Project 365

Okay, if I'm going to be honest, I have been really struggling with this blog thing. There are soooo many things that I mean to put up here, and then I don't get around to it, and then more things happen, and then I have this HUGE post that I feel some sense of obligation to put up to keep things up to date. And then the blog becomes a source of tension and stress.

Well, no more. This is supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be a way for our friends and family to keep up with what's going on with us. And mostly, it's supposed to be EASY. Where's my EASY button?!

So this year I am embarking upon a scrapbook challenge called "Project 365." It's fairly evident what that means--a picture a day, EVERY day, for an entire year. And a quick blurb about the picture. Emphasis upon quick. And easy. And the cool thing is that I'm getting this kit that is going to allow me to make a super quick and easy scrapbook of this endeavor.

I was thinking to myself, "self, this would be a great way to keep up with the blog! Each day when I load my single photo of the day to my computer, I can simply add it to the blog, along with my daily blurb." Cool.

Now that's not to say that I'll only be taking that single picture each day. I'm sure there will be plenty of days where I'll be taking WAAAAAAAAAY more than one. But I'm going to stick with just putting that one pic a day on the blog, and save all the other photos for the photobook at the end of the year. That way those pictures will all be a wonderful surprise for the photobook recipients!

And so, here we go. Project Zirkle 365.
