Project 52 [week 7]

I remember back in public school in 1988 when Calgary hosted the Winter Olympics. One of our school Olympic activities was to make the Olympic rings out of hula hoops wrapped in streamers. The teachers hung them throughout the school. It looked amazing! I also remember getting a taper candle with a red cup attached to it (from the gas station I think) -- a mini Olympic torch. It stayed in my memory box for many years. I wonder if it's still there? The rush of energy the Olympics brought back then was so strong. That same rush of energy is in the air today as Vancouver hosts the 2010 Winter Olympics, only this time it's golden!

Here are a few pictures I took of my TV during the first week of the Olympics...

Project 52 [week 6]

I'm a few days late but better late than never.

This week is dedicated to the Superbowl. I'm not a football fan but I do enjoy getting together with friends and watching the halftime show. This year we had people over to our house which meant there was a bit of cleaning up to do...

Project 52 [week 2]

This was one of my views this past week while sitting on the beach in a lounge chair sipping Pina Coladas at Dreams Palm Beach in Punta Cana. Pure heaven and a much needed rest from the everyday chaos around here!

Stay tuned -- more about our trip to come!

Project 52 [week 1]

Have you heard of Project 365? It's been the latest buzz around the blogosphere these days. I've heard so many people say that they're going to give it a try and I think I will too.

I love taking pictures and always have my camera close by. Last year I took almost 2000 pictures with my camera so, aside from my Blurb books, I think this is another great way to do something with all those pictures -- only I'm calling it Project 52. I'm not sure I would be able to keep up with a picture a day but I sure can try to do at least a picture (or a few) a week. It's also an excuse to use my new Canon Rebel T1i, my fist DSLR camera!

So starts Project 52 [week 1]:
