Project 365 - Week 44

Hello P365 friends.  Sorry I've been out of the game for so long.  My bi-polar has gotten worse over the last several weeks and now I'm in a partial day hospital program to learn how to deal with things better.  It's hard, but I'm learning things that will hopefully be helpful for a long time.

This is the image that I came up with to use as my "mantra" of sorts.  I printed them out & put them where I will see them when I'm struggling.

I haven't been taking many pictures, but I put together a sort of catch up post with some from the past weeks.

Oskar displays what the rest of us feel by refusing to leave the bed!

Wednesday, 10/11

Chloe longs to be an outside cat and is obviously jealous of Oskar.  I know he secretly loves her jealousy, lol.

Saturday, 10/12

I caught this bee on a flower & figure this is the last shot like this I'll get this year.

Thursday, 10/13

Oskar showing me his distaste for being woken up with the camera.

Homecoming for Jack & Alexis.  Isn't she tiny!

Thursday, 10/20

Chloe enjoying her nip toy.  She cracks me up.

Friday, 10/21

Oskar is happy that we got out his "personal space" heater.  How can you resist a schnauzer face.

Monday, 10/24

I took a pic of John David's door for a little contest that some of the pet blogs that I'm involved with are having.  He did this duct-tape treatment to his door about 3 years ago.

Friday, 10/28
Everyone is worn out from their week.  Naps for everyone!

If you haven't done it yet, you still have time to register for my Shutterfly Holiday card giveaway here.

For more Project 365 stop over & visit Sara.

I hope you all have a great week :)

Shutterfly Giveaway

Last year I discovered how awesome Shutterfly was for holiday cards.

You may know that my miniature schnauzer Oskar has his own blog, and for Valentine's day I got him some great cards to send to his female admirers.

We also ordered our holiday cards from Shutterfly last year and loved the way they turned out.  I have to mention how easy it was to order them & how quickly they got here.  They offer tons of different layout options for you to choose from, or else you can just follow one of their pre-made themes.

OK, so you already know I'm crazy about Oskar, so with one of Shutterfly's great coupon offers I ordered him some holiday cards for this year.  I really love the non-traditional style.

Shutterfly also has a great selection calendars, photo gifts & greeting cards.

Holiday Cards That Scream ME!

I love Shutterfly!  I ordered a book that turned out beautifully for my parents Christmas present.  I posted about that experience here.

Here's a photo of the book.  Aren't those babies adorable!

Here in Mimi-ville we celebrate Christmas & I love picing out the most beautiful card to send to people.  I'm thinking about ordering these:

Many Memories Tree Card

This card even allows another picture on the inside of the card.  I'm also considering this one.

Peace On Earth

Which one do you like better?

Shutterfly also offers stunning cards for Hanukkah or even Thanksgiving.

Shutterfly has high quality products and wonderful prices.  They really are nicer than many others I've gotten and right now Shutterfly is offering 20% off of all of their holiday cards.

Shutterfly Giveaway ~ Holiday Cards

While going through old photographs I started scanning them in to put them on disc.  Then I thought about my parents and my in-laws, who most likely would not watch a photo disc.  I had heard great things about Shutterfly from other bloggers, so I went off to try it.

Making my book with Shutterfly was easy and fun.  They offer tons of different layout options for you to choose, or else you can just follow one of their pre-made themes.

You just upload your photos, arrange them and Shutterfly does the rest.  About half way through making my first book, I had ideas for a million more.

You'll never guess what the subject of my first book was...

Of course I chose my boys as a Christmas gift for the grandparents!  I'm going to order another one to keep for myself.  This book is clear, crisp and beautiful.

Even the Shutterfly packing is beautiful!  Don't believe me?  See for yourself.



My next project is holiday cards.  If my kids were younger I would love to make some Halloween Invitations.  As it stands I will be ordering my Christmas Photo Cards sometime next week.  I'm even thinking ahead to March for Birthday Invitations!

Now, Shutterfly has offered me the chance to give away sets of 10 free 5x7 stationery cards to 3 different Screaming Mimi readers!

We're going to make this contest simple, here are the rules:

1.  Be a follower of Screaming Mimi
