MAR. 4/2012 Photo a Day Challenge - "BEDSIDE"

My bedside... REALLY. You want a pic of my nightstand (ok some tiding might have to happen). My poor bedside table gets the worst of it. My books, my magazines, my photos & my every present glass of pop or milk. It also holds childhood memories, gifts of jewerly & piles of this & that. So I tidied it up for up but I left the most important things to me. You can see my wedding photo (kids photos are on the wall), a glass of milk (WITH ICE), a scrapbook magazine & notebook for ideas, my jewerly box - given to me by a cherished music instructor & a little brown bear - made for me by my Mom when I was very little.

The books are my current reading - "Grace for the Good Girl", "Crazy Love" & a new paraphased New Testament given to me by my sister. On the wall behind the lamp are 2 watercolour paintings of Bermuda - my most memoriable holiday. Thanks for looking & being a bedside peeper. :)

MAR. 3/2010 Photo Challenge - "Within Walking Distance"

So how do you take 1 photo of your neighbourhood? I couldn't. I live in an older neighbourhood within the Friendly City -Woodstock ON. CAN. Just a walk from downtown. My nieghbourhood is decorated with large, shady trees, parks & century old homes (some older than this). Downtown is a mere 3 blocks away & there we find, art, theatre, history, education, shopping & so much more. My children go to school there. We love to walk up & down the main drag & enjoy a hot chocolate there. We attend movies, plays, baseball games, borrow books & remember our fallen soldiers there. Our downtown has some work to do but slowly it will get there. Thank you Woodstock ON for being my adopted hometown of 15 years - the longest I have ever lived in one place.

MAR. 2/2012 Photo Challenge

Wow I am such a bad blogger - My last post was in October. Where does the time go? It flies... FAST.
I have recently decided to participate in a daily photo challenge, which I hope will lead to a modified "Project Life" album and some fun 12x12 layouts. I saw that a couple of my scrappy friends, Vicki Boutin & Nic Howard were playing along and just decided to join in. This photo challenge can be found HERE. I think the routine of taking the photos, editing & journaling about them will be a good thing for me. My routine needs a boost. Here is the list of Prompts to interpret however you like and my first 2 photos.

If you want to play along... don't forget to post your photos on FACEBOOK, TWITTER, PINTEREST, INSTAGRAM,  Your BLOG & anywhere else you might like to share.

Have fun taking photos & being creative.
