Today is day two of our preparations for our Thanksgiving project. In case you missed yesterday's post, we are planning a project (page or mini) based upon's Sue's gallery layout this month. We are going to check in on our holiday hour by hour to see what we are doing. This is in part because I loved the idea, and in part because last year was an epic fail in the photo department!
So yesterday we prepped the journaling tags. And today we are going to make a list of photos to take. (Have I mentioned how excited I am to have more than one photo to represent our holiday and feast this year?)
Here is the list that I came up with:
- decorations
- turkey
- finished food
- people
- prep
I figure that most of these will be covered as I go hour by hour. I am setting a timer on my phone to remind me that an hour has passed. I know all too well that once a turkey is in and rolls are rising and I start in on the sides that I will forget the photos. Hopefully a beeping alarm will help. I am also planning on telling my kids so they will help remind me. I think that being purposeful is already going to increase my chances of a successful photographic event.
Any thoughts for maximizing succcess? I am all ears!
Only two more days!
