project life: week 52

It's here!  I can (finally) stop sounding like a broken record, talking about how excited I am to be done with 2012.

This week has an extra day, I decided to just include Monday in with it, since I didn't think Dec 31st needed it's own spread.

And with the end of the year, comes the end of Mile a Day.  This challenge was not only great for my running, it was great for my Project Life album!  I was super slacker in the photo department towards the end of the year, so these really helped lighten the load and keep it moving.

We have a family tradition of playing Tripoly on Christmas Eve.  We're all crazy competitive and it can get pretty intense.  I'm also 100% sure that they're all a bunch of cheaters.  Next year will be the year I win, I'm sure of it.

The photo on the left is my niece, gnawing on a rib.  She did a damn fine job for a 16 month old!  On the right is a little bit of writing about my trip to The Road Kill Grill.  This was my first trip to a Diner's, Drive-Ins, and Dives restaurant (I just noticed that I called in Diners, Diners, and Drives in my journaling...oops).  Guy Fierri annoys the crap out of me but I just can't stop watching that show.  The place was so good. If all the places are that good, I'm going to start working my way through them!

New Year's Eve was more family game time.  My dad came over and Becca, Sandy, him, and I all played Yahtzee.  I'm so bad at Yahtzee.  I can never zero out the Yahtzee spot, so I usually end up losing.  It's a pretty common theme, I'm not very good at games!

There's 2012!  That's it!  That's all she wrote!

Second to the last week here!

It was a good week.  I'd been waiting for the end of the year for what seemed like forever (it was really only about a month) and these last 2 weeks didn't disappoint.

On Saturday of this week I ran my first 5k which was great.  It was a good feeling and I'm so glad that I accomplished it.  (f you click on the photo, it gets a bit bigger and you can see what they thought my name was (my actual name is Carissa Halbmaier- not even close!).  Turns out I have the worst handwriting ever!

That little baby just wanted to hang out with me while I watched her on Wednesday and Thursday.  She was such a good helper- pushing keys and helping me take notes.  

That's it!  Kept these last few weeks super simple because I knew that I wouldn't do them if I didn't (sad, but true).  Stay tuned to see the final week, up tomorrow!

This week can be summed up so fast!  Cookies, running, craft show, friends.  Embarrassing how easy that was.

Still love this project, can't wait to start on 2013!

Got to Skype with 2 of my favorite girls this week and it was great to see them!  

Seriously can't get enough Christmas lights.  My mom is coming in to town tomorrow and I'm hoping to go around and see more of them!

This month I am thankful for mile a day + Trader Joe's Christmas treats.  

Pretty simple this week, just a lot of normal, everyday stuff.  Honestly, I'm fizzling out as the end of the year gets closer.  Finishing projects when I have a new project in my sights has always been a bit of a problem for me, and this is no exception!  Just a couple more weeks before I close out Project Life 2012 and get on with Project Life 2013!

project life: week 48

I love this project but it's getting to be that time of year.  I'm so ready to start new with next year.  I've got big things planned for next year and I can't wait to get started on them!!

But for now, let's finish 2012 with a bang.

Another simple week.  Pretty easy to fill up the week when half of the photos are taken care of!

I really love this Mile a Day challenge.  It's been such a great motivation to get out and move!  

I'm furiously working trying hard not to give up on finishing scarves for my nephews for Christmas.  I've got 1 and a half done- only 1 and a half left!  

After years of debating, I finally bought a Silhouette on Black Friday.  I decided that there wasn't a better time to but one since there were such great sales going on!  I've been playing around with it constantly ever since- making greeting cards, project life cards, t-shirt transfers, everything I can think of!  I'm not second guessing that purchase one bit.

Pushing for one final surge to get me through to the New Year.  Motivation, don't fail me now!
