Since my parents died, I've been tasked with going through their old photos and mine as well. I've learned a lot about myself and family from them. But what drives me nuts is the fact that so many of the photos, mine included, have no notation on who, when or where. And the really sad part is that there is no one left to ask about the old photos. I wish I had started this project years ago.

So the thought of taking a "Photo A Day" and then scrapping & journaling it was intriguing. The more I thought about it the more I liked the idea. I take tons of photos but not everyday so that, and creating a seven-image layout a week, will be the challenge. It will also give me a reason to share photos that typically reside only on my hard drives. Click on an image to enlarge photo. Download Layout Credits.
