how good am i? it's the third day of the new year … and i'm caught up on my project 365 photos. i know that sounds a little crazy … being so excited about the first 3 days. lol! but for me, it's a great start. and yes, i was lucky enough to get my kit ordered. i know it was crazy that day … and i really feel bad for those of you that weren't able to get a kit. hopefully, they'll be able to come up with more kits and straighten all of this out. so here we go … my photos for week one!

day 1 … january 1st. i knew this would be my shot for the day. my computer screen as i was trying to order my kit. i was up bright and early so that i'd be ready as soon as it went up for sale. and i'm glad i was. i had screens open left and right … and spent 40 minutes trying, before i actually got my order placed. a bit stressful … but so worth it. and i'm grateful that i was able to get my order through.

day 2 … january 2nd. a shot of my scrap island right now … actually, just a quarter of it. i have so many projects going on right now … it's a bit crazy. working on lots of CHA stuff right now … think i have it pretty well hidden in this picture. sorry … no peeks yet!

January_3_resize 

day 3 … january 3rd. a typical saturday around here … lots of cleaning and laundry. today we did even more cleaning than usual … entire house top to bottom. not the funnest way to spend our saturday … but it has to be done.

i think saturday is going to be perfect for sharing these. i usually have a bit more time on saturday to catch up on things. so i can edit and post the pics … and place a small order all at once … and then pick up the photos sunday morning. and the great thing is that by taking my camera out to take these pics … i ended up taking even more everyday shots around the house. that's something i'm not always good at … so i think this is going to be good in so many ways!

    Well, I THINK I have the kit ordered, but from what I’m reading about all of the problems, I guess I’ll believe it when I see it. I have picts for days 1 and 2. Day 2 was supposed to be of the front of our house and cars that got TP’d! I got up when I heard the news, but it was too dark to photograph. And, then Erika FORGOT to take a pict before she cleaned it up…DARN IT! But, I did get a couple of other picts that will work. I still need to take one tonight as I haven’t done it yet. This is going to be more challenging than I thought!

    It makes me feel better about doing projects when my whole house is clean. (no guilt)
    How do you like the slice? I have a cricut and this looks better.
    Good Luck with your 365 project

    Good on you for keeping up with your 365 day project. I thought I might do and adapted version of this(I was one of the ones who missed out on the kit) as I know there is no way I will keep it up for a whole year, thought maybe just a few shots a week instead of 7. It’s a terrific way to keep track of what goes on in our lives. Have fun doing it.

    I’ve been taking my pictures too unfortunely I was one of the unlucky ones that wasn’t able to get a kit – tried for 2 hours – oh well hopefully there will be another opportunity. I’m going to keep taking pictures. You are an inspiration – I enjoy seeing your layouts.

    Hey, I see that slice there…do you know anyone around here who sells the school/fall cart? I looked at Bevs and M’s, and they don’t have it! I actually played with mine yesterday and cut out some cute butterflies and other stuff…fun!

    Hey Laura! Love those first few days of photos, my house hasn’t seen my mop in a while, LOL! Your scrapbook room looks cool, how do you like the slice, is it similar to the cricut machine??
    My picture today was of our deck and patio furniture (which should have been put away) COVERED with about 15 cm of snow, even the railings of the deck are covered, I said to Kelsey, that would make a cool picture of the day! Anyway, glad you;re caught up and getting your house in shape, can you come do mine?? lol! Happy Sunday! I have two hours, then head for Kelsey’s hockey for two hours, yeesh, I guess we’re back to the swing of the school and activity routine!

    I was one of the lucky ones and I too got a Project 365 kit. I sat on the computer for a while but it finally went through. I have my pictures and tomorrow I am going to write down the first few days so I can remember what has been happening. They said the kits should ship out on Tuesday. I can’t wait:)

    Best of luck with Project 365! I LOVE the idea and much like you, I believe it will take the pressure off when it comes to capturing the little things we so often miss or don’t get around to documenting. Although I didn’t get a kit, I’m not going to let that stop me. I plan to use the process as a gratitude journal. This will also help me with one of my resolutions…appreciating the little things. I can’t wait to follow along with you! As always, I love your work! Happy New Year! Lisa H.

    OK – so I guess you started with January 1, and not the Sunday before (December 28). Are you doing your weeks Thursday – Thursday since January 1 was a Thursday?
