Day 14

Sorry I'm a bit late today ... had a lie in :D

Two weeks in and we still have lots of happy snappers! I'm truly loving that you're all loving this challenge ...

Today's word prompt is ...

guilty pleasure

We all have them - those little things we know we shouldn't enjoy, but we just do! It might be watching X-Factor, or woofing up the leftover roast potatoes, or maybe just a long bubble bath when you know you should be doing a million other things!

Mine is .... shhhhhh ... Michael Buble! A very guilty pleasure for a girl who likes to think of herself as a bit of a rock chick!

Day 13

Happy Friday the 13th everyone!

Today I want you to show me something ...

inside your fridge!

Here's mine ... not a whole lot going on, and no organisation, but we do have BEER! Waiting for shopping delivery and then it will be nice and full :)

Day 12

**Just a note to everyone - I seem to be having some problems leaving comments!  Some seem to be publishing twice and some not at all ... think blogger is playing silly buggers.  Please be assured I've visited all your blogs and seen all your fab photos :D**

Some of you were intrigued by the course I'm doing ... I did link to it in yesterday's post, but if you're interested you can read about the Altered Bottle Workhop here! Next one starts in March :)

Yesterday was an easy one ... can't have you all slacking off too much though! Today's word is ...

translucent

Show me something translucent in your world today! (I have no idea what I'm going to do for this one!)

Here's mine!  This is the back of my altered bottle so far ... after two stages the glass is now translucent :)

Day 11

The prompt for today is ...

an item of clothing

back later! Rushing out the door on the school run ... day off for me :D

Right, here's mine! Not exactly something I wear every day, but I've just started an online workshop for part of which you have to wear latex gloves ... *evil grin*

Day 10

Well there were lots of water problems around yesterday, weren't there?! Hope everyone is sorted now ... or at least on the way to being sorted!

Today is a double birthday in our house. Both my children were born today ... but they're not twins! There is three years between them and today they turn 13 and 10! One teen and one into double figures! In 8 years time they will turn 21 and 18 on the same day ... we'll have to plan a massive party for that one :)

Anyway, the word of the day has nothing to do with birthdays or celebration. The word today is

metallic

Here's mine! Freddie got a funky new guitar for his birthday ... it has metal(lic!) strings :)

Show me what you've got!

Day 9

It's back to work for me today *sad face* (I had a few extra days off because of the heating debacle) so I'm testing out a scheduled post ... hopefully this will appear at 6am :).

So, first of all, I had a couple of you asking how I choose the word of the day. My original intention was to have a whole bunch of words in a jar, and pick one out at random each day. So it would be as much of a surprise to me as it was to you. But then I got involved with the photography challenge on UKScrappers, and I wanted those who wanted to follow both Snap: 2012 and 365+1 to be able to do so without much more effort. Snap: 2012 centres round a weekly theme, so the easiest way to merge the two was to have the daily word fit in with the theme. So I went into super-planning-overdrive and planned out 52 weeks worth of themes, with 7 words each week that fit that theme. Unfortunately this took out the spontaneity for myself - I know all the words in advance, but I'm still taking the photo on the day. It seems to be working well so far (I did swap out yesterday's word ...). I absolutely know that there will come a time when this becomes a drag and many of you will drop out for a while and I will WANT to give up, but I promise to keep posting at least the word every day :D

Anyway ... as I mentioned, today sees me returning to work after the Christmas break (I'm extremely lucky to work term-time only!), and also marks the beginning of the pre-holiday-in-the-sunshine healthy eating quest. One of the changes I'll be making is to drink more ...

water

Think literally or laterally, interpret as you wish or not at all ... my photo will be up when I get home from work (hopefully).

Here it is! How much water did I manage to drink today?

Day 8

Woohoo! We made it through week one!  I've been so thrilled with everyone's enthusiasm for this challenge, and LOVE seeing all your photos!  It's amazing to see how differently everyone interprets the word of the day.

Today, my heating is fixed (yay!) and I am sitting here in the dark (three teenagers asleep on sofas/floor) drinking a cup of coffee (that green tea box from yesterday?  Anyone know where it is?!  hehe) and it feels very ....

cosy

So there you go! It's Sunday, there must be some cosying up going on!

Here's three teens looking very cosy:
