30 Days of Lists Day 1

a fun new class

• Not everyone can make a mini scrapbook every week or an art journal page every night.
• 30 Days of Lists is our encouragement and challenge to you that you CAN journal just something every day- even something as small as a list.
• Every day through the month of September 2012 we will be posting a list prompt – anything from weekend goals to celebrity crushes. At the end of the 30 days you’ll have a collection of entries creating a small snapshot of your life right now.
• Only 5-10 minutes per day are really needed. While you’re waiting for someone, or when you’re the passenger in the car. You can even download the list topics ahead of time to get a jump start!
• That’s all.
• Just write.
• There’s no wrong way to do this and if you don’t like a prompt on a certain day, just change it.

1. Lists keep me sane
2. I love to cross things off! I feel so accomplished!
