Photo A Day Challenge

I did it! Finished the photo a day for the entire month of May.

Woo hoo.

I've started it before, but fizzled out after the first 10 days or so.

What was different this month? I think this app helped a lot. It's called Collect. You get a monthly view of a calendar and can save a photo for each day. It made it so easy to see which days I missed, so I could fill those days in.

Yes, I don't always take the photo on the same day as the prompt. And for me, that's okay.

My only complaint is that when I took a screen shot of the completed month, the image quality is too poor to expand its size for this blog post. But maybe there is another way for me to save the image that would work better. I'll have to play around with it some more!

Wanna see the images in better quality? Just go to Instagram. I'm luckypennylov (yes, no "e" at the end....long story).





Wanna join in for June? Here are the prompts provided by Chantelle @ FatMumSlim. You can even check out her blog for more info.

You should do it!

Photo A Day March

OK. I'm gonna do it.

Pinkie promise swear.

I have attempted the Photo a Day idea before (see Chantelle @ Fat Mum Slim for details). But I only make it through a few days and then I quit. Well, truthfully, I forget for a week or so, then get frustrated and quit.

But every month, when she posts her list, I totally want to join in. I love the idea of creatively twisting the prompts. And taking a photo every day.

So, starting tomorrow, I'm totally gonna give it another try.

How about you guys? Have you ever participated in this or any other photo a day project? How do you stay on track? I need help, peoples!!

Photo A Day July (8-14)



Wanted to share this week's progress on Photo a Day July. It helps to keep me accountable. Not that I have 7 photos to share. I don't. But I do have 4.

Lunch.
My girls had a sleepover and wanted to go do something fun today. They decided to go to this indoor playground, and out to lunch. After offering "anyplace you want" they decided on Olive Garden. I didn't have the heart to say no at that point, so off we went. And isn't it interesting how much i-phones and i-touches have become such a part of our lives. Like all the time?



Big
As in, how did my kids get this big? And the blond in the blue shirt is not one that I gave birth to. She is my oldest boy's fiancee. I mean really, how could that be? And now my 4 will one day be 5.



Favorite color
Really? Who can pick just one? I can't! So I picked all these colors for my desk redo. Want more details? Just click here.



Open
Talk about your wide open spaces. This is about as open as it gets. This summer I'm not feeling love for the desert I live in. Would like to see some green. Like they have in Boston. Or Seattle. Or California. Or lots of places that are not here.

Have any photos to share with me? Send me a link

Photo a Day July (1-7)

OK. Not gonna lie. I'm having a rough time doing this. Only took 2 photos the first week. The 3rd is a cheat. The self-portrait is from Palm Springs a few weeks ago, but I love it so much that I wanted to use it.

Self Portrait

Busy
 (working on blog posts, a very frequent task but one I love)

On the floor
 (came home to this mess. Daisy got her collar stuck on the loop of a small tray table. When she tried to break free, the tray and all it's breakable contents fell.  Yes, that is Elvis the Elk on the floor. I'm sad. But I couldn't be mad because we found Daisy trapped under another table, with the legs still stuck on her collar. And she was very scared.Poor girl!)

Now just because I missed a few days this week does not mean that I will be giving up on this project. I will just continue on. I mean, 3 photos are better than none, right?

Photo A Day (July)

I'm going to try something new, and I thought you might like to join me.



I've seen a few lists for taking a photo a day. This is the one I decided to try. It includes a prompt for each day of the month. I tried Project 365 a few years ago, but only lasted about 3 weeks. It's a project to take 1 photo every day for a year. I just ran out of ideas and then conviently started forgetting to take a photo, for an entire week, then I quit. I think the idea of having a prompt could be quite useful. So, let me know if you decide to join me. See fat mum slim for more details.

And remember tomorrow is July 1st. Here's to a brand new month full of possibilities!
