I haven't started, but I think I'm going to.. I have like NO PHOTOS to scrap these days!

If you are doin' 365.. how do you do it? Are you with a group.. do you follow prompts?? .. or do you just photograph whatever you feel like? It's hard for me to stay motivated, but it's so worth it in the end to get a whole schwack of "everyday photos"!!

Yep I am! After failing miserably last year, I am off to a good start this year. The Calendar Girls(I'm one of them) at Log Your Memory are running a support group, mostly just to keep one another on track. Everyone is following their own rules. My project is about collecting daily evidence- it might be a photo, quote, journalling snippet, newspaper article, ticket, whatever. And if I don't get something everday, it doesn't matter!

Here is my flickr show http://www.flickr.com/photos/46181404@N02/
and I've even done a layout already- it's in the Mscraps gallery. I may have just exhausted myself though.

Your photos are Beautiful!!! Daily "evidence" .. that's a good way to look at things. I think I'm gonna grab my camera and take it out with me tomorrow and see what I come home with. I'm such an "event photographer" .. I always have my camera around for those milestone moments.. but it's the "everyday" that I love to scrap and document, and I need to push myself to take those kinds of photos!!

Hmmm me too. I said I didn't think I was even capable of doing a project 365 but maybe I need to try. Well, I'm I've got some catching up to do then.

hello ladies...
i was able to start it last year but i eventually stopped. however, i'm starting it this year and Lord willing i'll be able to end this year with 365 photos.
it's fun. a scrapper friend did it last year and i kept visiting her blog just to look at her 365 photos... it's inspiring (http://tellcitypretzels.com (http://tellcitypretzels.com/)). now she's doin project 52.
i just take any photos. whatever i like, whoever i like, just random shots actually. i'm just so sad i won't be able to visit your flickr sites ladies since flickr is blocked here in UAE (no idea why).
let's all do it. i'm still new in photography and i think i can know my camera much better in doing project 365.
take care... :)

i decided to try p365 this year. but i was even to scared to post here because that would mean that it is *real*. bahahaha. I'm just taking a pic to represent each day and then writing a REALLY short blurb about it. http://3pp365.blogspot.com/
It will be nice on day 365 to look back at all 10 of my photos. bahahaha. :25r30wi:

jaime... wow, you got a nice blog for your project 365, i was just there. that's a good idea of showing your photos. i haven't posted my first week photos yet and since flickr is blocked here in UAE, i think i'll create a blog for it??? thanks to you jaime (if you don't mind)... hehehe... :giggle:

i love it, everyone here is keeping it casual. i think that's a good way to look at it. i figure if it gets too hard, it will just turn into a p52! i love a good back-up plan!

I'm not even going to try! LOL
My life is so boring, I wouldn't even know what to take pics of! :giggle:

I'm doing it this year... I really need the photo practice. LOL
I'm just doing random shots...I'm trying not to just take them all of my kids.

After being cooped up for so long with an injury I'm finding that there's so much I missed "seeing" around town.

I'm in a group on facebook but started throwing them up on my blog too. I don't have my blog FINISHED but hey...I'm POSTING and that's amazing in itself.

And Miss Edeline... I seriously hate putting my pics up with your photographic hotness floating around my newsfeed. I guess I'll overlook your insane talent because you do share awesome music! ;)

Nope, I started it last year and ended in may...I will focus on scrapping!

yeah you go girls!! I finished my project 365- 2009 and I'm so freakin' proud for keeping up. I didn't felt like doing it again this year, so decided to do a project 52 instead and will highlight one subject on my blog each week..and of course some other photos, stories & 'essence of the day' kind of thing :) http://www.project52-petra.blogspot.com/

I think I just gotta start. .. gee day is half done, and still no picture! What is WRONG with me???!!! :happy113:

THat project 52 sounds a little more reasonable. Maybe I should shoot for that instead! Thanks for all of your stories girls!!

I'm following ya now Petra.

I LOVE your blog... did you do that?
I'm trying to get mine spiffy but it's REALLY annoying. LOL

I'll add the 365/ 52 links once I get a list of everyone.

I'm going to give project 52 a shot. There is no way I would make it to week 2 of 365! I love looking at everyone else's pic though. Misty - I love that picture of the truck on your blog - did you run an action on that?

Wow you ladies are ambitious! I’ve now spent WAY too much time on this thread especially, jumping to everyone’s blogs to view pictures… I LOVED everyone’s pictures! All so inspiring. I’ll be back to see what more you ladies are doing! Keep up the good work!

Aw, thanks Kelley! No action....just played with some layers. It could be better... I want to pick up some of those My Four Hens actions. I am REALLY new to the photo thing so I'm a little scared. LOL

I have to get on my pic today... I haven't left my house yet!

I just bought two action packs from 4 Hens (soft and sweet and Colorplay) Haven't had a chance to play with them yet. I really want a set from Totally Rad Actions but they are $160.00! I just can't bring myself to pay that.

I wonder if any of the new designers coming here do actions????:biggrin8:

I have decided to take the plunge and do 365 this year. So far so good. I havent kept up with the blogging to well. So I figured I would just take the photos daily and then blog once a week. Here is my blog:

(I like the sound of the designers selling actions and presets!! I am a big fan of those!!!)

I'm doing it again this year (stopped in April last year) but I'm not pressuring myself to take photos each day. Instead I'll scrap monthly highlights so at least by the end of the year I have 12 layouts that tell me how 2010 went :)

I did Google and found lots of prompts that help if I'm getting stuck just looking around my condo thinking about what to shoot, lol.

I did Project 365 last year, and did great until, oh....May or so. LOL! Then I got pregnant and sick and just plain tired and lazy. But I still kept on going, just with some missing days...not a big deal. I still got TONS of great pictures for the year. I have been scrapbooking a 2 page layout for each month and have caught up to August. jeez...

This year I am doing project 12! Just taking pics each month and I will do another 2 page layout for each one again...just with less pressure to take a picture every day.

Last year, I tried my hand at p52, but only made it through May with weekly pages. I switched to monthly pages mid-year. I like p12 and will continue that through 2010 with a 2 page layout for each month.

I'm with you Melissa, I like the low pressure of a monthly page.

I am doing it. I dont upload every day though. Probably like every three to four days and just make a little note of what the photo is for each day. Im caught up to January 28th for photos and weekly layouts. Oh and I add the photos and layouts on my blog:

I am doing it, sort of. Mine is more like a project 52 than a project 365. I do not require that I take a photo every single day. I just take a few photos per week and make one layout for that week. Does that make sense?

Jakajer
01-02-2010, 07:39 AM
Well.. I've started.. but I've only taken 4 photos in about 2 weeks! HA! And ya know what.. I'm glad I have at least those! I will probably continue in spurts, you know.. the odd day I actually remember to grab my camera!!
Soo cool to see all of you gals keepin' up, or just doin' your own thing!! YAY! :cheer:

I am doing it this year. For days I miss I will select a paper that represents my mood for that day. I'm at about 80% so far.
