Welcome to Week 25 of The Documented Life Project! This week, the challenge is to cover your pages with hearts! I was digging through my studio, looking for inspiration for this week’s challenge and I came across some cupcake holders with cute little hearts! I used to make paper dolls for my daughter when she was little so I decided …
So Very Grateful . . .
Week 23: Practice Gratitude As I write this blog post, it is actually 3 weeks earlier and I am about to head to Europe for a wonderful 3-week vacation with my husband! We will start in Budapest and travel the Rhine and Danube, through 5 countries, and end up in Amsterdam. When this blog post is published, I will be …
Villa Villekulla
Week 22: Draw a House I was so very excited with this challenge and knew EXACTLY what house I wanted to draw! When I was young, I dreamed I would live with Pippi Longstocking at Villa Villekula! We would be best friends and adventure together and live in this beautiful house with NO PARENTS! This is exactly how I envisioned …
A Stitch in Time
Week 21 Challenge: Add Embroidery Floss or Thread For this week’s Documented Life Challenge, I decided to use my sewing machine and a vintage dish towel that I have been cutting up for various other projects. I cut the fabric to the size of my planner page and adhered it with gel medium. Once dry, I stitched all around the …
Burn Rubber
Week 20 – Use a Rubber Stamp in a New Way I don’t know if this qualifies as a hobby or an obsession, but I have a lot of rubber stamps . . . like, A LOT! Here is my collection of wood mounted stamps (my wonderful husband built those shelves for me) and if you look far in the …
Abandoned Art
Week 19 – Perform a Random Act of Kindness and Document I love, love, love this week’s challenge because I did something brave that I have never done before (but have wanted to)!

Quote Unquote
Week 18 – Add an Inspiring Quote to Guide Your Week I spent all week trying to find a profound and inspirational quote to share in this challenge. I have a Pinterest Board, a book and a file on my computer full of quotes that I love. Nothing seemed to move me this week and then I realized I have …
Walk in My Shoes
Week 17 Challenge – Photograph or Draw Your Favorite Shoes My favorite shoes are a pair of taupe leather ballet flats. Comfy, well worn, and i bought them in Florence, Italy! The best part about these shoes . . . the adorable plate of sushi that sits on the toe of each one! How absolutely random – I love them! …
In The Pantry
Week 16 – Add a Cardboard Food Box to Your Page This week I decided to just play! No serious thought behind the challenge and no deep thinking or metaphors. Just sit and play! Our family is trying hard to avoid boxed foods and eat whole and organic so our pantry was pretty empty. I was really at a …
What’s in a Name?
Week 14 – Write your name. Embellish it. I HATED my name when I was a kid? I mean, HATED IT! I would tell people my name was Lori or Laura so that I didn’t have to choke out my full name. I was named after my mother’s childhood imaginary friend, Lorraine, which made it seem even weirder to me! …
