nearly mid march and i have not missed a photo a day! wow how eye opening..makes me more aware. another site i read is calling it the noticing project. very insightful! very creative. hard to get different shots every single day when you live hte same life and do the same thing day after day. or in my case currently night after night. i work nights and have a definite need to get more life in between work and sleep. this lovely little easy project is really opening my eyes and making me think! i love it! interesting to see a months worth of pictures. i am now planning my scrap book or mini book of some sort for printing them all off each day…colours and date tiem stamping etc…very very cool!
finally, several years after creating this goal i am actually almost ready to add the table which would be the last step! i have spent about forty five hours in january of 2008 scraping renter goo off the lovely hardwood floor, then staining it a gorgeous dark mahogany colour! looks so great! my computer has been moved in and so has a great deal of my supplies.
the table is a big huge stumbling block. time will tell! this room is bright and sunny and so lovely to come to.
