Project Life | Week Forty-Four

Welcome to Project Life | Week Forty-Three.
Did you guys catch the really awesome comprehensive post from Lisa about how she tackles Project Life? A whole lot of work went into that explanation. Fun seeing other people's process and ideas.
Lots of inserts this week. It was a full week with family and friends here for the duration + Halloween + my birthday + a weekend at the coast.
Simon brought home a great little award for asking for help (one of his goals). Love those things.
I just cut the top off of a 6x12 page protector to fit the award.
A birthday card fit in the back.
My second insert is a 6x12 divided page protector that holds photos and a piece of a treat bag that my Mom brought for all the kids on Halloween.
Still loving that size as an insert.
One of my favorite pieces from the week is the pirate head/pumpkin that Simon drew and stuck on the door for Halloween. Just awesome.
On the back is my other favorite - Anna's shark drawing from school.
Chris went with Simon on a field trip to a fish hatchery and Simon sent me an email via Chris' phone. Also gotta love the neon red/pink paper for the field trip info.
I'm also a big fan of the bottom left photo of Simon eating tempura when we were at the beach. He's eating a sweet onion in this photo (he ate two of them and a piece of salmon).
Man I love these little stories. Such good stuff.

Hi Ali,
my main question to tackle this type of project will refer to the printing efforts. Thanks for sharing these wonderful posts.
Do you print the photos yourself? Do you send them to be printed in batches? and ultimately what sizes do you print and in what proportion, in other words so many 4x6 so many of that ... 3x3 ?

Hi - I do print these photos myself. I'm currently using an Epson Stylus Photo R2000 - it's an oversize printer that can also hold 4x6 paper. I've been really happy with the quality. I started the year off with my HP Photosmart B8550 which is also a great printer and has a tray dedicated to 4x6. Both have worked great for me over the year. I've always printed more at home - I think it's partly because this is my work that I've really liked having it ready to go when I need it vs. uploading and printing. I've always been happy when I did do that with the quality but it's just not built into my process.
