Okay, so it's not really the first ... it's the second. But I just got home from a week long vacation, so you'll forgive me for not posting sooner, right?

Plus I know you've all been just sitting there at your computer, hitting refresh, hoping the new photo challenge would be up, right?!?! LOL!

So I had this little "ah-ha" idea for my challenge. It's not my idea, in fact I can't claim credit at all ... it's a album idea from Stacy Julian's "The Big Picture" (http://www.scrapartist.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=28&products_id=290) . She features a "May Everyday" album that is basically documenting your everyday with both pictures and notes. Now, this can be all photos or journaling too ... you can add as much or as little as you'd like.

I am just so loving the whole idea of documenting YOUR EVERYDAY. So, it just happened that Stacy did the month of May and that I needed to create a challenge that was supposed to be posted on the first day of this month.

So your assignment is:
- Take a picture (or two or three) everyday in May that represents you and that day
- Print your pictures
- Stick them in an album

... and I would highly encourage you to journal in some fashion. It doesn't have to be anything hard, or fancy ... just jot down some notes. In fact, why not keep some index cards handy to jot your notes throughout the day. Then add those to your album.

Have fun with this ... and incorporate the other photo challenges that will be posted in May. And at the end of the month, you'll have an album that is all about you and your everyday! What a fun celebration of life and a treasure to look back on.

Please post pics to the Photography Challenge Gallery ... and label as May2, May3, etc. Now get goin' you already have one day to make up for ;).

Great idea Andrea! This would be a fun thing to let your kids (old enough to click a camera) do too! A fun spin on journaling and documenting our crazy, hectic lives!

Oh fabulous idea Tana! I think that they would LOVE that ... their own little album/journal of their world.

Great challenge! I really need to take more everyday life photos - now to see if I can keep it up for a whole month LOL! But, hey, I guess if I take more than I usually would I'm ahead of the game :)
