more forgotten photos

My art for today was editing some of those old forgotten 2010 Project 365 photos.

I guess in a way it is kind of cheating in that the pictures weren't taken today, but editing them was the only creative thing I did all day.

forgotten photos

I have been wanting to upload the rest of my Project 365:2010 photos for quite awhile now but I kept getting distracted with things like school and other crafty projects. 

Lately, I have gone days and even weeks without turning on the computer. So tonight I spent some time editing some of those photos, but in the end I only ended up uploading two.

It's always nice when one co-worker buys a coffee for another co-worker and that co-worker doesn't want it. Yummy coffee for me!

Study time.
I am so happy I don't have to study or take classes for my certification anymore.

working on it

One of the many projects on my list of things to FINISH, is the editing and uploading of the last of the photos from my Project 365:2010, daily photo project. I'm only 15-months or so behind. Better late than never, right?

So...that's the plan. Only 95 photos to go.

it's over

My class (and final exam) are finally over and life can now get back to normal. Whatever normal is. I have been taking these classes for over a year and I really don't know anything different. It will only be for a few weeks (before I have to start another class) but I plan to make the most of my time away from the books.

Maybe now I can find some time to finally finish uploading my 365:2010 project photos before I end up being a FULL year behind. Ten months late is not too bad, is it?

slowly but surely

Slowly but surely I am uploading all my photos from last year's (as in 2010) daily photo project. Only 179 photos left to go....

less

My new class has begun.

That means less photo editing, less Flickr, less crocheting, less knitting, less Facebook, less FrontierVille, less Dexter (just started season 3) and less blogging. Basically less of everything that I am used to doing in the few short hours I have at home.

And just so that this post will have more.... Here are a few recently uploaded Project 365 photos.

one thousand and one

I cannot believe my photo has been viewed over 1000 times!

Who thought that a simple photo of a piece of birthday cake would be so popular? I for one never did. Not only does it have 1001 views on Flickr, but the photo has exploded all over Tumblr.

Hmmmm.....If I had known people would like it so much maybe I would have put a watermark on it. What is it they say? Hindsight is always 20/20? Well it is too late to worry about it now.

Here's a weird coincidence. I just noticed I also have a total of 1001 photos in my Flickr account. I think I may have a new favorite number. :-)

And to think this all came about just because the husband had a birthday. :-)

Today has turned into a rainy day

It is so dark that it makes me feel as though autumn may soon be on it's way. But I can only fool myself into thinking that for a short while. Because although today may be a nice day (although still warm) I am sure the temperature will rise once again.

The dark skies have turned me lazy today. I had such plans for the weekend. Well I always have huge plans for the weekends but I never seem to accomplish them all. Maybe I set the bar too high? Maybe I just have way too many "To-Do's" on my To-Do list.

One of the things on my To-Do list is to finally catch up with uploading my daily Project 365 photos.

I am so behind in uploading. The year is almost over and my uploads are only up to April. I never did finish uploading all my photos from 2009. It bothers me that I take a photo a day but then I never do anything with it. I think 3 years may be my limit. With work & my studies I don't know if I can do it another year. But I am so used to taking a photo a day I really don't see myself stopping. Maybe next year I can do something like 365 days of clouds. I like clouds. But what happens on those days when there are no clouds?

Since I did create this blog to share my stuff I guess that is what I should do. So without further ado....here are my photos for the first 3 months of 2010. :-)

My little bluebird of happiness

While looking thru last year's 365 Days project (the photos I have yet to upload) I found that right around this same time of year (last time) I just happened to take a photo of the same exact thing.

This candle.

I have found quite a few things that I am taking photos of this year that I already took photos of last year. I guess I need to have more interesting things going on in my life so that I can take pictures of different things.

So back to the candle. I bought it many years ago at Bath & Body Works (back when they sold candles). I have yet to use it. It smells like yummy vanilla. I am sure it won't smell that way once I light it. There is just something about it that makes me smile when I see it.

Lots happening around here. I was just chosen for a 4-month jury duty stint. Just one more thing to add to my ever growing list of obstacles that will keep me from getting caught up on my 365 Days project.

moody

I am in the mood to make something.

I want to make something new and something with yarn. I don't feel like working on any of my old projects. The thing is...I am a planner. But I can plan forever and a day and still not start on anything. I want to make a blanket but there are 2 that I want to make and I could not decide which to start first. I finally made my decision. I then spent pretty much all evening deciding on what yarn to use. Since this yarn is for a blanket I plan to use El-Cheapo yarn. I saw that Jo-Anns had the yarn I want to use on sale. I checked to make sure it was not an online only sale and it was not. Since the new sales always start on Sunday I decided to run down to the local store and buy some yarn tonight, that way I could spend Sunday working on my new project. I got to the store 30-minutes before closing and found that this particular yarn was so NOT on sale. I was pretty disappointed. I guess it was okay though since the store was out of the colors I wanted to buy. So it is back to the drawing board. Maybe I will just order the yarn online, but if I do that it will no longer be El-Cheapo yarn. If I have to order online, I may as well just order the good stuff. :-)

And onto other projects. I have gotten behind with sharing this year's Project 365 photos. Not only here but also on Flickr. I hate when I get behind on updating my photos. Of course this is not anything new. I think it bothers me a bit more this time as I am having a lot more fun taking photos this year.
