December 5 Prompt




Author: Alice Bradley

Let's Panic About Babies

@finslippy



Prompt: Let Go. What (or whom) did you let go of this year? Why?

Well I haven't completely let go yet. But I am working on letting alot of things go to add less stress to my life. I am trying to let go of the "perfect" house. I have a Two Year Old, you will not have a "perfectly" cleaned house unless you never sit down. Or never come home! :-)
I have been trying to let our financial situation go, the Lord will take care of us. This one is really hard for me, I constantly worry about not having enough for the "what-if's" in life.
But I am still trying and hope to get better in the next year.

December 4 Prompt

The Journey from the Center to the Page

@JeffreyDavis108



Prompt: Wonder. How did you cultivate a sense of wonder in your life this year?

This one is easy but I wouldn't say I "cultivated" it. Having a Two Year Old in the house helps remind you of the sense of Wonder in the everyday ordinary things.

December 3 Prompt




Author: Ali Edwards

Memory Keeping Idea Books

@aliedwards



Prompt: Moment. Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year. Describe it in vivid detail (texture, smells, voices, noises, colors).

This prompt is definitely causing for some thought. I can't really think of anything that happened this year that made me feel most alive in the way I think other people will respond to this question.
But one thing that did happen this year that made me get some of my mojo back is taking another online photography class. I love photography and taking this class, made me get my camera back out and learn some new things and make my skills better. I hope to have some money to take some more classes in the coming years.
I love to hear the sound of the camera shutter. Even though I shoot digital and can shut it off I still want it on to hear that noise!
I love hearing the responses from people when they see the photos and are very happy with them. I loved to read my comments on my photos that I turned in for these classes and hear other peoples takes on them.
This is really the only thing that stands out in my mind.

Picture the Holidays~ December 2nd

Since taking off to French Lick this weekend I have some major catching up to do. So bear with me and we'll get there.

This is the Picture the Holidays Post~ Day 2

Today's prompt was :

Beginning December in a calm state of mind might seem easy (now). But, the frenzy of the holiday season can get the best of us and sometimes can come on with very little warning. There will be good days and bad but the gist is to look at this holiday season a little differently. This season, we aren't only going to 'hope' to enjoy it (amidst the chaos) we will enjoy it! It only takes a little reframing.

As a symbol of looking at things a little differently, today you'll be using a literal frame for your image. You get to decide what goes in your frame today and how you choose to capture it!

Note: Have as much creative fun with this one as you want. Use the frame with an image already in it or take the glass out and use it in a totally new way. Your point of view is what matters here. Show us what you see, framed!

This is my take on this.

I took this while shopping at Hobby Lobby and it is taken with my cell phone. This frame and design caught my eye. Everything this color is catching my eye this year. And beings that tomorrow is our 16th wedding anniversary I thought it fit well with everything happening right now.

Snips & Snails Designs Kits

I've got two kits to post by Stephanne at Snips & Snails Designs. You can get them at Divine Digital.

The first is Buckaroo Holiday. While I don't live in the west or do cowboy type stuff, I could still make this kit work for some of my photos. Check out these two layouts:

 Then we have Snowflakes & Sugar Cookies Kit. A very cute kit and since I have all of 2009 photos scrapped, I was able to go back and use some of these for Josie's first winter. (2008) Here they are:

I think they are both gorgeous kits and she has done a great job. Go check them out!
