Project 365 – Complete!

I DID IT! I completed my project 365!!  I have to admit that there were a few days where it was a challenge to remember to take a picture or to think of something I haven’t taken a picture of 10x already.   It’s pretty cool to look back on all of these pictures and see where this year has taken me.  There are so many little, yet wonderful, things that happen during the year and these pictures help me remember it all.  I’m proud of myself for keeping up with it throughout this year.  Now I just have to make a book with all of the pictures next time I see a good deal online. 

 

Would I do it again?  Absolutely.  I probably will wait another year or two before doing it again, but it was a great and easy way to document my family and our life over the past year.  Maybe in another year I’ll attempt Project Life, but for now I’m giving myself a year off :)

 

 

 

 

 

The Half Way Mark

In the words of Bon Jovi….. Whooah, we’re half way there.  6 months of project 365. ::pats self on back::  I was so worried about making it 1 month with this project, yet here I am half a year later and going strong.  I already see so much of a difference in both myself and Anthony looking back on our January pictures.  It’s amazing.

Here’s a slideshow of the last 6 months.  Looking forward to see what the next 6 months brings.

A Quarter Closer

Usually I dread the end of the quarter.  It’s a crazy time at work (more so than usual) and is filled with deadlines, meetings and a sprinkle of panic.

But as March passes me by I’m proud that I’ve kept up with Project 365.  I feel that my photography is growing and I’m not as stumped for pictures each day as I thought I might.  I decided that for just the month of April I’ve added another layer to the mix and am participating in April’s picture of the day.  So much fun so far!

February...check!

Another month of project 365 is done.  Given how crazy busy I’ve been I am very proud of myself for not missing a day or even faking a day by using one from another day (I did think about it though).

Only 10 more months to go!

p.s. I know I haven’t posed much this past month.  It’s been a pretty insane month at work.  I promise I’ll be back soon.

Project 365

After hearing so much about it and watching a few friends complete it last year, I decided to take on Project 365 this year.  I try not to attempt too many projects, as I tend to overextend myself, but I really loved the idea of this.   The last scrapbook I did was for A’s first year but these pictures don’t necessarily have to be of A, which is a big part of what I liked.  When I’m done it will be simply 365 days of our life.  documented.  I just hope I can continue to come up with creative ideas for pictures each day and don’t run out of ideas by March.  I’m also not going crazy with carrying my camera with me every day – I’ll take pictures with both my iphone and my camera, whichever I have with me at the time.

If you’ve completed Project 365 I’d love to hear from you and any tips you may have for staying motivated.
