Unexpected

Playing along with the photo-a-day challenge.
Lately when I download my pics from my camera I find it's the unexpected photos from the scenes of our day that I love the most.

A friendship with a doggie.

Quincey's love for her sis and the fact that you can gauge her happiness by how big she opens her mouth.



Clean, quiet, still little piggies.


More tea time! :)
Are you playing along in the 365 photo-a-day challenge? Basically you capture a moment from your day, everyday for the year.

I am playing along and putting each picture in a regular lined writing journal so I can add a few thoughts from each picture/ day as well. Almost like a picture diary for '09.

lisa said...

I am! And it is so fun!!

Amber Filkins said...

Oh, those pictures are just beautiful!

Christy said...

Yes I am,and I am loving it. I post my pictures on my blog about every other day and then write about it. I even have friends following it to see what I can come up with!

Allison said...

Gorgeous pics! I am going to play along when I can and try not to stress if I forget! :)

Loving the SO sweet pics. These will be wonderful to look back on. Very cute! Also, LOVING all the different angles of your photos.

Hannah said...

I'm playing too...I love your photos!

Sometimes I feel like mine get boring (I've done a project similar to this before) since it's just me, my hubby, and our dog...but, I'm really trying to think outside the box this time...and, I'm having a lot of fun with it!

I'm actually taking a photo-a-day of my love handles to see the growth over 2009. Very exciting!

Love the last shot of the little people having tea - as a Mom of 3 with every little people set made and many fond memories of them from when I was little and they were made of wood - that photo is priceless!

More of Collin to love--excellent! :) Yes, doesn't it make you appreciate the beauty of every single day? Sending you happiness this winter Monday!

EmmaJ said...

I'm playing along! I don't think I would be as brave as Collin is being though... Maybe if I knew they would shrink.

I am doing it.. wanted to do it last year, but didn't want to start a week late.. I am a perfectionist! I love how it gives me a slightly different outlook on my day.. such cute pics! Love Q's mouth-gaging-system..

Wendy said...

I'm playing along, but my pictures aren't nearly as adorable as yours are...but then my kids are 13 and 20 and their piggies are quite as cute as Avery's.

Carla said...

Those girls are just adorable - cherish this moments!

I'm on my second year of 365! I begged people to do it with me last year and it was great to do it as a group (only a few got behind and stopped). You'll be amazed at what happens as it develops. If you do it with some close friends and/or family (each record on a blog), it adds an even more wonderful advantage of keeping in touch and knowing each other in a deeper way. It's fun to watch all the excitement about it this year. :D

Karen said...

i am doing it....i was lucky enough to get a kit! i have the first 2 weeks almost completed.

elizabeth kartchner said...

hi pretiflowerliz,
so happy that you enjoyed my layouts in CK, was that the Feb issue? I had a lot of fun with the 'Bring your pages to life' article.

Also miss Anonymous :) the music is at the very very bottom of all the posts and you can see what songs you like. Maybe I'll move it to the side so people can find it better. :)

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad everyone is enojoying Project 365. :)

Loved your article for CK! Very helpful tips!

april said...

elizabeth, I love your photos. I can't imagine how hard it is to take a photo a day, but one of these years, I'll get around to it.

Lisa said...

You MUST post Collin's picture of the day. That would be so funny!

Reading your blog helps me stay positive in this cold negative 30 degree weather. I, too, am waiting for you to write a book. Any plans for one?

Love the pictures and music too.

Brock Family said...

I love your pictures! Your little ones are just too cute! My little ones are about the same age...isn't it so fun!?

yeah its the feb issue, and i gotta say that i love the whole issue! its the best ck issue in a while...and i totally love the layouts you did for that article...i gotta say that your style is recognizable anywhere, but these pages are just a little bit different i think...and yet still keeping with your "style" i guess...great job!!! oh and btw on the next post someone mentioned something about you posting more layouts....if you can, although a busy mom, that would be awesome...it would be cool to see what kind of stuff you do on a regular basis....
