Project Life / 52 / 365...2nd set of prompts

So...how was your first full week of 2012?  I have been reveling in having my hubby in town - normally, he travels 5+ days each week so it has been SUCH a blessing to have him home during the holidays.

I saw several amazing LOs for the various "Projects" that everyone is taking on this year....  You can see some of Yvonne's GORGEOUS family & pages HERE SO very grateful to have such talented and beautiful people playing along with me...guess I need to post a few of my LOs, too, right??

It's been a week of ups & downs for me - celebrating the return of a dear friend's soldier son (YAY!) and hearing of the heartbreaking loss of a child to cancer for some grade school friends...praying for peace for them....

Before I get all sappy, here are your prompts for this week:

  1. The place you were born
  2. Breakfast & togetherness
  3. List the first 10 things that come to mind about the last 24 hours

    Can't wait to see what you come up with!!

Happy New Year!  Hope that 2012 will be the best year yet for you and yours. I'm planning on making some small but (hopefully) meaningful changes this year.

One of these changes includes starting and finishing some sort of Project Life/Project 365/52 series so that I have this nifty set of LOs ready to be printed in a cool 2012 book at year's end...instead of 20 gigs of unsorted, unedited pictures, a stash of awesome digi products sitting unused, and a wad of guilt over not "getting it done!"

So - with that off my chest - I am thrilled that you have chosen to join me on my little adventure.  Each Sunday (at roughly 12:30am Eastern), I'll post that week's prompts.  These will be "meaty" enough that you could use them in several different ways.  There will be "all about ME" prompts along with some that are meant to provoke some thought & maybe even some interesting photos.

Whether you're doing a book about you ('cause we always scrap about other people, ya know?), you want some out of the box ideas to create some different LOs, or if you just want a place to be encouraged & inspired as we chug along in our creative endeavors, you're in the right place.

Let's get started!  Here are your prompts for Week 1 - January 1-7:

Pick one, or some, or all.  You can post your LOs at our FaceBook Page HERE

1.  Tell about the day you were born.
2.  Creativity is curiosity explored....what are you curious about?
3.  How did you choose your children's or pet's names?

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

PS - if you need some fabulous digi supplies to do this project, check out all the amazing goodness that can be found at my fave digi site on the planet:  JessicaSprague.com  Jessica teamed up with Becky Higgens to offer a digital version of Project Life.  There are templates, digital kits & all sorts of fun stuff there to make this easier for you.

Hello everybody!  Hope your Christmas or Hanukkah celebration was awesome and that you are gearing up for a fabulous 2012.

The incredible Jessica Sprague has teamed up with Becky Higgins to offer a digital Project Life - I know, I squealed when I heard it, too!

I have some friends who did Project Life in paper form...and it is an amazing album when you're all done.

CLICK HERE to go to the page to see all the digi loveliness.....I think the Cobalt collection may be my favorite....but that changes daily.

The whole Project life concept just calls to me - I love the idea of capturing the everyday and  I was struggling with what to do about this album.....P365 is just too structured and kinda kills the joy of creating for me....so I thought about committing to a p52 - one LO per week using as many (or as few) pictures as I needed to get the job done.  Of course, special events might get their own LOs, but I love the flexibility (and lack of pressure that this approach provides).

So - anybody else up for it?  I have this fabulous list of prompts that have several ideas for each week - in fact, you *could* turn this list into a P365 if you were super-motivated.

Here's the scoop:

I'll post the prompts each Sunday (starting on Jan 1st) and I'll have a FaceBook Group that you can post your LOs, etc. to as well.

Hope to see you there!
