proud of this little calender album!!! As for credits, all of the papers are Jen Wilson's The Laundry Line. The album is the Basic Grey Keyplate Album. Flowers are PRIMA, buttons are from Autumn Leaves. Brads, paint, and "date." letters are from Making Memories. Ribbon and pens are from American Crafts. Distressing ink is from Tim Holtz and Color Box. Floss is from DMC, and I am not really sure who makes the little die-cut heart on the back cover.

Well, in case you are wondering why this post is SO early, I had to take Scott to the airport. So, I have been up since 4:15AM, and I am pooped!! Hopefully, the little ones will sleep in a bit and I can catch a few more Z's!!! Hope you all have a great Monday and a wonderful week!!
