A Day In the Life of...

This is a blog dedicated to my Project 365. I challenge myself (and anyone who wants to join me) to take a photo a day and use these daily photos to document their year. I will start on Jan 1st 2010. And I will digitally scrapbook each week.

I am also using this blog as a way to keep in touch with family and friends around the world as this is the year we finally head back to the states after living overseas for 14 years.

Get Ready, Set, GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cameras are charged, and the first picture of 365 is tomorrow!! Get ready tonight!

Of course, some days, you just really don't know what to take a picture of. For those days, I have a calendar of ideas! Every month, I'll have a new calendar for you! Of couse, being Blogger ignorant, I have no idea how to attach a .doc file to a post...or if it's possible.  So, if you'd like it, just email me and I'll email it to you!

And please, if you are doing your own Project 365, leave me a comment or email me with a link to your pic so I can see what you're doing!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Project 365 Basics

Alright - for those of you who are interested, but not quite sure what a Project 365 is, I'll try and outline it for you...

*Main Idea - journal your everyday life EVERY DAY for the year using a pic a day.

*Taking the Pictures - you can choose to take random shots that happen during the day, or stage your shots. Either way, have fun with it! Some people use a Project 365 to improve the photography skills. Me, I just want to take a picture a day!

*Using the Pictures - remember, these pictures are a sort of journal of your daily life. If it helps, keep a diary/journal of notes on the pics so you remember what they are about. Personally, I will be creating a double page scrapbook layout (using Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio) at the end of each week so the journaling will be fresh in my mind as to what happened that day. I will also post my daily pic here on this blog. At the end of each week, when I've done my double page layout, I will post a pic of that as well.

*Go at Your Own Pace - if you are new to the Project 365 concept, take it easy! And remember, if you miss a day of pictures, that's ok! Don't give up! One day out of 365 is not going to ruin the year, right?

*HAVE FUN!!! - Most of all, have fun...think of this as a diary in pictures...but not so personal. ;)

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them! I can't wait to start! (And, I'm hoping that I'll get a new camera by the end of the year...this picture a day thing will go far in my argument that I need a new one! LOL!!!!)

Check back tomorrow for a calendar of ideas for pictures to take in January! Get your cameras charged and ready to go!

Have a Creative Day!

My Blog

Alright, I've jumped on the blog bandwagon. Mine will not be a fancy blog with lots of buttons. (In other words, I am pretty much blog world ignorant) Basically, I want to use this blog for 2 reasons:

1)My Project 365 (see first post, and another post with more details will come in a couple of days!)
2)To keep in touch with my family and friends around the world.


So, if you are a friend or family member, or if you are interested in Project 365 2010, subscribe! I will try my best to keep you up to date and smiling!

Starting Early

I decided that I wanted to do a Project 365, so I am starting early.

*1st step - create a blog
*2nd step - wait until Jan 1st, 2010
*3rd step - take a picture everyday in 2010 and create weekly scrapbook layouts

So, this will probably stay quiet for a while, but starting Jan 1st, it will be hopping!
