Project 365

This year, I'm doing something I've always wanted to do, but have never actually done: a 365 photo project. The idea is to take a picture a day every day for a year. In order to make it easier I guess you could say, I'm going to do a different theme each day of the week. the following are my themes:

Monday-family game night

Tuesday-self portrait (this one will have a double purpose. I've been working to lose weight for several months now, and I still have a long way to go. When I just look at myself in the mirror, I don't really notice a difference, but when I look at pictures I can tell. I'm always like OK, so I'm still a lardo, but at least I look better than I did! So by doing a self portrait every week, I will be able to track my weight loss progress while at the same time having a weekly theme for my 365 project!)

Wednesday-Connor

Thursday-both boys together in the same chair. It will be so interesting to see how they each have changed and grown each week thru the year.

Friday-craft project where i take a picture of whatever craft project I am working on. I typically give away everything I make, so it will be fun to be able to look back on all the different things I have done thru the year. We do a lot of home improvement projects, too, so every once in awhile my Friday picture will be something we are working on at the house. I think that should count as a craft project :)

Saturday-Beckley (or whatever city I may be in that week) we always go toBeckley for one thing or another on Saturday. i know there will be some weeks thru the year where we are somewhere else, on vacation or such, so I'm going to dedicate Saturdays to taking a picture of some place in whatever town I'm in.

Sunday-Hudson

I'm really looking forward to completing this project! I hope I don't miss any days and end the year with a full set of 365 pictures. I'm sure i will miss a day at times, but even when that happens, I'll keep on trucking the next day! At the end of the year, I think I will make a scrapbook of the pictures. Each day of the week will have it's own layout. I know there will be pictures I just don't like, so I'm sure I won't scrap each and every picture. I do think at the end, this will make an interesting scrapbook!

I have never been very good at keeping up with this blog, but I plan on tracking the project here. I hope you all have as much fun following my progress as I will have completing the project!
