UPDATE: Still snow on the ground, but now no heat!
Our house is only 1 1/2 years old and our heating zone for upstairs is not working. It’s been day 2 now and we are still waiting for a new circuit board (We have geo heating). I was stressed out and had an upset stomach all yesterday because the repair person thought the warranty on that was up after a year (and I just put a deposit on that hot tub from the other post
) Anyway, good news is the board is covered, but not the service @ $75/hr.
Scrap update:
After 3 weeks of travel in the last 4 1/2 weeks, I can’t tell you how glad it was to finally be home. But long absences like that mean you have alot of mundane home chores to catch up on.

I used my Studio Calico Project Life Kit and the Simple Stories “Oh Sn@p” journal pieces. In the bottom right of the first page you will see my most favorite Chrismas present: My mom bought me house cleaning once a month for the year…best prez ever!
Note the top right (on the right side)…yup. Back on a diet and exercise regime. I think I’ll do a post next week about my personal likes and dislikes. I imagine now (like many people), the new year’s resolutions have been sorely tested.
Not only did I highlight my SC monthly kit, but i aso included the fun little scrap kit I won (see previous blog post)
Again, using as much of my stamps in my aresenal as i can. These include some Studio Calico, Amy Tangerine, Ali Edwards and some so old I don’t know who even made them.
I think the most fun of Project Life for me has been digging through my stash and using up those few stickers that are left on a sheet, or odd embelishments from here and there.
Here’s some closeups:




I really like the details you are including. That Home Sweet Home card is especially cute.
My motto yesterday was, “It’s always something.” LOL! It seems like wherever I turned, there was something that needed to be fixed, redone, etc. Sounds like it’s reached your house too, Laura. I hope the heat gets fixed quickly and easily!
sorry you have been so stressed over it. I get the same way! But it’s one of the reasons I started yoga. to relax (lol) it gets harder and harder some days though!
Great PL pages! I love all the little extras you put in like the magazine cover. I really need to document that, too!
Oh, I tried yoga. They said “hold it…10….9….8….7….6″ and I said 54321 next? Lol. I need to work in my patience a bit.
Hope you get your heat back soon! Love your PL pages. I love how you added the time magazine cover.
I love your layouts!! Love the everyday moments you captured! Love those snap papers!
Hope your heat gets fixed soon, that’s awful! Love the project life though, looking great!
I love you PL pages and I think it is so cool how you included the Time Magazine picture of the pope on there.
Love love love the things you are documenting and it looks great! Great inspiration.
I hope you get the upstairs heat fixed soon! I just love your Project Life and all that’s going on in your layouts! It really looks great!
Hope you get the heat working soon! Love your PL page especially the today and the home card!
I wish I could send you some heat! I hate being cold.
Your pages are always so interesting to look at.
Glad your circut board is still under warranty. I thought there was a 5 yr home owners warranty for a newly built home..I remember ours had one.
You pages are always so full and so much to see
We’ve had three new houses in our lifetime and we’ve only ever had a one year builder warranty plus whatever mfg warranty there is. The heating unit has 1 year in some parts, 3,5, etc on other parts.
