Projects


Some projects that I decided that I would engage in this summer.  I think these are really great ideas and will be truly enriching experiences.  I initially got the ideas from "strawberries and buttercups" who got them from the respective sites listed below.

The first challenge is a 30-day journal challenge where you respond to writing prompts each day.  I think this will be a process of 'healing' in a way since the prompts force you to reflect on some deep parts of yourself.  If you are interested in this challenge, go "The year of the pumpkins arrived late"

My First Entry:


The following challenge, most of you have probably seen since many people are participating.  It's the photo a day challenge.  I missed June, but will participate in July!  Check it out  at "fat mum slim"

I also am doing the "50 challenge" where you throw out 50 different things in your house to 'de-clutter.'  One section of the house at a time.  I found it on Lolalina's blog and it's based on a book called "Throw Out Fifty Things," by Gail Blanke.  I have accumulated too much clutter that needs to be tossed!


Are there any projects that you are working on that you would recommend?

  1. I love projects like these! I have just started 100 things from Keri Smith and thanks to your post I am going to join in with the July photo a day challenge (I love the sound of that) and probably the 30 day journal challenge. So exciting :) Looking forward to seeing your challenges progress :)

  2. I'm glad you liked the idea of the projects I've done so far, I'm going to try and do one a month but its just a case of finding the ideas. Next month involves envelopes and then like little bobbins mentioned I hope to do the 100 thing by kerri smith too. It just gives me the chance to try new things :)

    1. thanks! and yes, de-cluttering, but it's going quite slowly... It's supposed to make it easier to tackle one section of the house at a time, but finding the motivation to do it is still tough. haha! I hope to be completely decluttered by the end of the summer though

  4. Mmmh, I think I'm going to do a 'one pin per week' kind of 'challenge'. Which basically consist of picking out one pin (you pinned on Pinterest) and making that. I suck at explaining, sorry. Haha.
