I’ve been having so much fun with the 365 Project. Every couple of days I go back to my phone and camera and choose a photo to represent each day (because let’s be honest, I’m not organized enough to do this every day like you’re supposed to).
Some days I can’t choose just one, so I whip up a collage to showcase a few. Some days I don’t take even one photo so I cheat a little, and choose one from another recent day. The rules are flexible.
All I know is that come December 31, 2010, I’m going to have an awesome photographic diary of our year.
A few family members and friends are playing along too and I love following the photographs of their days, too.
Click the photo above to see my January calendar and all my photos, or you can visit my profile to see my most recent snapshots. You can join in any time, your 365 days don’t have to start on January 1st.
Such a fun and simple way to capture the memories of every day.
Because sometimes I wonder if I am ever going to get back to scrapbooking (and staying up-to-date) like I used to.
How do you keep track of your memories?

I like that you’re using “old” pictures, too. I always get overwhelmed by the idea of having to get out the camera *every* day.
I gave up scrapbooking and am now using blurb.com instead. I have really loved using it to create simple photo books, especially for grandparent gifts. Often, blurb offers deals like free shipping or 20% off your order.
Found your post from Steady Mom.
I’ll have to check out blurb, thanks!
Oooh I love how you put your pictures in a calendar … I have to know how to do that!!! There is a post for you for next week all ready and good to go!!!
How neat! Oh, and I LOVE the Mom’s Kitchen sign in Yaya’s kitchen!
I never thought I could be a scrapbooker, that uploading to Flickr was about all I could handle. Then I discovered digital scrapbooking and everything changed. No clutter, no mistakes, faster and more fun!
I definitely supplement with Flickr and still print a few photos, but scrapping is how I keep track of my memories.
@se7en- the 365project website automatically makes a calendar of your digital uploads!
@Stephanie- it’s actually my sign- thanks! I got it at Hobby Lobby, back when we lived near one.
@Jennifer- Digital scrapbooking is new to me but I’ve loved dabbling at it a little.
