**THROWBACK POST**

Missing the date – 2015 or 2016 perhaps ???

One thing I LOVE to do and find fun is getting freshly dried, warm towels out of the dryer and folding them. I LOVE inhaling the clean, fresh, warm scent and most times I drape the larger towels over my head and relish in the scent and warmth.

I feel gratitude mirror one another. My son was complaining one time about taking the trash out. I suggested he switch up his thoughts to think how grateful he is that we have trash; as that means we had food to eat and the things that help make us comfortable. GREAT topic Yvon!! xoxo

Throwback Post: Thomas Did It – 365 Photo a Day Project – Biggest Little Photographer

**Update – He’s finished; but I’m not! Still trying to get caught up. Thomas did it for 365 days. What an amazing, beautiful, BIG memory and memories this has created. If you’re interested in seeing all 365, check out his instagram account. I’m behind on posting them here … https://instagram.com/ThomasADarnell/

This was all his idea. Says he was inspired by reading an article that one of my friends forwarded to us.

When Thomas began this LEGO photographer a day journey I told him that if he completed the full 365 days we would make it into a real book. I didn’t know how I was going to pay for it, but knew it would all work out. I haven’t mentioned the book on here, just in the comments to the LEGO album. A few weeks ago I received a message from a sweet soul in which she said she wanted to offer monetary help to get this book published. (**Update** – I’ve now received two offers of assistance. Thank YOU lovely spirits!)

I know how the details work with publishing a book since I published “D iz for Different” back in 2012, but I’m not skilled in certain aspects. Things like, adjusting the photos so they are book quality as some of them are grainy, the layout of the book, and editing, and the best route for publishing a color book. I’m not sure Createspace (Amazon) is the most economical way to go for a color book. I already have ISBN numbers and will want to use my own. We would love to hear your suggestions … xoxo

He’s also posting on Instagram daily. Here’s Thomas’ first blog post about it. http://thomasadarnell.com/2014/03/10/photo-a-day-post-1/ .. Thomas is using an iPhone 3G for taking the photos and then uploading to Instagram and applying whichever Instagram filter he feels brings out the photo the best.
