Weekend Creative : Feb #1 : the little & big list
A couple weeks ago I read a post by Andrea over at Hula Seventy where she detailed 36 things that happened to her over the last year (she has a tradition of making lists and had recently turned 37). Her focus:
"lovely little (and big) things that snuck up on me from behind and took
me completely by surprise. things I never expected to happen, things I
had no way of knowing I'd do in the course of a year. these are the
things I never really saw coming."
She listed many of them with photos and words (or links) to accompany them. I love this idea. I love the angle. It is a creative way to look back over the last year and a great concept if you want to create a scrapbook page with the content. Check out her post and list here.
This weekend your prompt is to make a list of little & big things that were a part of your 2007. Your list could have as many things on it as you want, but I think the idea of going by your age is a great way to give you a bit of direction. Look back through your photos as a guide and a springboard to remember some of those great little & big things.
I am working on my list right now and will post with an edit in just a bit. Edited on Sunday: still working on my list - using my blog + my iphoto library to jog my memory of different things that happened in 2007.

Thanks for this prompt, it's been good to look back through the photos and remember what happened last year. I've put my little and big list on my blog.

I just checked out her list. Loved what she did with it. Interesting idea since my birthday is just a few days away. I honestly dont think I can remember 30 something things...I am going to try and see where I get. May I will have to be 20 something again!(not complaining) :)

What a great idea! I did a 2007 year-in-review layout a couple weeks ago, but there are no words with it. This will be a great companion for the layout! It's also been a great springboard for several layouts I want to do. Thanks for the inspiration, Ali!

Now want to link them with the pictures that relate to them.
Hope your weekend was great - I am sure it is good to be home!!

Ali, I did something similar to this idea at the end of 2007. My word for the year was Moments, and I posted a list on Jan. 1 of 2007 Moments that were meaningful to me on my blog, www.lovingthelittlemoments.blogspot.com
Just though you would like to know that you made my list: CKU Detroit and Ali's Blog!
My word for 2008 is Inspire. My goal is to be open to inspiration from others, and to inspire others emotionally, creatively, and spiritually. Thank you for your creative inspiration. I took your album track at CKU Prove on 2005 and I will be attending CKU Chicago this March.
