Mock 365 Project: January 2012

SO I desperately want to be cool like, Sasha and do the whole 365 days, 365 beautiful pics and post about it at the end of the month, but here's the reality: I just moved across the country and still have sea-legs if that makes any sense...and I cannot do goals right now. Just can't. But I SOOO want to do it.

I was SO stinkin' excited when I ran across THIS post about doing a simplified version of the 365 project. I love this idea...at the end of the month, do a collage of all your favorite photos and/or highlights of the month. I'm totally doing this and sharing my collages at the end of each month. Then in December I'll make a book or print them all or do something cool like that.


So here's my January collages. Yes that's a plural. I couldn't simplify that much. I made these collages in Picnik and will continue to do so until April, when the big babies at Picnik shut it down. Then I will pray something similar will emerge so I can finish my Mock 365 Project :)





Clockwise: Robin comes to visit:: Craft weekend with Sarah:: Winter Etsy line well received:: Sista:: Triple Falls @ Dupont State Forest:: Jack's reward for being brave:: alien girl...or something like that:: Grubby pup on a beautiful January day



Little Jackie-Poo:: Robin and me:: Robin and my babies:: Wild (wold) holly in my backyard:: My hottie patoty banker man and me:: Sister friend checking herself out:: Sister friend, eskimo version:: Bible-reading boy


Great idea...no?? I love it. LOVE!
Happy day, sweet ones.

xo,

I would like to be cool like Sasha too! However, me + goals = dissapointment. I am loving the collage thing though. Very cool! See, you are cool. :)
I am however doing Project Life. I am behind though cause of all this sickness. It has motivated me to take photos everyday :)So thats a start.

I did a "project 52" where you create a digital album page each week for a year and THAT was a challenge but I managed. (I had to catch up here and there but got it done by the end of the year!) I love My Digital Studio by Stampin Up. It isn't really "photo editing" if that is what you are after but as far as putting together awesome collages, it is top notch. (I'm don't work for SU! just love their stuff!)

What a neat idea! I love the picture of Sophie with her hair wrapped! "Sister friend" ha!

Love the collages. You know, you can do collages in Picasa, which is a free google download for simple photo editing.

What a fun month! And such a great idea! I would totally copy you if I knew how to make a cool collage like that. I love the one with your banker man- you guys are so stinkin' cute together! And your kids are absolutely precious!

Love the collages! Wonderful way to sum up the month in some awesome photos! Have a great weekend, sista friend! :)

This has nothing to do with your collage, though I do love it. But, it is so funny. Your playlist started playing and I thought I had accidentally hit my Itunes button because they are all songs I have on my Itunes, hahahaha. Great choice of music my dear, wacky friend.
Hugs,
Debbie

Those are great girl. I think you are just fine with the collage. That one of sophie with her headband thing on...sweet. And you and your man in the light beam...coolness.

Love this. My sister Jord does 365 (she loves being reminded to take pictures every day... I love seeing her life across the ocean).

I love it that you're doing something similar. :)
Maybe I'll join y'all and your photo projects. :)
