30 DAYS OF THANKFUL PAGE SHARES, PART 4
And so this little gratitude album project is in the homestretch. Only four more days left in this month to complete the project and I’m happy to say that I am perfectly caught up with it. I make this a priority in November, even when I think I’ve made it through the day and I don’t have anything to be … Read More
30 DAYS OF THANKFUL PAGE SHARES, PART 3
Today I’m sharing my third installment of 30 days of Thankful album pages. This little project is chugging along. My approach has been to make sure I do one and treat each day, regardless of what’s going on in my life. I even had one night last week that I was already settled in for the night and thought, you … Read More
30 DAYS OF THANKFUL PAGE SHARES, PART 2
Here’s another installment of my 30 Days of Thankful album entries. I made a decision last week that I am going to create a 5 x 5 softcover printed book from Artifact Uprising with these files. I am going to do this for the sake of time. This just makes more sense for saving time because is soon as my … Read More
30 days of thankful page shares, part 1
Today I am going to begin sharing some of my album entries for my 30 Days of Thankful project for 2017. This year’s project has taken on a decidedly different tone as one week ago today, I fell in my garage and fractured my hand which resulted in a lovely black cast. After a few days of feeling sorry for … Read More
Want to join me for 30 Days of Thankful in November? It’s easy. I promise!
November is almost here, friends, and with it comes a little project I’ve been doing since 2012 called 30 Days of Thankful. The idea behind it is simple: document something you’re grateful for every day for a month. Or every other day. Or every week. Take a photo for each item. Or don’t. This project is really what you make … Read More
30 Days of Thankful 2016, a video walkthrough
And so my album is done. The only reason I finished it right on time? I kept the format simple and didn’t overthink this process. I like simple. You guys know this. And making one little entry a day for me, and using my iPhone to take the photos… well, that’s my kind of simple. Today I’m sharing the last … Read More
30 Days of Thankful Page Shares, Part 4
This album project is winding down with just a few more days left in the month! Today I’ll share a few more entries and I’ll wrap it up this Friday. (And no, I didn’t take the above photo; my talented daughter did, but I had to use it because… let’s be honest: it’s pretty awesome. Am I right ladies? Love having … Read More
30 Days of Thankful 2016, Page Shares, Part 3
This project is moving nicely along. I cannot stress how having a predefined framework helps me to just focus on the content entries and not on making design decisions. Here are more pages from the album. I cannot believe how much Cole is photographically showing up in this album. The other day he said to me, “I like running errands, … Read More
30 Days of Thankful 2016, Page Shares, Part 2
My 30 Days of Thankful continues. I’ve found a daily rhythm for creating entries. One thing that helps? I just don’t reinvent the wheel. It’s a consistent spread from day to day. It brings a real sense of order to this project and lets me focus on what I want to include. Here are the last seven days. Nothing like … Read More
