November was a pretty busy month, but I love how some of these pages came together (albeit a bit late).
Week 23 was a really Big one – Hurricane Sandy hit, and we traveled to Barbados for Dan’s sister’s wedding.
Before we lost power, I was saving screenshots of the radar and satellite images of the storm, and I’m really glad I did. The bottom right is the image that was on the cover of New York magazine.
I love Project Life for giving me an obvious place to save things like wedding invitations. Samantha and Andy’s was really simple and pretty.
The back of the first insert has my boarding passes from our flight, and the save the date. I cut down a We R Memory Keepers page to be able to share some of my favorite photos. It was wayyyyy too hard to narrow it down to fewer photos from the wedding.
Close ups of the bride and groom and the happy couple with Dan’s parents.
All five siblings together, me and Dan, and Dave and Stefanie.
Needless to say, full page photo cut down to fit wins again. There was the most amazing sunset the night of the wedding itself and I kept sneaking away to get shots.
We were still really overwhelmed by the after-effects of Sandy during Week 24, which also included Election Day… but more importantly, an AWESOME bachelorette sleepover.
Saturday was such a fun day, and I love that the girls put together an invite for our sleepover.
We may have spent most of the night eating cheeseballs and talking (and talking and talking), but we did remember to take some photos of all of us together, too.
Week 25 was almost back to normal (although our engagement photo session that Saturday was certainly a Noteworthy Occasion).
Skyfall was SO good. Also: one of our first RSVPs to arrive!
I used a Design H insert for the sneak peak photos we just got from our engagement photo session with Liesl from Photo Pink. It was such a fun day, and we’re SO jazzed with how the photos turned out.
The back of the insert: more engagement shots.
This page includes photos I took the day of our photo session. (I can’t tell you how hard it was to be in such a photogenic neighborhood and NOT have my camera with me and out. It was REALLY hard. Even Dan said that he knew I must have been going nuts because even HE kept noticing cool photo ops.) Here I included a few of my newest stamps from Elise‘s shop.
And week 26 was Thanksgiving! (Which I don’t have a lot of photos from, so I had to fill in some blanks with photoshopped text cards)
I love how the leaf photo from last week shows through the overlay here. I was glad to have one of the Thankful cards that Design Editor posted. I don’t normally write out what I’m thankful for, but it was great to do it this year.
And to round it out: a photo of my glorious ten-color rainbow manicure, the first bokeh of the season, the amazing leftovers sandwich I ate on Saturday, and the Stallion (aka the limo the cousins used when we went out on Saturday night)!
omg, i LOVE the engagement pics!!!!!!
