This week’s challenge was to capture celebrate in photo. I was just giddy when this theme came up – so perfect for Valentine’s Day (you’ll see I couldn’t resist being obvious)!

Here’s mine:

Here’s Corrie‘s:

Do you have a celebrate themed photo to share? Link up below with a URL to your photo (blog, instagram, or flickr account) or share on the housefullofjays facebook page. Remember we want this to be a fun project to participate in so take your time with it or grab a quick snap – but please do share.

After linking here hop over to Corrie‘s – she’ll have our next photo challenge posted.

Can’t wait to see your shots this week!

Happy Love Day!!

It’s time for The Lexicon Project!

Our photos for this week’s challenge linear are up over at The Mayberry Home Journal. It was a fun one and I snapped too many photos as I sought linear through my camera lens.

While Corrie is hosting our linking party, I get to reveal our word for the coming week!

I was so happy when this word popped up for us. My mind is awhirl with possibilities for photo opportunities this week!

I’ll be hosting our reveal next Thursday. In the meantime pop over to Corrie‘s to check out everyone’s shared photos there – and don’t forget to share your own!

If The Lexicon Project is unfamiliar to you, my original post is found here.

Last week Corrie and I introduced a joint project we’ve been dreaming about for a (longish) while.

With the same word in mind, we’ve kept ours eyes open through the week to capture a photo of the chosen word. This week’s word was shadow. Corrie is revealing our photos over in her space today and hosting any others who have decided to take up the challenge to photograph shadow. I’m excited to see her photo and how others may have chosen to interpret the word.

It’s not too late to share a photo with us and you don’t need a blog to do it. Post on instagram, flickr, or the house full of jays facebook page. We want everyone to be able to participate! And don’t sweat about capturing a groundbreaking photograph! We wanted to make this a fun and easy project that is open to interpretation but not a great time commitment for those weeks when toddlers (and not so toddlers) will get into everything. Put more time into it if you want to, or just snap a quick shot – but please do share.

Next week I will be hosting the big reveal but today I get to announce our word for the upcoming week….

This is going to be fun! So many ways to interpret this one.

Won’t you join us? We’ll be back here next Thursday to reveal our photos!

In the meantime, hop over to Corrie’s to see how we captured shadow this week.

Although half a country apart, Corrie and I often find we take photos that mirror each other. After talking about it longer than we really needed, we’ve decided to make a game of it.

We will choose a word at random each Thursday and meet back the following week with our interpretations of the chosen word. It will be a fun way to share different, or perhaps similar, points of view.

eek! check out this awesome graphic Corrie designed!

And of course – the more the merrier! We’d love to have you join us – either by sharing on your blog, instagram, or flickr. You could even share a photo on my facebook page. We’ll alternate each week whether Corrie or I will host the link-up party but we’ll be sure to let you know where to find us.

This week we’re kicking things off with our first word.

I’ve been so excited to what see our inaugural word will be.

Da da da da…

We’ll be back here on Thursday to share our snaps. Hope to see you then!
