Project 52: Week 45 - 52

Here's my last big wrap-up. I've been adding them to this post, just because I wanted to finish it all in one go. So here's the last two months of my Project 52!

Week 45: Book Title. An old collection. I've got too many books, and many of my old ones from highschool stay here at home. Pretty self-explanatory.

Week 46: Over the Top. My Aunt P goes way overboard with Christmas. Gifts, especially. This is about a third of her presents that I wrapped for her. This was one of my good deeds for Christmas haha, to try and reduce her stress level! Taken with Blackberry and taken from Facebook, so the quality sucks lol.

Week 47: Water. The Christmas lights reflecting on the harbour are one of the prettiest things ever, but the water is rarely still enough to get a good reflection. Here's one of the best I managed to get.

Week 48: Twinkle Twinkle. I was going to use a Christmas tree image for this, but I was so fascinated by the glitter on these bushes. It's really faint, and you can't see it well enough, but driving by these was so pretty. The frost had formed quickly on the branches and all down this deserted road was a glittery pathway. This is no flash and just headlights, I think. Too bad it didn't work!

Week 49: Tradition. This has been a tradition from way before I was born. My parents and grandparents would have one, or several, B-52 shots before and after Christmas Eve mass. I've taken part in the past couple of years. We have a couple of rounds together and over the phone with the rest of my Dad's family, then head to bed and wait for Santa.





Week 50: Festive Colors. The lights of the tree, behind tinsel and ornaments and bokeh'd out. Prettyyyyy.

Week 51: Holiday Cheer. Another easy picture. People are home, shed parties are happening, it's a good time. I am from the Bay and I am proud of it haha.

Week 52: What Life is All About. These are the two people who matter most to me, with the third close behind taking the picture. Family and friends are the most important thing, always.

I hope you've all enjoyed my Project 52! I didn't always post on time or even in the right month or sequence, but I enjoyed being challenged like this. Definitely a fun thing to take part in.

Happy New Year to all my readers and friends! I hope 2012 is amazing for you and brings you everything you're hoping for :)

Til next time!

Project 52: Week 42, 43 & 44

More catching up on my posting. Here's some picture spam! 

Week 42: True Beauty

Week 43: Shadows

Week 44: Muted Tones

Project 52: Week 39, 40 & 41

Week 39: Man vs. Nature. The beautiful weather just shows the irony of this picture. The boat versus the lifesaver, the fishermen versus the sea.

Week 40: Vintage. Even though this picture was taken during the summer, the fog and feel of the picture could be 20 years ago. Fishing is and always will be part of my sleepy small town.

Week 41: Architecture. I didn't see anything I liked, but then I saw this. The staircase at the Ryan Mansion, an absolutely beautiful house. 

Til next time!

Project 52: Week 36, 37 & 38

Still a bit of a failure at life. I left for Toronto and didn't have the Week 36 picture finished because I had a specific image in mind, and then subsequently forgot this project existed! One more set of catch-ups after this.

Week 36: Thirst for Knowledge. I didn't get quite what I wanted for this but this works too! Boyfriend's first time in a big museum, seeing dinosaur bones. He was quite excited :)

Week 37: Momentous Moments. Seeing Keith in concert reminds me how badly I wish I was up there. It's a momentous feeling, for me.

Week 38: It's in the Eyes. Pretty simple. 

Til next time!

Project 52: Week 33, 34 & 35

The theme for Week 33 is a bit of a retrospective. Slow Down and Look Back encourages us to stop and look around us. I chose a photo I took while out home for this one. It's taken up where my old elementary school used to be, before it burned down. Being home makes me relax and enjoy my boredom that naturally occurs. I remember so many things about this road, playing with friends, and I have so many memories of that school. Having a mother who was a teacher, and a best friend in the same situation, meant we spent a lot of time after hours searching around the hallways. The same way I can look back at pictures I can see a place and the memories are right there, coming back to me.

Week 34 is Connections. I was thinking about how to approach this. Connections can be seen in the way that someone looks at you, or even just the way you act around each other. They can be visible too, holding hands or being linked. This one just shows the link we have together, even not being together it's still there.

Week 35 is Lazy. I know this one well so it was pretty easy. This pup was lazing in the shade, almost underneath the car. The epitomy of lazy and small-towns.

Til next time!

Project 52: Week 30, 31 & 32

Alright. Giant fail on my part in keeping up with my Project 52. I don't really feel bad either, because school is more important. I basically just missed the entirety of August. Plus one week. I'll be caught up by Friday's picture. In this case, because I'm making up lost time, any pictures I took in August or take up to Friday are going to count in my book. I get to make my own rules when I'm not following any.

Week 30 is Letters. I love words so this one makes me all kinds of happy. Yet I still forgot to do it. Oh well. This one doesn't really need much explanation I think. Lots of lyrics are coming to my mind about words, but I think I'll leave them there. Taken with Blackberry.

Week 31's theme was the sky. Or the sky in any interpretation. I had a few photos in mind, but this one from my weekend in Toronto seemed to work the best. I've actually changed it several times. This was out the window on the plane, the sky was just so prettyyyy.

Week 32 is your favourite time of day. I had to do some thinking about this one, actually. I have different favourites depending on what I'm doing I think. I don't like mornings, but I like being on the go and getting my day started. I hate driving home from work because of the traffic, but the sky starts to get to that point where it's so pretty. This is around 6:30 or so at home, I just liked the way the light hits in this photo.

Til next time!

Project 52: Week 28 & 29

The theme for Week 28 is Sweet Relief. I like that the themes are broad enough that you can take the literal meaning or go somewhere totally outside the box and creative. I tend to stick with a more literal meaning, but looking through the Flickr group is so inspiring!

Okay, this one was taken a day early, but that's what busy weeks do to you...I forget to take pictures sometimes! This fits so well I'm just going to bend the rules anyways. Not like it's my first time exactly :P This was taken in Bannerman Park while I was on the swingset, just being childish and having too much fun at a playground. So needs to happen more this summer!

Week 29's photo is "Get In Close". Being that I'm a huge fan of macro photography, it surprised me that I didn't end up doing something macro. I had a photo taken in mind, but due to it being on my Mom's camera I don't have access to the file! This one summarizes my weekend home though. I was out for the MIL's 50th birthday. Lots of family to meet, lots of pictures taken, very few outfit shots (though I was bringing my A-game to impress the in-laws). I can't help but always take pictures of the decorations, and that's where this came from!

 

Til next time! 

Project 52: Week 27

I really am taking the pictures on time, I swear. I just keep forgetting to upload!

Week 27 was Nature's Finest. Being from Newfoundland, I can't go far without being reminded how beautiful this province is. The day the theme was released was super hot for NL standards, and thus me and the boy were out driving around. We stopped in St. Phillips where he snapped this shot. The water is freezing and it is the Atlantic, but it is still so clear and pure. And it smells so good.

Clearly you can see this beach is not typical. Very rocky. Outfit post from this day to follow!

Til next time!

Project 52: Week 26

This one's basically on time! Finally!

So, Week 26 is Hidden Objects. I decided to include a picture I took yesterday while boyfriend and his buddies were out having a kick. They may look like soccer players, young energetic men but in reality they are hiding the truth: they're all useless and lazy :)

Hehehe. I kid, they're all pretty good. But playing hungover never helps anyone lol.

Til next time!

Project 52: Week 25

So, another week that's slightly related to food. This week's theme is Crave. I'm craving summer, and heat, and relaxation, and all things summer-related (and soft serve ice cream from my Dad's convenience store but that's yet to happen...I want to go hommeeeeee) so this is definitely summing up my cravings!

Anyways, here's my contribution for this week! Technically it's last week, but I think I'll have this week's picture done soon. I know I always say that, but I try, and that's what counts right?

hot dogs for supper. no sun, but at least it tastes like summer.

Til next time! 

Project 52: Week 24

Week 24's theme made me drool when looking at the Flickr group! The theme was "Make It Tasty", which I obviously loved. I was thinking about making all kinds of delicious food to get a perfect picture but didn't end up having time, as school decided to kick my ass. Here's my take on something that is so super tasty, a local pub/inn restaurant with the best hot turkey ever!

Drooling yet? Stay tuned for more updates from me, promise I'm going to try to not be useless!

Til next time!

Project 52: Week 23

This week I actually had a creative idea! What a concept. I didn't get exactly what I wanted because the fog lifted a little by the time I got to take a picture. But I think it turned out pretty well. The outfit is Galaxy of Dots dress from Anthro, one of my two pieces. Flats are from Europe and I don't even remember where, but you'll be seeing them again :) This week's theme is Enchantment. I think this fits pretty well, don't you?

Til next time!

Project 52: Week 21 & 22

Week 21 - Need for Speed. I got so frustrated by this one, and ended up doing something simple. Here's the irony of driving; everyone has a need for speed and yet gets stuck in traffic daily.

Week 22: Reflection. Pretty self explanatory. Me and the boy looking over the water in Bay Bulls. Will be posting an outfit from this day soon!

 

Another post completed! I have my Week 23 picture just about done, have to edit a little before I post! 

Til next time!

Project 52: Week 19 & 20

Almost caught up! I only have this week's picture left to takeeee. Yayyyyy.

Week 19: Window Light. Car wash in my Dad's new antique. Sounds better than new old car. I love how the foam splatters on, did not love how the windows leak slightly though. I guess that's what happens when the car is a '77.

Week 20: Spring Fever. This is from a OOTD session a few weeks back, but this epitomizes spring/summer for me. My parents were in, and my mother did laundry and took advantage of the clothesline. This to me means that spring is here, and summer is on the way. Memories like this, of bedsheets hanging full length from my mother's line at home, are all throughout my childhood. Plus, I love her for doing my laundry!!!

All caught up now :) Tomorrow I'll be posting the coming week, Need for Speed! I wonder what I'll be capturing this week...

Til next time!

Project 52: Week 17 & 18

So I'm only a couple of weekends behind. That's not bad, considering I was on vacation. I allow it, since I did take a couple of the pictures while I was on vacay. Scheduled posting when the pictures are supposed to be taken in a time limit isn't so easy. So, I'll shut up now, and here's weeks 17 and 18!

Week 17: Princess for a Day! This one's taken with my Blackberry, excuse the photo quality. This was pedi's my Aunts and I had while I was in Moncton. I think any pampering or spa treatments like this make you feel like a princess! My color is my favourite, it's OPI Cajun Shrimp. Now to find it...

Week 18: First thing in the Morning. Now, ideally I would have liked to get to Cape Spear to get the sunrise. That did not happen. This is definitely out of order but it's the closest to first thing as I get haha.

On the way to Bangor

That's it for now! Still trying to catch up! 

Til next time!

Project 52: Week 16

Week 16: Furry Friends. Now they've made me a photo repeater. Lovely. This one's pretty self-explanatory, and I don't have any other pets. I have had several but Em's the cutest. I wanted to do a comparison of my puppy from when she was little to now, but didn't think of it til I got back in town. Oh well.

Slightly annoyed at me. I believe I had toast that I wouldn't share. She likes to be fed, clearly. Or maybe it was the giant camera pointing at her...I never know.

Til next time!

Project 52: Week 15

Week 15: How others see you. This one is a little touchy for me sometimes. I definitely have a different perception of myself than others do. I wonder who's right?

Lazy shadow, taken with my BB Bold.

Til next time!

Project 52: Week 14

see any shapes? I think I just see blobs of plaster goo.

A slightly strange picture and a slightly different post. This week's theme was Fusion. I had a few ideas that didn't work, so last minute it was! This is the current state of my living room wall, being fused into a flat surface after being covered with plaster. It will be painted. I cannot wait for that day.

Off to bed for me! Long day tomorrow followed by intense partying with my bestie. So very excited, but I definitely need to prepare myself. If I survive I'll post again soon!

Til next time!

Project 52: Week 13

Project 52 this week was "Just for Fun"! Lots of different options for this, and clearly the posting on Thursday thing isn't working out. I'll settle for Saturday? Haha. I have several pictures that I could use, but this one takes the cake. It's terrible. So so bad. But if it makes someone laugh at my ridiculousness, that will do. 

Click on through for the hilarity...really, it's worth it. 

Project 52: Week 12

"From The Jewelry Box" is this week's theme. I figured out what I'd take a picture of when I heard the theme. However since the boy got home I got a little behind on things, and taking it. Oh well. Also forced to take it with the BB since my camera is dead, currently charging.

Anyways here it is! Each of my pieces in this photo means something different to me, and since I've started wearing more of my jewelry I find I appreciate it all more.

Off to start painting! I'm redoing the lime green in my bathroom, because I no longer appreciate having a green tinge when I'm trying to do my make-up. Orange sherbet is up next, let's hope it goes well!
