So my sweet friend Stacy Julian, scrapbook visionary and inspiring little phenom that she is, is staging a cool blog blitz today, and baby, I'm in! Want to hear about it?
Well okay then… long story short: Stacy wants people to use scrapbooking as a way to live more fully in the present; in your life; in the moment of all this amazing stuff that makes up our existence.
Stacy believes that we scrapbookers spend a lot of time creating from stuff that has already happened, that sometimes, we forget to be here in the now. So she's got a fun challenge to share and I'm more than happy to both participate, and pass it on to you:
The Challenge
1. Take 10 photos of your life right now… today… no ands, ifs or buts. Grab that camera and document. All day today.
2. Compile these photos into a tiny little mini album.
3. Keep or carry this album with you (in a desk drawer, where you scrapbook or in your purse) for one year.
4. Promise to glance at it every time you stumble upon it or pull it from your purse.
5. On October 1, 2009, you will make a scrapbook page about this experience, but I can't tell you exactly what that page will be about. You'll have to check back with Stacy in one year for the final piece of the puzzle.
So that, blog readers, is a way to give yourself the Present. Want to see mine?
So what I did, was shoot some from the same day, and fill in with shots that represented my life right now. Cool huh?
So you have been challenged! And to help some of you get started, I have 10 Bazzill Mono Mini albums to send out to get you started. Leave your name in the comments, and I'll draw 10 winners tonight at around 9 p.m. CST.
Here's to the Present.
Happy October 1st, y'all.
Jana D says

Cathy, you and Stacy are goddesses. Anyway, on the total off chance that I win one of these (adorable, by the way) albums I’ll have to give my chance to some one else since we’ve moved to Dubai in the Middle East. (So my photos are a-gonna be cool, but shipping is atrocious!)
Thanks from a Pacific NW girl at heart!
Jan says

Kathleen says
What a great idea! What a great gift!
Kathleen
Leeanne O'Connor says
What a great idea i love it.
The thing I most focused on in your album is that someone in your household is reading the Twilight saga, which just happens to be my obsession at the moment. When I’m into something I’m REALLY into it and I’m really into Twilight right now. Mmmmm wonder what I will be obsessing over by this time next year. Something for me to think about.
cheers
Leeanne

Would love to win a mini…. feeling kind of lucky today. (Maybe should buy a lottery ticket…. although, need to make a resolution to actually CHECK the ticket instead of drive by the gas station to see that no one won it yet so, I don’t bother checking… BAD HABIT! Think I have a whole stack of them to check… silly me!)
Excited for class to start. Wish I wasn’t so darned busy this weekend…. it is our wedding weekend. Might have to fall behind on homework for a few days right off the bat.

OMG Cathy Z! I knew that we were on the same plane in a lot of things. I even look similar to you (my son saw your book on the table once and said, “Mom – how do you get into a book?!”). But seeing the picture of your Twilight books just solidified it! LOVE those stories. You can check the proof (both of the look-a-like status and my love of Twilight) on my blog at http://kissthelibrarian.wordpress.com.
I love what you do. Thanks!
Nancy says
i’m in. this reminds me of the cute little set-up of a misunderstanding in a Ramona Quimby children’s book when the kindergarten teacher tells Ramona to, “Sit here for the present.”

Great idea for an inspiration take-off. I rarely, if ever, take just some random shots of what is going around in our house. Was interested to see the Stephanie Meyer’s books in your photo.
