project 365...

i am super excited about this project!

i'm doing Project 365 this year... a picture a day every day for the next year.

here's the concept from Becky Higgin's blog:

"It’s a simple idea, really. Perhaps you have heard of this before. Maybe you’ve even done this yourself. Preserve a piece of your life every day this year. Can you imagine the end result? Really – I want you to imagine it. What an awesome representation of your existence.

A note to the scrapbooker: Project 365 is not another scrapbooking project to add to my list. Rather, this is actually replacing my traditional way of scrapbooking for the past 15 years. This is truly revolutionary for me as a scrapbook artist and family historian.

If you’re like me, there has always been so much focus on events, trips, and “favorite” pictures. But what about all the in between stuff? The everyday stuff that really is our LIFE? The pictures we take around the house “just because”? What happens to all of that? THIS IS IT. This is how we show a truer representation of our life … and, of course, the “big” stuff too!

A note to the non-scrapbooker: I can’t think of a better way for you to get a scrapbook without actually scrapbooking! Are you excited!? Do you get it? You literally are slipping things into page protectors. That’s it! Could it be any easier?

This is fantastic for anyone – male or female, adult or child, single or married. Never touched scrapooking in your life before? No problem. No skills needed. Seriously. Oh, except the ability to slip things into page protectors. Can you handle that?

Back to everyone: I tried this concept of taking a picture every day last year. After being frustrated with not being able to find the perfect way to store and display my photos, I knew this would be the next kit I wanted to develop! The Project 365 kit is custom to highlighting a week at a time for a full year.

Getting involved in this project will make you even more aware of your blessings, your priorities, and your surroundings. Don’t think you do anything worthy of photographing? Think again. What you think is mundane and ordinary is actually a collection of very cool & unique factors of your life. Not someone else. YOU.

Still think you’re life isn’t worth recording? Then let this project be the motivating factor to get out there and do something! Go for a walk (with your camera). Host a dinner party. Fly a kite. Try a new restaurant. Re-decorate a room.

Like I said, this is revolutionizing the way I scrapbook and already feel so liberated with this new approach to preserving and recording my family’s life. Are you with me?"

my goal in this... i want to document my life in pictures. at this point, i am not planning on putting everything in an album- mainly just for this blog. but i want to remember the little things in my life... the things that make me... me!

i really hope to take a picture everyday, but posting my not end up that way. i will figure that part out along the way! :)

life will be divine... in 2009!
