Can you tell that I am not very busy at work right now? I spent half of the day sketching out Project Life layouts. I only could recommend to do the same for anyone else!

Henry run into the nursery this morning and later when I was living and Stefi was coming and he decided it was time for him to go, Henry cried “no home, no home” eyes filled with fear we would take him home; he was half way hiding from us to escape going home:-)

On the photo – Henry’s art. He first painted the background orange and then painted “big tree” in black

Project Life freebie: an 8 frames template

I found myself over the last couple of weeks having way too much photos and I didn’t feel like I could possible not include them. But even though I was keen to keep them their quality some times wasn’t the greatest so printing them 6×4 and in large numbers (extra 5-8 photos a week) wasn’t very appealing to me.

Tonight I found a solution! Firstly I had to learn how to create templates in PSE, though :-)

So, I came up with a template for 8 square photos on a 6×4 photo sheet and there is enough space for journaling in the middle. In my example of how it looks I’ve used two free fonts. Both of them I’ve downloaded from dafont.com. It’s Another Typewriter and Arsenale White for the hand written bit.

Here is  the link to the download. I’ve created the template using Photoshop Elements 9.

First day in the new Russian day school/nursery was a great success. even though it was all in Russian Henry had his biggest improvement in English. On the way home he said, and I quote: “I like kindergaten” and five minutes later ” I am tired, I want sleep”

On Saturday Henry suddenly called George “Brother George”  in Russian (he must have learned it in the nursery that day as I never call George – brother).

All of us – me, George, Henry and Stefi, stayed in the nursery for only three hours. During this time Henry made cookies, painted, cut paper, played with his new friend Sasha (a very placid boy, so placid that he even calmed Henry a bit). George finger pained and played some other developmental games for a bit. It got too much quickly for George, so him and Stefi spent most of the time in a separate room where in peace and quite.

We are going there tomorrow again and this time there will be more children to get to know for Henry.

At the moment – I am very happy with how everything is working out.
