I was plugging right along with my Souvenir Foto Project: Alphabet Edition until yesterday. I decided upon a book theme, which is okay. I wouldn’t do it again. I’m having fun, of course, but I’m losing the spontaneity I adore. I like to take pictures and write a short story around them, similar to what I did with yesterday’s post and what I did the last time I did the A-Z format. This time, not only am I forcing myself to go in alphabetical order, my narrow subject matter means I often scramble to make something fit. I prefer my projects to be more organic, less structured.
Yesterday was a blur of a day. I was out of the house for most of it, running around town trying to strike items off my to-do list before Nicholas’s birthday party on Friday and our tax appointment on Thursday. Because I decided upon a book theme–in alphabetical order!–none of the pictures I took worked. What I wanted to take a picture of sat in Nicholas’s bookshelf, mocking me in the waning daylight, while I drove to from the health food store to practice.
Oh well, live and learn.
(C is for The Chronicles of Narnia)
(D is for Diccionario, Dictionnaire, and Dictionary)
(E is for Elmer, The Patchwork Elephant)
Actually, I really quite love that first photo–it hints of fantasy, and life bathed in magic. Perfect for The Chronicles of Narnia!
Love those books. Sadie has a few of the Elmer books…so cute. Great pics too!
I love that first photo! It’s magical.
Is there more to this A-Z post? How did I miss this???
I posted Bis for Books on Friday, but didn’t bother with A. I haven’t bothered sharing most of the pictures, since I didn’t know if they would be too random/boring for posts.
Sorry the project is not going as you’d like, but any day that starts with a picture of the Chronicles of Narnia is a good day for me!
You don’t have to have a theme Miss Jules, just sayin’;)
I know, but now I am committed and I wanted to have something that would look cohesive at the end of the project.
as i scrolled by i tried to guess what letter each photo represented. i came up with cuddles, display and enjoyment. close, but not quite right.
Aw, but I like yours better.
I absolutely loved coming to your blog and seeing one of my children’s favorite books. “Elmer” was given to me when my daughter was born and has quickly become a family favorite.
Isn’t that series fantastic? Nicholas loves them! He has an Elmer stuffed animal that he sleeps with every night, too.
