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!

Journaling Challenge # 18

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.
