Seasons Captured

A couple months ago I saw a blog post somewhere (I didn't save the link except on FB, and that's gone- sorry!) about a 
photo checklist for the summer time. 
It was an adorable idea...I loved the thought of capturing the fun things we do with our family during summer with deliberate photos.
I also loved that having a checklist BEFORE the season started 
would be a great way to spark ideas of things to do on those days when it was hard to get going or think of something.

Well anyway, it really felt like summer was just flying by, especially with Daughter starting school so early, so I didn't really jump on the list. I did think that it would be fun to do it for the holidays though, so I kept it in mind.

I told a few friends about the idea and more ideas just started coming. We thought it would be so fun to make a new list for each season, because obviously spring and fall and winter are all so fabulous!! We also thought it would be fun to collect ideas of things to put on the list from everyone, so that it would be a collaborative project. Then a final, inspiring idea was had: instead of having everyone post their photos on their own places and having to scroll through and try to find them all over the place, why not create a site where everyone could go and post their photos or the links to their photos! 

Thus, Seasons Captured was created. 
Melissa, of HUckleberry Prairie, and her husband Jon were the workhorses behind the amazing website. I was so impressed and excited when I saw it. Jessica, of Party Love, Melissa and myself are so excited to see our ideas come to life and are so ready to share with everyone! 

If you'd like to take on this photo project for yourself and your family, we'd love for you to join us!! The Fall list is up and will run now through Thanksgiving. Go to www.seasonscaptured.com and register so you can jump right in and post your own memories of the season. You can print the list and keep it in your home, purse, car, whatever works best for you! Can't wait to see everyone's photos!!

Day One

So I've decided to try to start the thirty day photo challenge that a few of my friends have started. Some are doing it on their blog, some are doing phone pics on their twitter, etc. I've decided to just stick with the blog. So I think mine will be more like a 30 week photo challenge, but oh well. I'll get to it when I do. ;)

Day one: Self-Portrait

This is me. The first thing that pops out at me are my crazy baby hairs. They never really go away. They stay really bad or just a little less bad. Ugh.
This is me being lazy. There's a basket full of people to pray for, a parenting book to read, craft scissors waiting to finish a project, a Bible to study...all these things gathered on one little table, waiting for me to get up and get going.
Another is the expression. The wrinkled forehead, serious lips, wide eyes...I don't know why but I ALWAYS get caught with this worried, anxious, or concerned expression. It's just me. And we aren't going to point out my eyebrows in DESPERATE need of a wax. Actually, I've been thinking about trying threading...anybody tried it? Yes, No? Opinions please?

This picture feels a little more comfortable to me. I am easily distracted. In fact, Daughter had told me something here and I just kept clicking to see what happened as I listened to her story. So this picture feels like me. Caught candidly, by me.
How do you like my crooked smile and eye? On MY left side, both my bottom lip and bottom eyelid go up just a smidge more than the right side. Which could be really disturbing if you read those science reports on how beauty is calculated...symmetry. Phfff....they don't know what they're talking about. ;)

So there you have it.
Me.
Hello world.
:)

If you want to participate in the photo challenge, hop on board.
