Weekly Update

1/6/2018

I'm really enjoying this challenge! It has "forced" me to pick up my camera again, I hadn't realized how much I had missed it. I look at it every day. Some days it's a glance, a quick check-in to make sure it's still in its spot on my dresser. Other days it's a wistful longing, wishing I could pack a lunch, a spare battery, maybe a few blank SD cards, and just see where my camera leads me. At the end of this year, I'm sure I will have improved my knowledge and hopefully my ability -- a win-win!
My plan is to post each Saturday, so here are days three through six.

Day 3: Snack

Day 4: Favorite Place

The struggle is real, people!!

This was a tough one. Truthfully, my favorite place is anywhere I can be with my family. The next best place is anywhere I can be creative. Since my craft room is embarrassingly messy at the moment, this is the table where I paint.

Day 5: Vintage

I threatened to just take a selfie for this one. Ha! This is an aluminum wall tree that my mother bought many, many years ago. The box still has the tag on it -- she paid a whopping $1.25. This tree and a blue bottle brush tree, which my mother also bought, are essential to Christmas for me. Once they are in place, everything else just feels right.

Day 6: Music

I don't play guitar -- or any other instrument -- though I have always loved music. This guitar is special to me because both my daughter and husband have used it to fill our home with music.

New Year, New Challenge

The gauntlet has been thrown, the challenge accepted! My lovely daughter has asked me (called me out?) to join her in a photography challenge. She has done all the planning and legwork, all I really have to do is follow the prompts, which she found and organized, take a picture each day for 365 days (beginning yesterday), and post the pictures here.
That doesn't sound too difficult, but truth be told, I have attempted this on my own a couple of times in the past. I believe this time will be different and I will complete the task at hand. I have never had prompts to follow before and that should really help. Also, I have my favorite creative partner to check in daily and keep me going. You can check out her progress here: https://runcrastinator.blogspot.com/2018/01/365-days-of-photos.html
We'd love to have you join the fun!

Day 1: Resolution

Day 2: Warm
