January Photo a day! {2013}

This has been a whirlwind of a month!

January used to drag on for me.  But since I had Carson, it is a month spent trying to get ready for his birthday on February 2.

I'm still pondering what I'm going to to with my Photo a Day pics from last year.  Of course many of them are in my Project Life album.  But I'm going to make a special project with every picture of 2012!  Can't wait!

I kept all the pics organized in the my365 app so I could make sure I don't leave any out when I am choosing them all in instagram to make my project.  And if I screen shot the app, I can get 2 layouts with all the pics from each month which is handy!

Many more friends have joined me this year with #fmsphotoaday, and I am loving seeing everyone's pictures each day!  I think it's a great way to connect with friends.

And, I love that if I'm not feeling the word of the day for whatever reason, I just change it to fit what works for me.  It is surprising though how many of the prompts work out perfectly for whatever I'm doing that day....

October Photo A Day! {2012}

31 more pictures....

It has been a whirlwind of a month...

I had {2} girls weekends planned IN A ROW!

 

The first, was Tara's BIG 40th celebration.

We went to dinner that evening, and had a great meal. ;)

I'm all about the food.

 

Tara and me...

The next weekend, I went with my sister-in-laws to Rogers, AR for some shopping and fun!

I was a little excited about this pic of this cool store front.  So. fun.

 

And the last weekend in Oct was all about being at home and relaxing.

 

We even made Star Wars pancakes!

 

Of course, we ended the month with Halloween and our own little Darth Vader...

 

I'm linking up at A Night Owl Blog and Little Inspiration.

august photo a day!!

Well, I have made it through August taking one picture a day for this entire year so far!!

I am so proud of myself......  I've been thinking of some projects to do with all the pics from the year.
Hopefully, I'll follow through on that also. ;)

Lots of memories were made this month.  I am especially happy that with this challenge, I am getting many everyday memories. 

And I am constantly reminding myself...

Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful...

 

 

 

april photo-a-day challenge

I am happy to report that for FOUR months I have taken at least ONE picture every day! 
Using my iphone as a camera has made it EASY to do.

Some of my favorite memories include:

...........my weekend retreat to Blackberry Creek Retreat for a scrapbooking (project life) get away.

...........my trip to see Beth Moore in KC and getting to visit Anthropologie!

...........getting a great new Bible for Carson.

...........my first PEDICURE of the summer!! YAY!

...........and a birthday dinner with my mom and dad.



This month has absolutely flown by, and I'm eagerly awaiting the end of May.  I am so ready to be out of school and on the BEACH!  Those pics a day will be FUN to take. :)

I'm linking up with House of Smiths and Pefect Imperfections!

{march} photo-a-day wrap up

I am still loving taking a photo a day!  I feel like it's helping me to record more of the everyday events that I don't always think to record. 

As I look back through all the pics, I'm overwhelmed at how much happens each month.  NO wonder time goes by so quickly! 

My plan is to use all of these pics at the end of the year to make an instagram poster!  I can't wait. 
I think it will be a great piece of art in our home for 2012 memories!!!

January: photo a day {my365}

January is over...... 1/12 of 2012 is done.
