We had a P365 party two weekends ago and so my book and journaling is done through 9/20. (I don't have a picture of that party because on the same day I had my own little adventures in babysitting and so I chose this FRIDAY picture instead.) I love my book and could sit and look at it over and over. I'm so glad that I did this project and that I will have this for my girls forever.
The dilemma: Will I do it again next year? The answer: No, at least not in this format. The main reason for this is because it is getting harder and harder to take pictures on random days where we do nothing. How many pictures of my kids at the park or playing Barbies can I really have? So, if Becky Higgins puts out one for next year, I will buy it but will save it for a year or two down the road. I need ideas from all my scrapbook friends out there for my next year's album/format though.
What I really want is this:
Not necessarily this one but an SLR camera of some sort. I don't think its gonna happen any time soon but a girl can wish can't she? Maybe if I start clipping enough coupons! Anyone who's reading this who has an SLR: which one should I get WHEN and IF I get one some day.

We *love* our Nikon D80. Sadly it's been discontinued, but the D40 is almost exactly the same and Costco and some other places have it bundled with some decent kit lenses right now. And in the future you could always upgrade the lenses to any in the Nikon family.
There is talk they might discontinue the D40 as well, which would only leave the much more expensive Nikons, so I'm highly recommending that if people are sort of on the fence about it, that they act sooner rather than later.
We get so much better pictures with our SLR than we ever did with our point-and-shoot... even though I really don't know much yet about how to use all the settings and everything. I like that the opportunities to learn and grow with it are practically limitless.
Sara, Thanks so much for the info. I just tried to get onto your blog and learned that my invitation has expired. ? I don't really know what that means.
LOVE LOVE LOVE my Nikon. I have the D50 that they discontinued 2+ years ago when they were coming out with the D40. I really think the lower end models have ALL the features you would ever need (and most likely MORE) in an SLR. The only reason to upgrade to a higher one is if the lense it comes with is really good and justifies the price difference. Really the lense is much more important (and expensive) than the camera.
I already have my SLR picked out... now I just need the money. I want the Cannon Rebel T1i. Get it. We'll be twins. Then, I'll need to save up for some nice lenses. Uh.. I think it will be a WHILE.
p.s. your 365 project looks so good.
p.p.s. SOOOO SAD that I couldn't hang out with you more on this trip. Hopefully Shawna will get married soon and then I'll have a new reason to come up to Seattle.
Canon 7D. Nice. That is the dream here.
