30 Days of Lists
16 Apr 2014
30 Days of Lists is one of my favorite projects. It happens a few times a year (usually in March and September), and the idea is very simple: there’s a prompt every day, and you make your list however you like! The most fun part is sharing them–I love seeing others’ lists and have made some truly wonderful friends through this project. Also, this year I got my mom and my aunt to list along with me, which was really fun! Now that the project has wrapped, I thought I would share a few of my favorite lists. I am totally laughing at the different lighting on each one–usually I was taking photos late at night and scrambling to find an Instagram filter that made the words legible.
We actually hit a lot of the highlights on this list during our trip to Carlsbad. I hope we’ll hit the rest of them in Hawaii!
Ah, nostalgia!
I’m so happy that this precious day was recorded here.
This was a fun one.
And this one too!
This is an almost totally random smattering of my lists, but I wanted to record a bit of the project here (and also hopefully entice you all to do it with me in September!) It’s an amazing fact that creativity flourishes under limitations. It is incredible to see the range of lists that people come up with. Everyone has one page and one topic, but every single list is different. That’s the kind of inspiration I’ll sign up for whenever I have the chance.

I loved these lists, thanks for sharing them. My favorite one was of your childhood games. I thought the summer camp was brilliant too but it was your mother that was the inspiration for that one.

Of course! I can show you my book next time you are here. Some of the ones I wanted to include I just didn’t have good pictures of! Maybe my kids can have their own summer camp someday:)

Gosh, I love lists. I enjoyed reading yours on Instagram. I missed the start of this past one but I did add some lists in my journal as everyone else was doing theirs. I think next time I do it I will do something simple like yours so I keep up with it. I always start off so strong…lol.

I know what you mean! Usually I try to just put the book together before I start because I know if I don’t, I’ll get overwhelmed! But I have plenty of other projects languishing around here to illustrate that point! Would love to have you in on the next one!
