Ten on Ten: January 2011

Welcome to my first ever Ten on Ten!

Moments after waking- had to go check out the first snowfall of the winter!



Um, Ty... I don't think the UV light will reach your toothbrush that way!



Why are there disassembled washing machine parts in our front room? Don't ask.



Ah, caffeine. Thank you, my afternoon pick-me-up!



The dreaded meal list- for once I feel confident we may actually stick to it! The Poison Control magnet bears no relevance to my cooking... promise!



My little monster girl... so sweet!



Thank you Lord for Graycop's day off, and Mommy's subsequent "stay dry" moment...



S to the -tarbucks...



Is it bedtime yet??



I wish a step stool solved all of my grown-up dilemmas!



How fun was that? See you in February!

Street Photography Now Project

This year, I am trying to expand my horizons with my photography. To take a look at some subject matter outside of my two beautiful girls. To take pictures of things I normally would not. I stumbled upon this project just before the end of the year, and decided to just jump in. The Street Photography Now Project revolves around, well, street photography... something I don't know a whole lot about, but would like to learn. From what I've gathered from reading so far, it lends itself very well to someone who lives in a large city. Small town Kansas... it's going to be a stretch! But, I figured I have nothing to lose.

Each week, they provide a prompt, and you may submit one taken that week. I hope to learn more and more about what qualifies a photo into the genre as time goes on. For now, I look to the prompts for photographic inspiration and go with it. If it gets accepted into the group, great. If it's disqualified (as my first attempt was), that's OK, too. So, when you see "Instruction #..." in a blog title post, you'll know what's up.

Well, Hello There...

Hello, and welcome to Sweet Peas & Sassafras: Project 365! Some of you may be familiar with my main site, Sweet Peas & Sassafras. Glad you stopped here. This blog is going to serve as a platform for my photography journey this year. I have many things planned, and I hope it will inspire you to try some new things yourselves!

This will be my first attempt at a Project 365, so we'll just have to see how it all unfolds. I intentionally chose a no frills, no fuss template- it's all about the pictures here. My goal is to take a picture every day. Plain and simple. Whatever inspired me. Whatever I'm feeling that day. It'll be posted. Hopefully {relatively} on schedule. Forgive me for the delay already- HA!

I will also be sharing from some other challenges I plan to take part in: Ten on Ten, Street Photography Now Project, Willette {the joy of LOVE} class, Project Life, and anything else that catches my eye!

Hope you enjoy the ride!
