{ 001 } :: 325

{ deep breath }

...and here we go...
The beginning of my 365 325 Project for 2012.

It's been much too long since I've picked up my camera just for fun.
So, about ten minutes ago I decided today is the day I will start my 325 Project.
{ ...now that I'm thinking about it, perhaps I should have waited another 4 days, then it could be a 321 Project...oh well...onward we go! }

I really want to keep your expectations low things real and honest, so you'll likely see a lot of patterns, maybe some textures, probably a lot of craft and art supplies, and general everydayness. Some days { like today } I may ramble and carry on and other days it may be just a picture.

I also have no plans to link up anywhere.
That may change, but for now I'm enjoying the freedom that comes with less blogging, less link ups, and more focus on 'real life'. 
It's quite liberating to let go of that desire to be a famous blogger and well known photographer with a blog following in the thousands.

...ok, enough talk. On with the picture...

2-10-12---Pencils

It's { obviously } pencils.
But they're character pencils that came with the kids' Valentine cards: Scooby Doo, Cars and Hello Kitty.
I found them at Michael's for 50% off...which made the 16 pack of cards and pencils a whoppin' $1.50 each!

    Katie, I'm right there with you in your thoughts and absolutely love the idea of 321 {I might have to 'try' it and it would give me a few days to prepare my brain for remembering} :)

    LOVE this simple and brilliant shot, by the way!!

  8. Love it. And good for you being liberated from the blogging burden. It seems at some point everyone gets this desire to become "big". I know I struggled with it a lot before I switched from being a kids crafts blog. When bloggers are true to themselves and do it because they want to, that is when blogging is fun (for you and us). I know I will be here reading along whenever you decide to post.

  13. YAY you for doing this YOUR way and not "their" way! I too gave up the "blogging rules" this year and am doing things on my own terms. I love it! I thought I would miss it some, but more important things filled the time and I can't complain! :) What good I got from blogging last year I kept (experience and FRIENDS!) and that's all I need!

    xoxo
