Here is the link: http://www.debbiehodge.com/classmaterials/katrina/TTLClassPreview.pdf
You can either take a new picture or use a pic you already have.
These are the questions:
I discovered that before I took each of my photos Ithought about 4 things:
1. What do I see?
2. How does it make me feel?
3. What meaning does it have for me?
4. What does it make me want to do? She also gives a list of things to photograph. I already have pics of toys, food, favorite chair, mailbox and cats.
I have five projects for journaling going on right now, hopefully I'll getsomething finished for this before midnight. Probably about kittens!

Firsts - write about a first. Perhaps your child's first tooth, first step, first word, or first day of school. Or a first for you - first love, first date, first car ( I was going to say first marriage - but I didn't!) And, I am giving a few easy tips that apply to the August Challenge - how to write five lines of journaling.
When I teach boys how to write, I tell them to draw ( or look ) at their hand. First, we start with the pinkie , which is kindof a hook. We need a hook to draw the reader's attention, sometimes a question or an exclamatory sentence - get a little bit of excitement going! 2nd finger,write an introduction or statement of your story. Now you have two fingers or two lines to be descriptive - use your five senses! When we get to the thumb, we write a concluding statement, concisely summarizing our story. Here is my sample: really thought that after fifty, there wouldn't be any great FIRSTS!!
But my first homemade from scratch pumpkin pie from the first pumpkin grown in my own garden was a delicious surprise! As it baked, the house was filed with adelicious aroma. The pie looked so tempting and the texture was so smooth andcreamy. It called out to me to taste it! Delectable! My belief in FIRSTS hasbeen restored! When I printed it landscape, it came out to five lines.

Trisha has inspired me - today we will write about WALKING SHOES!!! Ok, you can journal about any athletic subject, about yourself or anyone else. OR you can start an exercise journal, here are some :http://walking.about.com/library/day/xdiary.htmhttp://www.health-fitness-tips.com/downloads/HFTNutritionFitnessLog.pdfhttp://www.alldietsource.com/DietPlan/Journals/Exercise%20Journal.pdfhttp://images.teamsugar.com/static/imgs/fitjournal.pdf And here is part of my journaling:
RUNNING SHOES
When I was a kid, the shoes to have were PF Flyers. Keds were ok, and Converse made high top basketball shoes. Actually, they were called sneakers. Addidas and Tretorn made tennis shoes. In the 1980’s, the running shoe was invented. I was working two jobs â€" 60 hours a week â€" and going to school. I was running all over New York City. I am the person who invented wearing running shoes with work attire. I wore running shoes under my sterile shoecovers in the hospital, then with a dress as I ran down to Bloomies, and then Iactually did more running with them when I worked out with the NY RoadrunnersClub. I always thought it was very apropos that we did our post run stretchesat the Church of the Heavenly Rest. But the reason I made running shoes a fashion statement was due to a little store on 59th St. Before Nike came out with their waffle trainers, this shop sold basic running shoes with simple linesâ€" that were dyed all kinds of fashion colors and shipped in from Korea. I would take orders from my co-workers in the Bronx and buy half a dozen pair aweek. I am willing to take full credit for establishing this practical fad!
My lo will be uploaded later today. I did upload my project from Sunday and I did work on yesterday's as well.

It's done all the time in magazines, andI've wanted to do it, but never have written anything down.
Here's mine:
Trevor, how do you like your new High School?"

"Oh, what is her name?"
"I don't know her name."
"Which of your classes is she in?"
"She's not in any of my classes."
"Well, where did you talk to her?"
"Uh, I never talked to her. We passed each other in the hall and she turned around and looked at me."
"Ok, Trevor. Here are some dating rules. First, you have to know the girl'sname AND you have to talk to her before you go out on a date."
"Oh, I can do that!"
I hope to do a lo today after we get make from the coin show in LA.

New Journalinfg Prompt Challenge - Intro
Intro
The greatest minds of WhoGas met yesterday and concluded that we need a journaling challenge! I (Joanne) volunteered to attempt to run it - wish me luck!
The challenge is informal - the goal is to write something everyday. The writing may be typical scrapbook journaling, writing in a health / diet journal,nature journal, gardening journal or a diary journal - whatever you would like.
We'll start by first selecting where to write down our words. You can digitallyrecord your thoughts, but most of us enjoy tangible items. I started an album in the photo section and I placed pics of two commercially available journals. There are all types of journals that you can purchase, as well as journal templates for diet, exercise, etc. that are available online. I am going to try to carry a journal with me whenever ever possible so I can jot down both facts and random thoughts, especially when I am taking pictures.I hope to post one link per day.
Today, it is from Donna Salazaar and Fiskars on how to decorate a composition book.http://fiskarscrafts.com/tv/Click on episode 98. I (Joanne) made a journal for Raymond and posted a pic in thealbum. If you post a picture of your journal ( whatever it may be) - give yourself five points for today's challenge.
Posting your journaling is optional, as it may be personal. If your journaling is on a blog or online somewhere else, you could post a link. When I include my journaling as a sample, I'll put it in the post. The challenge will be point based and you track your own points. Since I'm making this up as I go along, I don't have a point chart - yet.
But so far, it is:
Responding to a prompt : 5 pts
If you journal, but not to the day's prompt : 4pts ( can be combined with above for 9 pts)
Posting in some way your journaling :1 pt
Posting a pic of your altered journal, homemade journal, lo, or other art item : 5 pts
All posts and uploads are due within 5 days of the original prompt.If you have questions on how to post pics or any other question that you don't want posted, pm me at raymondmom@msn.com.

Week 28 - Document a Day in Your Life
Week #28 – Document a Day in Your Life
How do you spend a typical day? I know, you may think your life is just the same old, same old…but others in your family may not think so and may be fascinated with all the details that make up your daily routine! Try creating a page that chronicles a day in your life…it would be worth it!
* A Word From Elsie *
For an easy way to document a day in your life, just make a photocopy of your day planner or of a grocery list or to-do-list. I know you might think it would look messy, but think about how cool it would be if your kids discovered it one day. And, you can also make a little hidden journaling slot for it, too!

Week # 18 - Scraplift a Layout Shape
Week # 18 - Scraplift a Layout Shape
Okay…I told you it was beginning to get a little repetitive. We took a look at this challenge in week #12 and I guess we are revisiting it again this week! Looking at the example in the book, it now makes a little bit more sense to me. Look at a layout and look at the overall design. For example, if you have a layout that has one large circle on the left side of the page, one large photo to the right with the circle overlapping, and whether it be large journaling boxes or journaling strips towards the bottom.Is that hard to imagine? Try it! Take a look at a layout in our gallery or another persons gallery off the site. If you participate in this weeks challenge, I would like to see a link posted so we can see what you scraplifted.

52 Week Challenge - Weeks 16, 17, & 18
Week # 16 – Scraplift a Topic
Again, this is another example that is illustrated in the book. The example that is used in the book is the topic of how much one loves their camera, so she scraplifted that topic.
Choose ANY topic and scrap it! Maybe the challenge should had said, scraplift a SUBJECT instead! =)

Week #17 – Scraplift an Alphabetical Approach
Elsie loves how “Julie) used so many different types of letters on her page. She also loved how she customized them to fit her personal style. Experiment with letters on a scrapbook page, and make them your own by embellishing them in a way that suits your scrapbooking personality! (So…basically choose a letter in the alphabet, attempt to use several in your layout maybe as a focal point?)
Joanne
Week #18 – Scraplift a Page DesignElsie likes to challenge herself by pushing limits of what a scrapbook page can be. Blank space on a layout can be super effective. Try something different by leaving a lot of blank space on a page

WhoGas Has a Blog!
I must explain the name!
You may be asking what is a WhoGas!? Well unfortunately it IS the acronym for WhoGivesaScrap!
It is one of my other home away from home place! It is now home to many other wonderful ladies in my group.
I started this group August 26, 2007 after shutting down Inland Empire Scrap Group. I changed the name because I wanted to meet people also outside of the Inland Empire. True enough...MOST of us on the board are from Southern Cali, but we also have ladies from across the country.
I am using this blog to mainly post challenges, keep track of certain items as our space is limited on the Yahoo Group, a calendar will be created as well.
If you have stumbled across this blog and would like to join the fun, please be sure to visit us and request membership!
