Project Life Prompts- April 2013

Happy April Fellow PL-ers!!

I hope your albums are coming along!

I'm taking many many many more photos these days, but spending even less time in my studio doing anything with them.  

This guy might have something to do with it. 

Straight to business this month!!

52 Lists in 52 Weeks:

• Things I Love About Spring
• Things I Dream of Doing When My Day Turns Sour
• Things To Do On a Rainy Day
• My Favorite 80s Song List
• Things I Could Eat All Day, Every Day
• Some Things Are Better When They're Tiny

One Little Word:
 This month I have a business that I can't really run, construction that has torn up my driveway & forces me to listen to large machinery breaking up concrete for hours at a time, 2 ticked-off cats, 2 insane seven-month old puppies, hundreds of house guests, a fiance that's never in his life held a baby,  a nursing newborn and an incision that prevents me from being able to put my own socks on.  

I have decided that I need a large, visual reminder of my word if I am to survive.

So this month, I am working on  a 12x12 layout that I will frame and hang in the hall outside my studio with my word on it. Later on, I will add it to my album, but right now I need to see it.  

At this point, I have no idea at all what it will look like, but it really doesn't matter.  It just needs to remind me to Breathe. 




Project Life:

Monthly Ideas:

• National Car Care Month:  Document everything about your car this month.  You can start with the basics-- make, model, mileage, that kind of thing.  But also, get pics of oil changes, car washes, the interior-- is it neat as a pin, or a total mess?  
• National Garden Month:  April is the perfect time to start documenting your garden.  Tilling, weeding, planting, all kinds of fun stuff goes on.  Make sure to get pics of yourself in the process too.  Don't forget all those little details- your dirty gloves, mud on your boots, the big, floppy hat you wear to keep the sun off your face, etc.
• National Humor Month:  Get  photos or screen shots of all the things that make you laugh this month.  My Facebook friends tend to post lots of MeMes that make me laugh, so I'll be saving some of those to use too.
• Couple Appreciation Month:  I see 2 ways to approach this one.  1) Spend the month documenting the other couples that you & SO spend time with.  Who are they?  How do you know them? What sorts of things do you do together as couples?    2) Document all of the things you & your SO do to stay connected as a couple.  Does he make your first cup of coffee for you in the morning?  Do you lay out his shirt & tie in the morning?  Do you text or email each other during the day?  Do you chat on your lunch hour?  
• Yellow:  Look for all things yellow in your environment this month

 Other Monthly Themes to Consider:

• Alcohol Awareness Month
• Autism Awareness Month
• Child Abuse Prevention Month
•  Defeat Diabetes Month
• Grilled Cheese Month
• Global Child Nutrition Month
• Home Improvement Month
• Celebrate Diversity Month
• International Twit Month
• Month of the Young Child
• National Card  & Letter Writing Month
• National Decorating Month

Weekly Themes:

• Explore Your Career Options Week:  Even if you are totally content with your job, it never hurts to think about your options.  What other careers could you go to if you had to?  What would you want to do if you could do anything?  
• Hate Week:  Face it.  We all hate things.  Use this week to get it all off of your chest.  Get pics of stuff that you just flat out don't like.  
• National Volunteer Week:  How do you volunteer your time?  Make sure to get lots of photos & make notes about why you choose to help out the way you do.
• Preservation Week:  What are you preserving?  Memories?  Heirlooms? Fruit?  Document it!
• Sky Awareness Week:  I'm going to take a photo of the sky over our backyard every morning this week at 8am.  I think it will make a neat layout to see how it looks from day to day.  It would be fun to do a night-time version of this too if you have a tripod & camera with a delayed shutter option. 

Other Weekly Themes To Consider:

• International Pooper-Scooper Week

Apr 7: National Beer Day-- Document your favorite brew! Is it local or something more exotic? Do you make your own? 
Apr 8: No Housework Day-- This is a holiday I can be on board with!  If you took all of the time today that you would normally be doing housework & spent it doing something fun, what would it be? Or maybe, this is a time to document your housekeeping routine.

Apr 23:  Movie Theater Day-- If you can't get to a movie today, you could make a list of the ones you want to see.
Apr 24: Take a photo through the windshield of your car today. (Please don't do this while the car is in motion.)  What sights do you see?
Apr 25: Take Our Sons & Daughters To Work Day-- If you have kids, ask them what they think you do for a living.  The answers might surprise you.

Project Life Prompts- March 2013

Good morning crafters!!

2 months down!

How are you doing?

I hope you are continuing on.

I am finally getting it together.

I finished 2012 this month & got started on 2013.

I also got Lil Man's PL album started.

As of today, he is not here yet, but his album is ready to go when he makes his appearance.

And his Daddy is living with my crazy hormones & threats of death, dismemberment & sleeping in the garage until he's old and grey if he doesn't take gobs of pictures at the hospital.

(I'll let you know how that one goes!)

Here are some ideas for March

52 Lists in 52 Weeks:

• Things I Collect
• Books on my "To Read" List
• Things That Make Me Crazy
• Movie Families I Would Be Happy to be Part Of
• Today I Will... 

 One Little Word:
 This month I plan on making a technique-filled, photo-less layout with song lyrics that contain my word.  Choosing a song was super-easy for me.  Lil E is due to be born this month and he has a song that Steve & I think of as "E's Song".  My word is in the title & lyrics.  Not something that I planned at all.  In fact, I hadn't even thought of it until just a couple of days ago when Steve noticed that I had added a new charm with this year's word to my necklace.  He asked me why I chose "Breathe" & after I explained it to him, he mentioned that this is also the name of E's song.  That's when the idea hit me to make this page with the song lyrics.   Think ATC on a larger scale.  Not something I do....ever really, so it should be a fun way to exercise my creativity & think outside the box. 





Project Life:

Monthly Themes:

• National Craft Month:  I think this would be a super-fun monthly theme.  Just photograph anything crafty that you do this month.  For me, this would be motivation to finish up a ton of little projects that I've been wanting to do & haven't gotten around to. 
• Green:  March is a great time to start looking for green!  Spring is on the way, the weather is warming up, things are starting to bloom.  I love spring!
• Three: Look for  triplets in the world around you.  We have 3 cars, 3 baby strollers (for one baby!), and 3 bicycles in our garage.  That's a good start on 3's.  I bet they're everywhere if you start looking!
• International Expect Success Month:  Document everything you do that is a success this month-- and the things that aren't.  Maybe you will find patterns that can help improve your successes.  You never know what you might notice about yourself.
• National Caffeine Awareness Month:  Document ALL of the caffeine that you consume this month.  Is it a lot or just a little bit?  I never even gave caffeine a thought until I became pregnant & I have definitely noticed a change in how I feel now that I only consume just a small amount.  Maybe you will too.

Other monthly themes to consider:

• American Red Cross Month
• Child Life Month
• Music In Our Schools Month
• National Color Therapy Month
• Ethics Awareness month
• National Nutrition Month
• National Women's History Month
• Optimism Month
• Sing With Your Child Month
• Youth Art Month

Weekly Themes:

• Write a Letter of Appreciation Week:  I can think of lots of people (some living, some not) that I could write letters to.  How about you?
• Celebrate Your Name Week:  Notice (and photograph!) all of the places that you see your name. First name, last name, doesn't matter.  Just notice how often it pops up around you. There's a pizza place here in town that has my first name & a collector's shop that currently carries an autographed poster of a football player that shares my last name, so that's where I'll be starting!
• Act Happy Week:  Photograph all of the happy faces you can find.
• American Chocolate Week: Photograph all of the chocolate in your life this week.  With all of the Easter candy floating around right now, it shouldn't be hard to find.  And after 12 weeks of refraining due to Gestational Diabetes, I am SOOOO looking forward to indulging a little! (For the sake of my PL, of course!)
• National Cleaning Week:  Document your weekly cleaning schedule, the products you use, etc.   I love to include basic, daily life things like this in my albums. I love to see this kind of thing from my Mother's & Grandmother's era,   because they are things that change the fastest.  Products change.  Technology changes. The way we live changes.  And I find it fascinating.  Even in my lifetime, how different these basic routines are, so I like to get them in my albums for the sake of posterity.   Maybe when I'm 80 I can show these pictures to my grand kids & tell them what life was like when I was younger.

 Other Weekly Themes to consider:

• National Ghostwriters Week
• National Cheer-leading Week
• Festival of Owls Week
• National Procrastination Week
• National Words Matter Week
• Read an E-Book Week
• Women in Construction Week
• Teen Tech Week
• National School Breakfast Week
• American Crossword Puzzle Week
• Wildlife Week
• Yoyo & Skill Toys Week

Daily Ideas:
Mar 1: World Compliment Day-- who do you know who could use a compliment?
Mar 2: Dress In Blue Day-- self portrait time!
Mar 3: What if Cats & Dogs Had Opposable Thumbs? Day-- what kind of shenanigans do you suppose your furry family members would get up to?
Mar 4: Daughters & Sons Day-- get pics of your little (or not so little) monkeys
Mar 5: Fun Facts About Names Day-- No photo necessary today!  Document the meaning of your name & the names of  your family
Mar 6:  Namesake Day-- write the story of who YOU are named for
Mar 7: Cereal Day-- get a pic of the stock of cereal in your pantry.  What are your family's favs?
Mar 8: International Working Women's Day-- get a picture of what you do for a living
Mar 9: Panic Day-- get pics of your Doomsday Preparations (or lack thereof.  We have 2 gallons of water in the garage and a first aid kit.  If the Zombies come tomorrow, we're screwed.  Maybe we should work on that!)
Mar 10: US Paper Money Day-- Get a photo of how much cash you have on you right now.  No cheating & going to the bank the day before!
Mar 11: World Napping Day-- take a nap.  It's OK. You have my permission.  Make someone else take a pic of you while you do it.
Mar 12: Organize Your Home Office Day-- well, this one's pretty self-explanatory huh?  Make sure to photograph your efforts.
Mar 13:  National Agriculture Day-- Get a photo of the current state of your garden or yard or maybe your plans for planting this year.
Mar 14: Potato Chip Day-- Document your family favorites & the size of your stash
Mar 15:  Companies That Care Day-- Photograph or screen-capture the logos of companies that you buy from or places you shop because you agree with their morals. Make sure to journal WHY you use them.
Mar 16: National Quilting Day-- Get photos of your current project.  If you aren't a quilter, maybe you have a hand-me down or gifted quilt that you can document.
Mar 17:  St. Patrick's Day!-- This one is huge for me.  My family are Irish, and St. Pat's is one of my most favorite holidays!!  And it will be Lil E's first FIRST holiday!  I can't wait to dress him in his little shamrock sleeper!  Get a self-portrait in your green!
-OR-
Mar 17: International Sports Car Racing Day-- document your racing team or favorite race car
Mar 18:  Forgive Mom & Dad Day-- what torture have you inflicted on your kids that you could ask forgiveness for?
Mar 19:  National Chocolate Carmel Day-- Today you must eat chocolate or caramel.  I know it's tough, but try to remember that you're making this sacrifice for the sake of art.
Mar 20: Won't You Be My Neighbor Day-- Document your relationship with your neighbors.
Mar 21: Spring Fairy Fun Day--  Photograph any signs of Spring that you have noticed around you
Mar 22:  International Goof-off Day--  What do you do when you are goofing off?
Mar 23: Near Miss Day-- have you had any "Near Misses" lately that you can document?
Mar 24: Document the contents of your purse today. What bizarre goodies are you lugging around?
Mar 25: National Medal of Honor Day-- Do you know anyone who has one?  Document it. 
Mar 26: Make Up Your Own Holiday Day-- If you could create a holiday, what would it be & why?
Mar 27: Quirky Country Music Song Title Day-- What is the first one that comes to mind?  Make a 4x6 ATC-style card documenting why it amuses you
Mar 28: Weed Appreciation Day-- I don't know about you, but my yard is way more weeds than intentional plantings.  I've decided that as long as they don't have thorns, they can stay.  Otherwise, weeding would be a full time job.  Photograph your own battle with weeds, or why you've decided not to fight this fight.
Mar 29: Texas Loves The Children Day-- Well, my Little Man should definitely be here by the 29th.  We have a cute little T-Shirt that we bought him from the TX State Fair that says "Made In Texas" on the front.  I thought this would be a perfect photo-op  to celebrate this day.  If you don't have a newborn with a cute TX T-shirt, you could use this day to document where your children were born. 
Mar 30: National Day of Unplugging-- I think we could all use this day once in a while- certainly more than once per year!  Photograph the things that your family does when you aren't plugged in.
Mar 31:  Easter Sunday-- Easter is an easy day for photo ops.  Just start snapping away!
OR
Mar 31: National "She's Funny That Way" Day-- photograph some of your personal quirks.

Off we go into another month!

Take tons of pictures, make lots of notes and most of all-- Enjoy it!!

Project Life Prompts- February 2013

Hello PL-ers!!  

How did your first month go?

I have to admit, I'm totally starting the year off badly.  

I have taken tons of pictures (TONS!) but haven't printed a single one yet. 

Baby shower, family visiting, mandatory business training, multiple dr visits thanks to gestational diabetes, baby shopping & setting up his room-- Oh, and 2 adorable ADORABLE roly-poly little 14 week old puppies have just been taking up all my time.

LIFE is getting in the way of my album!

How dare it?!?

Thankfully, I have kept up with my note-taking & have a folder filled with ephemera all ready to go.

My lists are made-- on scratch paper, but they are made!

And my OLW page is started- it just needs to be glued down.

 

Hopefully, my studio & I will get some bonding time soon.

If not, Mama might just lose her marbles.

I wanted to take a minute to answer a question that I've gotten several emails about.

Yes- I print the vast majority of my photos at home.

I have a Canon Selphy CP800 that I use for printing.

I LOVE this thing.

LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE IT!

It's very easy to use, the print quality if fantastic & because it is a dye-sublimation system, the cartridges never dry out & you always know exactly how many prints you are going to get out of it so there is no wasting ink or paper on half-printed photos. 

It will only print at the 4x6 size (which is fine with me-- I use Photosheet to re-size some pics down to the 2x3 pocket size and for the occasional photo collage.) and the finished photo is very slightly smaller than a true 4x6, but I feel that it is not noticeable since they are all consistently slightly smaller throughout the album.

I don't do many photos that other sizes, but the few that I do use I always order from Persnickety Prints.  

I *heart* them. 

Their prints are gorgeous, come in all kinds of scrapper-friendly sizes, and  their customer service is the best.

(Seriously-- I got a phone call at home from an actual person! when one of my files uploaded weird & printed wonky-- they wanted to make sure it was correct before they sent it to me. Who does that now days??  Nobody but them- which is why they will have a loyal customer in me forever.)

I hope that helps a few of you & answers your questions.

If not, feel free to leave a comment & I will be happy to elaborate if I can. 

On to business!!!!

Here are some ideas for February

52 Lists in 52 Weeks: 

It's LOVE Month-- you could do lists of  

• 10 Things I love about YOU
• 10 Things I love about ME
• 10 Things I love about US
• 10 Things I love about LIFE 
• 10 Things I love about (Dog/Cat/Fish/Rabbit/Pet of your choice)
• 10 Things I love about being SINGLE

I think you get the drift-- it's an easy list month if you're feeling lovey!
If not, you could try

• Band/Musicians I fantasize about being a back-up singer/dancer for
• My Favorite Animated Movies
• Places nearby that I've never visited but really want to see
• The Laminated List (of Hollywood/celebrity crushes) 

One Little Word:

 This month, use up some of those left-over chipboard or alphabet stickers to make a word collage or subway art of synonyms for your word.

Project Life:

Monthly Themes:

• Love, of course: Things you love, people you love, decor you love, things you love to hate.  Love is everywhere this month.  Even if you aren't doing the 52 Lists project, lists are a great way to incorporate love into your album this month.  Forgot to take a pic on Tuesday?  Make a 4x6 list of shows you are loving right now, 10 Things you do around the house that you despise, but do anyway because they make your SO happy, the Top 20 on your playlist, movies you want to see, etc.

• Pink:  Colors are always a fun theme to go with.  Pink is easy to find with all the hearts & whatnot floating around in Feb.  But there are lots of non-Valentiney things to photograph too-- little pink tongues licking suckers, pink sunsets, the hot pink polish on my toes, pink noses coming in from playing in the cold, the CD cover to Legally Blonde:The Musical that I just replaced, etc.  

• Two: Look for things that come in pairs this month.  Any place you see 2 of something will work.  Or maybe even the numeral 2.  We have 2 new puppies and soon will have 2 new babies in the family (Lil E & his cousin Jacob who was born a couple of weeks ago), Steve has 2 brothers, I will be asking 2 long-time friends to be bridesmaids in our wedding this weekend, I just ordered Lil E 2 pack & plays (1 for home & 1 for the daycare), and there are 2 beautiful matching albums in my studio just waiting to be filled with baby pictures!  TWO is everywhere!

Don't be afraid to let your inner "Artsy-Fartsy Creative Type" come out.  Yes, this project is supposed to document your life, but it's supposed to be fun too.  You know know when something out-of-the-box could end up becoming a favorite photo.  

February is also:

• Responsible Pet Owner Month
• Relationship Wellness Month 
• National Mend-A-Broken-Heart Month
• National Hot Breakfast Month
• African-American History Month
• Library Lovers Month
• Bake for Family Fun Month
• American Heart Month

Weekly Themes:

• Children's Authors & illustrators Month: As a preschool teacher, this one speaks to me.  Try setting up the tripod & take a photo of your child's bedtime story every day for a week.  Are they all different books or do they want the same one over & over?  If you don't have kids, this would be a good time to document some of the books from your childhood that hold a special place in your heart.
• International Friendship Week: Document your most important friendships and the things you do to nourish them.  Maybe you could reach out to a friend you haven't talked to in a while as well.
• Random Acts of Kindness Week:  Document some of the little things you do to brighten a stranger's day.   
• National Conference For Education Week: Document every educational activity that goes on in your house this week, from reading the newspaper to practicing a skill or reading a book.  In my house it will be "Hank.  Your name is Hank.  When I say "HANK", I'm talking to you.  Because your name is Hank.  So when you hear me yell "HANK" it's because I want you to come here. Because your name is Hank."  (He's a cutie-patootie, but it is taking forever & a day for him to learn his name!)

 Daily Ideas:
Feb 1- Spunky Old Broads Day: Any that you know- even if it's YOU!
Feb 2- Groundhog's Day: If you're bored documenting predictions, make shadow puppets & take pics.  They're harder than you think!
Feb 3- Wear Red Day
Feb 4- Ice Cream For Breakfast Day: What a fun tradition to start!
Feb 5- Weather Person's Day: Document your local weather
Feb 6-  Walk down to the corner & take a picture of the street you live on. 
Feb 7-Laura Ingles Wilder's Birthday: these were favorite books of mine when I was a kid.  My Gram always read them with me.  It's a good day to photograph my collection of her books.
Feb 8- Laugh & Get Rich Day: What would you do tomorrow if you came into a bunch of money today? Get that fantasy down on paper!  It will be fun to read in a few years.
Feb 9- National Stop Bullying Day:  What do you do or could you do to help?
Feb 10-  Document the contents of your pantry today. 
Feb 11- White Shirt Day: Get a self-portrait in a white shirt
Feb 12- Paul Bunyan's Birthday: How will you celebrate?  Chop down some shrubs?  Wear a plaid shirt? Go for a walk in the woods?
Feb 13- Clean Out Your Computer Day: Back up your files & document your work space!
Feb 14- National Extraterrestrial Culture Day:  Do you believe in life on other planets?  Why or why not?
Feb 15- Susan B. Anthony Day: Document something you do each day that wouldn't have been "allowed" to women 100+ years ago.
Feb 16- National Donor Day:  Are you an organ donor?  (If not, I strongly encourage you to become one!  Organ donation saved the life of someone close to me not long ago & I know from personal experience what an amazing gift it is.)  Why or why not?  Will you become one?
Feb 17- National PTA Founders Day: Document how you are involved in your child's education.
Feb 18- Capernicus' Birthday (1473): Take a photo of the stars from your yard
Feb 19- Chocolate Mint Day: I absolutely HATE mint in every form.  I barely tolerate toothpaste.  Document something you despise that most people love.
Feb 20- Love Your Pet Day:  Get a pic of you & your pet
Feb 21- International Mother Language Day: Document some "personal jokes" between you & your mom or you & your kids
Feb 22-- National Margarita Day:  A day I cannot wait to celebrate!   We really don't drink a whole lot, but man oh man, there's no torture on earth like a pregnancy craving for something you absolutely cannot have.  And I am DYING for one of Lumpy's famous fresh margaritas!  Come on March!!!
Feb 23- National Chili Day:  If you don't want to take a photo, you could include a recipe card instead.
Feb 24- How are you doing with those New Year's Resolutions? 
Feb 25- International Sword Swallower Day:  Document an unusual skill or talent that you have.   I can pop my right shoulder out of joint at will-- I got mad skills, girls.  Mad skills.
Feb 26- National Personal Chef's Day:  Who is the "chef" in your house?
Feb 27- Inconvenience Yourself Day: I hate emptying the dishwasher.  I just hate it.  And, as stupid as it is, I will hand wash a whole sink full of dishes to get out of emptying the dishwasher.  I have no idea why I do this.  How do you inconvenience yourself?  
Feb 28-  What is on the front of your refrigerator?  Is it neat & clean? Do you have a magnet collection? Do you leave lots of notes here?



I would love to say that I will be posting some projects, but baby looms closer & closer, so I can't make any promises.  I do promise that monthly prompts will go up on the first of each month, but that's the best I can do for now.










I would love love love to see the pages you make using some of these prompts.  Leave me a link in the comments section & I will absolutely check them out!









I hope you have a happy February!


 ******This will serve as your friendly monthly reminder to BACK UP YOUR PHOTOS!! Everything else can be replaced, but photos can not.  ******
