Give yourself the Present

October 1, 2008

Give yourself the Present

Tada

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.

    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!

    It’s a great idea! Lovin Ali E’s idea of “a week in the life” but this is so much more manageable!

  31. Suzitee says

    October 1, 2008 at 6:49 am

  36. Brookie J says

  37. Kathleen says

    October 1, 2008 at 6:57 am

  38. Leeanne O'Connor says

    October 1, 2008 at 6:57 am

    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

  57. Melissa says

    October 1, 2008 at 7:18 am

    Love this idea, but if it’s okay with Stacy, I think I’ll send my mini album to my husband who got deployed on Sunday. That way he can see a little of the ordinary everyday that he is missing. Thanks!

  58. *mel* says

    October 1, 2008 at 7:18 am

    Live in the present? Yeah – great! I can do that. Love the album. Crazy how quickly things change from day-to-day. Well worth documenting!

    Holy cuteness, Batman! That little book, and the little easel are just adorable. Sounds like an interesting idea. Since I’m also trying Ali’s Week in the Life project, I’ll have plenty of pictures for a little book on today as well.

    What a cute idea! You ladies are so darned clever!

    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.

  70. mel says

    October 1, 2008 at 7:27 am

    Your new banner is fun (yet again). I look forward to every new month to see what new tag-line you come up with.
    OK, I’ll make my mini. I’m already doing Ali’s challenge (a week in my life), your class that’s starting soon, so what’s one more challenge? Piece of cake, I say. Oh, and I like the shot of the scale.

  81. Karen says

    October 1, 2008 at 7:39 am

    October 1, 2008 at 7:53 am

    This sounds like a fabulous idea, and the timing couldn’t be more perfect as today is my old man’s 50th birthday!!! And that’s old man as in husband, as opposed to old man father.

  113. Stella says

    October 1, 2008 at 7:55 am

    oh! what a great idea! I am in the middle of moving across country (Philly to Phoenix) and have been taking photos of the things I love in Philly to remind me when I get homesick. This would be a great little book to use for those photos, to keep with me.

  114. pam says

    October 1, 2008 at 7:56 am

    What a fun idea! Who couldn’t make time for a quick snapshot album of their daily life? It will be SO interesting in the future…

    October 1, 2008 at 7:58 am

    I love this idea! Kind of like the Photo-a-Day theme I’ve seen a hundred times (and wanted to do each time), but on a smaller — and much more manageable — scale. My kind of project! Thanks for sharing!

  117. Laura says

    I LOVE this idea! We tend to focus on the big events in life but often fail to document the everyday moments. What a great way to capture the everyday. Now I’m wondering what Stacy has in mind for next year…

  180. Sara says

    October 1, 2008 at 8:45 am

    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!

  181. Nancy says

    October 1, 2008 at 8:47 am

    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.”
    now i can make a present for the present and the future.

  182. ColleenM says

  190. Marcia says

    October 1, 2008 at 8:55 am

  191. Janine says

  215. Donna Bell says

    October 1, 2008 at 9:07 am

    That is great Cathy! Thanks for being so generous. I think if I win an album, I would have my daughter scrapbook a day in the life of a junior high student. She is in 7th grade and in her first year at junior high. That would be awesome!!!

  420. Deirdre says

    October 1, 2008 at 11:53 am

    Love your orange banner, and the orange mini album. I’m doing Ali’s Week in the Life challenge—mainly in terms of taking photos (I haven’t scrapped sadly in over a year)…but this kind of album might be doable!

  421. Erika says

    October 1, 2008 at 11:53 am

    Sounds like a fun challenge! I’m in. And, could those mini albums be any cuter??? I don’t think so. Sure would like to carry a completed one around in my purse!!!!

    October 1, 2008 at 11:54 am

    What a great idea! I could use the “everyday” inspiration!

  424. Kim S. says

    October 1, 2008 at 11:56 am

    I will do this for sure!
    It is the perfect compliment to Ali Edwards’ blog challenge right now, so I have already started taking my photos!

  425. Jess Hess says

    October 1, 2008 at 11:56 am

    I’ve got the photos ready. I’m doing Ali’s project. It would be fun to do it in mini too.

  432. Julie says

    October 1, 2008 at 12:03 pm

    Great point. Scrapbooking IS all about looking back at the past. I think of all the times I get stuck in a closet looking at piles of pictures ignoring the here and now. (i.e. should have been CLEANING out the closet!) LOL!

    Would love to have one of those cute little books to get my project started! πŸ˜‰

    this is such a fantastic idea. I love mini books and what a great way to remember how crazy our life is right now (one store to run, 4 boys to manage, 3 seperate sports teams to cheer for, many practices and many games…and the little things like feeding, watering and watching said boys grow…and cooking, cleaning…whew, I think the list is never ending!) and see how much more crazy it is next year.

  472. Nancy L says

    I would love one of these albums, because then I don’t have to go look for one. I don’t have LSS near me anymore–okay- I will stop whining. I want to do this project. I have been collecting picture through Ali’s a week in the life challenge. Cathy help this girl out, so I can also do Stacy’s cool challenge.
    If you need anymore convincing that you should pick me, I have signed up for your BIG Picture–Design Your LIfe and I am psyched:)

I know a group of great scrappers who do this on the same day each month, do quite a collage and then will put it all together and have one heck of an album at the end of 12 months…that’s a little more than I am willing to do right now but one day…that I can handle.

  667. Ann says

    October 1, 2008 at 5:57 pm

    ohhh, I so want one of these little books. I think I might have a better chance here than I did at Stacy’s (the first 50 responses).

    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. I am on “New Moon” right now. I started reading those books after some scrapping friends of mine said they were well written and not just for teens!
