Remember my big plans to capture September by taking a photo a day? Finding the time to take a photo a day proved harder than I thought. Not even 1 single photo was taken. Nada. I got off to a bad start when my camera broke. September just kind of got away from me. Excuses. I was working twelve hour days between my job and blog designs, several court appearances created a major nuisance and then car shopping for the kids got added to the mix. More excuses.
This past Saturday I enter daughter's bedroom.
Me: "I kinda have a problem."
Daughter: "What is it?"
Me: "I said I was going to take a photo a day for Sept. for blogging and haven't taken a single photo."
Daughter: "Do it next month."
Me: "I could, but I invited others to take the challenge too. I totally dropped the ball. I could take 31 photos today." The procrastinator in me has won yet again.
We laugh and I decide to just try again in October. The good news? October in New England is glorious! Things should slow down a bit in October and there is nothing more relaxing than strolling with a camera. Care to join me for real this time?
Current giveaway: Enter to win a set of bangles from Stella + Dot.
I have a select amount of space available for advertisers beginning October 1st. Email me with questions.
Look forward to seeing the pictures you take, Debby. You know, some times things don't turn out like we planned.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week.

I think i need to actually get in on this challenge as well as i rarely ever take pictures of anything. This should give me more motivation to buy a camera :)

Hmmmmmm......I JUST MIGHT DO THIS DEAREST, since Ruben just ordered me a NEW CANON!!!! I hope that I can finally take my OWN PICTURES! This just may help me practice!!!! You are so dear.....that first picture, OMG that wooden entrance!!! Anita
ReplyDeleteDebby I wouldn't worry about dropping the ball we all have lives and sometimes they get busy. I'm noticing from you it only takes a minute to tie someone to you and then a lifetime to get rid of them...what is up with that?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this gorgeous day!

I wouldn't worry about it...I actually forgot you were going to do that until you mentioned it. Maybe you should try once a week. That seems more realistic. It could be a Friday picture!
ReplyDeleteYou're so right! New England in October cannot be missed! Can't wait to see what you have- but if you don't do it in October, I'm sure November is even more beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh dear friend... life is what happens when are busy making plans... don't worry, yes October is an other month and if you miss a few days .. OH well ... life continues. Please do not put more pressure on yourself. I'm learning this myself... I often wish I could blog more, visit more and comment more and also write more posts ... but life happens! xo C. HHL
ReplyDeleteI think it is honourable to acknowledge what you cant do and tackle it next month! I look forward to seeing your pics in October!
ReplyDeleteI have a long list of things I was supposed to do that never got done...including PS, a post for you- so so sorry - this whole pregnancy thing has gotten the better of me...can I do a fall one instead of a summer number?
ReplyDeleteI've dropped the ball on everything in life this month! I so know how you feel. No worries though. There's always tomorrow and I can't wait to see all of your gorgeous fall photos :)
ReplyDeleteHope you're doing well, Debby! Have a fabulous start to the week xoxo
I'm glad that it works out better to take photos in Oct instead of September. I can just imagine how absolutely gorgeous they will be!
ReplyDeleteCheers!

We all drop the ball every now and again Debby :) Just pick it up and keep going! I love these photos.. that kitchen is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHappy new week!
I'm new to your site so I hadn't heard about the picture a day, but this is a great idea and I think I'll try to do it for my own blog. I really do forget to take pictures even with the opportunity is there. Hey, October is a great month for photography.

October is perfect! I never thought I'd get a post in on Sunday for my other blog…got it in by the hair of my chinny chin chin! Now I'm fretting over What If Wednesdays! However…with all we have going on I've made myself take a step back and determine what is really important! I think you've done the same! No matter when you post pics we will all be there to see and look very forward to them!
ReplyDeleteThat's OK Debby! Sometimes even though we have the best intentions...life happens and other things must take priority. Be gentle with yourself. I hope you are treating yourself to a long luxurious bubble bath every evening after being on your feet all day. I love the exchanges you share between your daughter and you. You two sound like you have a close relationship. That's so wonderful. XO
ReplyDeleteHA! I did the same thing! I thought I'd take a photo of day of different shots of my village in September as a way to get better at taking photos and to have more to blog about, and I totally forgot! I'll do it in October with you :)
