A Challenge

Colin gave me a challenge this Christmas- take a photo a day for the next year, and he will get me a new camera body. I'm just a bit excited.

However, the last few days I've been sick. So my photos consist of this-



This was when my temperature was finally going down...




I did not want to spend the last few days of my winter break with the flu. It is not fun. But I still am taking a photo a day!

And thank you Keri and Josh for the fluffy socks.

Clutter

I've been observing other people's decorating choices of late. I knew we have a lot of things hanging up on our walls, and sitting on our tables and things, but I didn't realize how much until visiting friends in our ward the past couple months.

We have some 26 wall spaces in our apartment, maybe more depending on how you may define wall space. Only 5 of them don't have anything hanging on them. Three of those five are walls with very large windows and very large window treatments. The other two are in our entryway/hallway and have doors in them.

But when I say our walls have things hanging on them, I don't mean one photo or painting. I mean- we have stuff hanging on our walls.














Both Colin and I come from families that hang stuff on our walls. But after our dinner tonight where in all the house I saw only one thing hanging on one wall, (and in visiting others who have similar decor- if any) I wonder if we have crossed some aesthetic line... Or do we just have too much stuff?
