Memory Keeping

This is my list of things to make: a perpetual project list. Links are shared when I am inspired by others; and more links are shared when a project is completed.

PROJECTS TO BE CREATED

10 Things: 10 Things That Make You Happy? Based on a post at A Beautiful Ripple Effect – March 2010

70 Days of Summer: Document photos + words the entire summer 2010 from the day school ends (June 29) to the day school starts (September 7)

Frogs: Based on the Mark Twain quote: eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day. (completed and posted)

Cape Cod Holiday 2010: Collection of photos + stories of our holiday. Mix it up … add in some black and whites :)  

Core Values: Mini album including all of our family values, those things all the kids need to know before they move out of this house starting with our #1 rule. 

A big book of connections: big and small, a place to put all the extras

“Be” Album: Based on Amanda Probst's Lists of Me album

December Daily: Really, this has to be done once, and since this will be the last year of the big man in red, this should be the year.

Family Christmas Party: an evolutionary collection of photos from the years of family dinners.

Hometown Tourist: Take photos around Oakville/Bronte of the places we go, the things we do, and the people we see.

Cape Cod: Collect all favourite photos and publish in big coffeetable book. Make copies for all families - the one thing I love about digi!  

Beth’s 70th Birthday Album: Have each family member write down as many nice memories as they can so we can come up with 70 in total.

Dad’s 75th Birthday Album: Have each family member write a letter – lessons learned from RJC.

Baseball: photos of Claire with Bulls AND all photos of Quebec City for Team Ontario – might have to be two albums!

Hockey Album: Put together 2009-2010 Album for Cole using information cards from DiBenedetto Album.

A Decade in Photos: all of my favourites, photos only.

PROJECTS TO BE MAINTAINED

Update As Needed:

Wishcasting Wednesday all of which are based on these blog posts inspired by Jamie Ridler Studios.

*8 Things inspired by Rachelle Mee-Chapman who designed *8 Things to quiet her monkey mind, a great idea! I do have to admit, I change the subjects according to the topics on my own monkey mind :)

Update Monthly:

12 of 12 was created by Susan Keuter in order to capture a small part of everyday life. Each 12th of the month our day is recorded, first here on Embrace Life, and later in scrapbook form.

Team Up Thursday is a project I participate in with the ever-talented Shirley LeMay as a part of this dyptich challenge. We take turns choosing the topics and has proven to be a lot of fun.

Month In Review using Cathy Zielske monthly digi-template for all photos. Combine with Month in Review posts from blog and Michelle Martin Papers downloaded from Designer Digitals.

School Albums (which haven't even been started as of September 2010) based on the simple CZ format. Keep it simple and do not stray.

Project 365 very simple photo + words for each day of the year
