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.

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!
Tina
