Project Life : Week Two

Project Life - Week Two is in the books, though I'm feeling kind of "meh" about it. This layout is fairly boring/not very pretty, mainly because this week was fairly boring/not very pretty-- we spent much of the week stuck inside due to the crazy low temps of the polar vortex. The only other notable event was that my poor kitty Misfit got sick again (that's her in a head-ring in the selfie on the left side). She's been battling an infection for much of the past two months and had a bout with Fatty Liver Disease that caused her to stop eating and drinking, which necessitated me feeding her with a syringe several times a day and administering dozens of meds. When she stopped eating and got nauseated on Monday I sort of panicked, thinking the Fatty Liver Disease was re-appearing. But with a few anti-nausea pills, she seems to be back on track now, and we have surgery scheduled for her later this week to hopefully fix her various ailments for good.

Since not much fun stuff was going on, I used the right side of the spread to celebrate my admittedly ridiculous tea addiction. I bought a bunch of new Teavana varieties in a post-Christmas sale, and I noticed that the cold weather plus the new teas resulted a sharp rise in my daily tea consumption. So I documented my day by way of tea, noting the time and variety on each photo. I ended up loving the way it came out and enjoyed coming up with different ways to take basically the same photo throughout the day. (Note: I'll do a blog post tomorrow or Wednesday with the tea photos and some comments about the teas I drank that day... In case anyone is as obsessed with tea as I am.)

Items used: Midnight Edition Core Kit, Photo Pocket Pages variety pack, Smash date stamp, Canon Selphy printer, Sharpie Pens, white address labels, Kelly Purkey stamps from Simon Says Stamp (that I don't think are for sale anymore), washi tape from TheWashiShop and Smash dot tape.

Custom Touches: The weekly title, "This Week," and "My Day in Tea" cards were printed on cards from the Midnight kit using this technique/guide from The Lilypad.
