I have talked to all of you before about this challenge, but as there is a special hole for it now, i thought i would mention it again.

Last year in May i think, i started a 365 day challlenge.

The idea is to just take random photos of yourself eveyday for a year.

In order to keep track and record my personal journey, i have mine on a blog. Everday mostly, i upload my photo and right a few lines of comment.

You ahve no idea of the benefit this has been to my scrapping. Now when i am looking for a photo of myself to scrap for some reason, i am never short of one.... I have heaps!!!

Also, the blog with just a couple of sentences of my day is a great way to keep a record of my life for dates and journalling..... Its really wonderful..

How about giving it ago... I am very proud to say that i am now upto day 230 and i havnt missed a day....... Im the only one in the group of ladies that started at the same time, that hasnt missed a day and the benefit far outways to 10 minutes a day it take to take the photo upload and post....

Give it ago... i dare ya!!!

I think it'd be fun, but I know I'd get bored of the subject matter a little too quickly lol. Might try it when I get my new camera... and those wonderful rechargable batteries, since our current camera eats through batters at a terrifying rate.

Yeah, the really get you with batteries, huh? We started getting ours at Aldi, because they're cheaper than the main brands but last about as long anyway. I can't wait to get the rechargable batteries, and a camera that doesn't chuck a fit if you're either too close, zooming in, or too far from what you're trying to take a photo of. If people think I'm annoying with a camera now... Twisted Evil

I'll definitely think about it because I like the idea but I wonder if I'd keep forgetting to do it!!!

Maybe we could try to take a photo weekly, or monthly, instead of daily if we don't think we'll manage to remember every day? It still means more pics of you to scrap (which can't be a bad thing).

Hey!! I started this on Jan2nd. But because of depression and work related problems I faltered but I'm up and running again!!!. I think it's an AWESOME challenge, awesome in the truest sense of the word too! it's pretty bewildering lol, but sooo fun!!!!
I am also going to do a LO on each photo too Shocked this I have made a folder for, I figured a folder would hold at least 365 sheets of cardstock! LOL
