Monday

I signed up for a fun little "Picture the Holidays" Prompt-Me through Paper Coterie.  

Let me just stop and tell you how much I loooove Paper Coterie.  I ordered several journals through them for Mother's Day/Father's Day gifts and loved the finished product!  I also got a handful of Christmas cards from them for being part of a focus group.  They are the most beautiful Christmas cards I have ever had!  I follow them on Facebook, and I love the sweet things they are always posting.  Check them out - they also regularly email discount codes.

Anyway, back to my story.  So when they announced this prompt-me book for the holidays I decided to give it a try.  When you sign up you get an email every day in December with a photo prompt for that day.  You give it some thought, take a picture, and then upload it to your account on their website and it automatically compiles it into book form.  At the end of December you have a book with all of your photos from the holiday season.  In case you're interested and are now disappointed that it's already begun, I'm pretty sure it's not too late to sign up.  It's kind of a work-at-your-own-pace thing, so if you wanted to do several photos in one day then you just go to their site and read ahead.

I'm really enjoying it so far.  It's encouraging my creativity!  Here are my first 4 pictures:


Day 1: Holding on to Gratitude
(Something you're thankful for ... I chose our house because I'm still so excited to be living in our very own home!)



Day 2: ReFraming the Season







Day 3: All You Need is Love



Day 4: You Hold the Key
(What helps you to stay calm ... for me it's sitting and breathing/meditating)


Looking forward to the rest of the season in photos :)
