Default All About Me Challenge Master List ***Updated Dec. 2012***

***Updated: December 5, 2011 and getting ready for a new year.

I've had a couple of requests for a master list of the All About Me Challenges, so here they are. There are 14 as of today and I'll try to remember to update the list as we go along.

And you can always find all the blog posts by clicking on the All About Me category on the blog if you want to read more about the challenges or see the inspiration pages.

The challenges are:

1. Me now
2. How I got here
3. Things that make me smile
4. When I was your age
5. A day in my life
6. I am so good
7. What's in my purse
8. What Mom means to me
9. Things that make me sad
10. My best friend
11. Yummy things
12. What's in a name
13. The music of my life
14. I believe
15. My style
16. Right now
17. My books
18. If I could do anything
19. Why I love scrapbooking
20. I always wanted to be
21. I am so grateful for
22. The joy of the holiday season
23. Day in the life (one year or one month later on the same day)
24. My goal is
25. How I met you (your spouse, best friend, etc...)
26. My favorite shopping experience (or store)
27. My hometown
28. Mother's Day
29. My favorite vacation
30. I am quirky because
31. What frustrates me
32. Out of my comfort zone
33. How technology has changed my life
34. I am grateful for

And I'm always up for requests, too! I got a bunch of great ideas at the last quarterly AAM chat, but feel free to let me know if you have other ideas. We still have almost half a year and I expect we'll keep this challenge going after that, too, so I'll keep a file of all the ideas.

Thanks so much Steph. I decided I was going to balance the AAMs with all the travel albums I have in my head. Now I have something concrete to get me going.

As a newb, what exactly are the All About Me Challenges? Just inspiration for pages about ourselves (which I love) or is it more than that?

Hi! Great question! The AAM Challenge is posted every other Tuesday and is a series of prompts for layouts about you - just like you thought! I have the challenges organized a bit so that we can make them into a book at the end of the year but really, you can do them in whatever order you want! The 1st AAM Challenge explains it a bit more.

And you can always find all of the challenges in the All About Me Category Tab on the DesignerDigitals blog.

Thanks Steph
This is the only time I feel comfortable creating a page just about me.. this is the perfect way to document traits, feelings etc about ourselves... thank you for the list as well, I've only done two so far, but am aiming to catch up and finish them all..
