picture the holidays {dec 1}

today is the first day of a new journey!

picture the holidays was a course i took last winter, that delivered an emailed prompt every morning to my inbox and left the rest of the day to soul search what it meant to me.  this constant awareness of the season we were in made every little moment very special, and i was sad when december 31st arrived and the class ended. 

i tried hard to do a picture a day for the entire year after that, but by mid february i quickly slid downhill... from one a day, to one a week, then one a month, then nothing for months. 

i'm sad that i didn't get through the project 365 but was overjoyed when i found out that picture the holidays was being offered again this year!  it is a little bit of a different format this year, so i will try my best to keep up and keep posting. 

please feel free to comment on my blog posts, or head over to the momography page to join in the fun and add your own photos if you are doing a photo a day project... i'd love to see it, and i know it would help keep me motivated!

ok, ready for it?  31 days of absolute sappiness, coming right up!  ~hehe~



today's prompt: holding onto gratitude



these pieces of home-made jewelery have so much meaning for me, and really symbolize perfectly the thing that i am most grateful for... family.  my husband, my children, parents and siblings, nieces and nephews, extended family and friends who feel like family.  i love you all and am such a lucky person to have you in my life!

love to all, hope you enjoyed the first day of december... only 23 left until the big guy starts his magical journey!
