Project 365 has been around the photography world for several years, but has really taken the scrapping world by storm this year. The object is - take a picture a day for a year. Now, I'm a mom and a scrapper, you'd think I already did that. But believe it or not, there are days when I don't pick up the camera. But most of the time, I've been able to manage a picture a day, and an extra here and there to make up for any "missing" days.
I obviously won't be posting a picture to my blog everyday. I'm just not that organized. But periodically, as I finish them, I'll post my weekly layouts so you can see what types of photos we've been taking. Some photos will represent what we did that day. Some photos will represent something we do or use everyday. And some will just be cute things the kids do. I'm very interested in seeing how this looks when the year is finished.
Here we go!
JANUARY
I've decided to scrap my pictures in weekly layouts, with an additional monthly "cover sheet" so to speak. For January's monthly summary, I used close-ups of just part of the photo - kind of a teaser for what's to come. I used the larger photo blocks to spotlight some of the highlights of the month.
WEEK ONE
I'm following a Sunday to Saturday week, and 2009 started on a Thursday, so there are just 3 pictures for week one. This week's layout is a single pager, and will appear opposite the January summary page if I ever get this project printed or bound.
WEEK TWO
Starting with Week 2, my weekly layouts will be 2 pages. This week was a lot of everyday life shots - Squeegy hiding from the camera or playing with the dogs, an IM conversation between DH and Stringz, Giggles' Girl Scout patches, and Princess being cute.
WEEK THREE
Tuesday's photo is just Stringz standing by my desk, but the journaling is him explaining to me how they extracted the DNA from a strawberry in science lab that day. Giggles had a field trip to the aquarium with her Girl Scout troop, Saturday started Girl Scout Cookie season.
WEEK FOUR
Most of week 4's photos are everyday life - dinner, the fish, the cats - but it ended with my trip back to NH for my dad's 60th birthday. I was only able to back for the day, flying in Friday and home Sunday, but it was SO NICE to see family again. I can't wait until we can bring the kids back east again.
WEEK FIVE
This week we had an ice storm, our first dusting of snow, and Stringz became a teenager.

Wow..and you say your not organised!!! I have taken my photos but am way behind in scrapping them. I think that I will start doing weekly one, it sounds more doable to me. Thanks for the idea.
Thank you too for taking the time to leave kind words and sensible advice on my blog when I was stressing earlier this week. They were much appreciated!
