Simple things Sunday

Yesterday we enjoyed the fall day and collected leaves to later press in wax paper.  My daughter was spreading out our finds to see all the pretty colors.

We also enjoyed a paint chip scavenger hunt using fall colors.  You can find the idea here.  It was very fun and kept us busy for a while!

Lists

I am a list maker.  It helps me stay on track for the most part.  I keep a composition book that I write in.  It's mainly grocery lists and to do lists.  Around holidays it is special lists and before traveling it is packing lists.  You get the picture.

One thing that I have really enjoyed in the past is photo challenges.  As a scrapbooker, in the past photos have been my thing but journaling is always tough.  The Currently weekly journaling challenge by Kristen is so smart.  It's almost like a tiny time capsule for your scrapbook listing all the stuff that you are into.  This could easily be incorporated in to monthly collages or project life.  If you are feeling really "listy" check out 30 days of lists free month challenge here.

You could certainly use these as a jumping off point for many things.  Like use the currently challenge on a monthly basis instead of weekly, on your birthday month try making a list everyday with details about you similar to the 30 days idea, or occasionally include a grocery, to do, or packing list in your scrapbook.

2012 Holiday Photo Scavenger Hunt done!

Back in December, I wrote about my holiday photo scavenger hunt.  This is the third year that my son and I have done this together.  They are super fun and force you to get a little creative.  You can see my original post here.

I have to admit this year I was starting to wonder if I was going to be able to finish it.  But, I put it on my to do list and got 'er done!  My son asked me what is "holiday" about a window.  I told him when I set out to take my photos I try to put something Christmas in the photo.  For example, I could have just taken a photo of the window but I was sure to stand so that I could see the tree.

Another photo project that I really like (but not sure if I can handle!) is the December Daily project by Ali Edwards.  I may try it this year, but that time of year is always so busy and I just don't know if I can commit to it.  We'll shall see!

Holiday Photo Scavenger Hunt

I created a holiday photo scavenger hunt for my family to participate in.  It is really fun!  There are tons of photo lists out there, but thought I would share mine even though Christmas day is here there is still time to do it before the decorations come down.  Enjoy and let me know if you do it!  I will be sharing a collage after the holidays of our photos.  Don't let one of these subjects keep you from finishing; feel free to change it up.  Merry Christmas!
