As I was going through the gallery today I realized that the 365 days layouts have started jumping out at me. There are so many people doing this challenge but I've seen comments about fear, time, ect stopping others from trying. Then I see layouts that are just off the page fantastic and catch myself thinking, "that is so much better than mine".
Reminding to self: This is NOT a contest! This is a CHALLENGE! A challenge is something to have fun with. This one is a long one and in the end we will each have an amazing collection of photos/journaling to be proud of no matter what format it is in. I would so love to do a "journal" of my kids like a lot of the others here are doing. Wouldn't that be fantastic to have an every day journal of an entire year of their lives?! However, an entire book of a little white dog and his mohawk clad buddy just wouldn't cut it for me. This book can be a journal of your family, a journal of your thoughts, a journal of photos, etc. If you've never done a big project like this and are afraid of the "pic a day" thing then make it a "pic a week" maybe. So many options.
The December Days challenge was my first big challenge and I'm telling you I saw the usually stressful month of December in a whole new way by participating in that challenge. I had the best December I've had in years because of it. Who knew just taking pictures to document the month could make such a difference.
Ok, I could go on and on (as some of you know). But, I really just wanted to encourage you to maybe take up this challenge in your own way. Remember it's not a contest! It's a challenge.
