We want to take the time to thank our wonderful sponsors. They helped us do several things before the project even began, and they stuck with us throughout this journey. We hope that you visit each of the challenge sponsors to say hello, thank them for sharing information about 30 Days of Lists with you, or even to lurk around for a while. You can get to their blogs by clicking on the images below.

In addition, we would like to thank each of you who shared information on your blogs/facebook/twitter/around the kitchen table. Without you, this project wouldn't be what it is right now. Be sure to keep the blog button up so others can find you :)

Another gentle reminder to please fill out the
feedback form for 30 Days of Lists.

The Final Prompt: Today's To Do List / Feedback

2011-03-30T00:20:00.000-07:00

Anticlimatic? I don't think so!

What brought us to this challenge? Our love of lists. The most common list mentioned in the comments this month was the ever-powerful 'to-do' list. We love making them, crossing things off, adding things we didn't originally have on the list just so we can promptly cross it off, and abandoning them when the day gets away from us.

Let's celebrate the to-do list with writing down what we ought to do today :)

Remember, this is day thirty of the 30 Days of Lists challenge...you made it!

List 30: Today's To-Do List

It reads:

Upload my 365 photos, write back to my pen pals, watch Modern Family, not get sad that it's the 'last day' of #30Lists, eat something yummy for lunch (because yesterday's lunch was terrible), clean off my desk, snuggle, tweet/chat/email, order some Warby Parker glasses, have fun, do something adventurous, smile.

Thank you, again, for your participation! We read each of your comments (they come directly to our email!), love browsing the flickr group, and lurk on your blog pages when you post links :)

In fact, we would like to do this again.

But we need your help.

This is a feedback form we created. It is anonymous (unless you type your name, or something) and asks for your feedback in different areas. If we didn't ask you something you would assume should be on a feedback form of this sort, there is a place to write to your heart's desire at the end.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Loading...&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Take Note:

The Wild Olive giveaway will continue until 10PM Pacific Time today. Get your entries in!
There is still plenty of time to sign up for the newsletter. Amy, Justine, and I are meeting this month (for the first time as a trio!) to discuss the future of 30 Days of Lists and other collaborative projects. You'll be up-to-date on information through the newsletter.
The feedback form above is SUPER important. We need to hear what you have to say about this project in order to know what to do next time. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
There will be a few things going on tomorrow to celebrate! Be sure to check back for some announcements, some freebies, and more!

List 29: Favorite Foods

2011-03-29T02:28:00.000-07:00

You may have noticed .... We didn't do a lot of (any?) 'Favorite' list prompts.

But, for food we will make an exception.

You did read about Kam and her love of tacos, right?

So, for today, indulge your love of all things edible.

What are your favorite foods?

I could eat salad every day if someone else made it. No question ..... and then wash it down with some ice cream .... Ha!

As I mentioned when showing y'all my book of lists, I'm using a 7x9" 3 ring binder, with the half-page minimal theme from the 30 Days of Lists pdf downloads.

Please head on over to the 30 Days of Lists Flickr group to see what other participants have come up with and add your own list!

Interview and Giveaway with Mollie of Wild Olive!

2011-03-28T11:51:00.000-07:00

I don't know if you noticed the really cute sheets of paper I've (Kam) been using...the ones with office supplies with little faces? Yeah, those! They're adorable, right? Well, Mollie of Wild Olive knew I was using them for this project, and she offered up a giveaway for those of you participating in the 30 Days of Lists Challenge!

But first, I want you to get to know ~~fall madly in love with~~ Wild Olive and Mollie! I asked her a few questions, interview-style, and this is what she has to say:

Tell us a little about Wild Olive:

Wild Olive is where I share all of the crafty things that I'm working
on. My true craft love is embroidery, but I also really like hand
sewing things from felt, and any time that I can help others find this
love, I'm thrilled!

Where do you get your inspiration for your printable lists?

Well, if I'm going to have a piece of paper telling me what to do, it
had better be cute! So I look for things that are sweet, as well as
the opportunity to include silly puns. Oh, and sometimes people send
me ideas for things they'd like to see. I love that!

Are you a lister? Or are you more of a remember-as-I-go type of person?

I am definitely a lister. I make lists for everything! But...I don't
live and die by these lists. Writing them out is therapeutic, and
although I refer to them, I can move on without checking things off.

Do you do other daily journaling?

My blog is the only real journal that I've ever had success with, and
it took years before I got into the groove. If you go through my room,
however, you'll find lots of half-filled journals!

Time for another giveaway!

List 28: Vacations To Take featuring Maryam from Pamplemousse1983

2011-03-28T03:08:00.000-07:00

Maryam from Pamplemousse1983 here! Happy Monday! Ok, maybe not so happy but today's list might get your mind off the fact that it's the first day of the workweek for most people.

Prompt 27: Vacations to Take

If you're like me, you are constantly planning your next vacation. Thinking about where you'd like to go, what you would like to see, where you'd like to stay, etc. I tried to focus my list on places I haven't been before but with a couple of exceptions, the first being Hawaii which I'm not sure I should count because the one time I was there (other than being in the airport) we were only in Honolulu and all I remember was going to McDonald's...I was very young at the time. I think we were there for like a day or two.

The other exception is Haifa, Israel. I think I've been there maybe 5 times total? I even lived there for about 3 months until the Lebanese war broke out. It's a holy place for my religion and the hubs and I are planning to go for pilgrimage next spring. I'm super excited about it as he's never been! Plus, we'll be travelling with our first child who will be about 10 months then, so that should definitely be an adventure. On the way we'll stop in Belgium to visit my dad's side of the family and if all works out my parents will also meet us out there. Needless to say we're already saving up for this trip.

Now I want to know what's your next trip? Or fantasy trip? Where does your little heart desire to visit?

--------------------------

Thank you SO much Maryam for being our sponsor this month! We were so luck to have you!

List 27: Lessons Learned

2011-03-27T02:24:00.000-07:00

Today's list is a bit reflective .... but feel free to be as flippant as you like :)

Amy's Take

So .... I'm kind of that person who will offer you advice even if you don't ask for it. I'm sorry. :) Everyone has one friend like that, right?

Some of the lessons below I've learned myself the hard way ... .and some of them are based on mistakes I've seen other people make .....

Justine's Take

OK, I could NOT get this to post vertical, I saved it so many different times :( So the list says 1. Don't touch a flat iron without being sure its off. 2. Check the dates on milk 3. Don't eat chicken and waffles right before bed 4. Don't be afraid to say no 5. Don't put all your eggs in one basket 6. Don't have wishful thinking when it comes to your gas tank.

Kam's Take

I love our Sunday posts...I really like showing how there is no right way to do this challenge, and to see how similar/different we are from one another :) I can't wait to meet these two ladies IRL. Maybe we'll even post about it!

In case you missed it, we answered a few of your questions and posted information about a 30 Days of Lists newsletter in a post last week, and we announced the giveaway winner :)

30 Days of Lists is a collaboration between Kam of Campfire Chic, Amy of Lemon and Raspberry and Justine of A New Beginning.

Prompt 26: Books I'd Like to Read This Year

2011-03-26T00:40:00.000-07:00

Amy, Justine, and I have something very big in common...we're complete bookworms! There is always a book we'd like to pick up from the bookstore/library, we're quick to recommend books we love, and Harry Potter is no stranger to our shelves :)

With that, I'm here to announce today's prompt!

List 26: Books I'd Like to Read This Year

It's a little hard to read, so here's my list:

The Maze Runner
Dracula, The Undead
Red Pyramid
Boneshaker
The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher
Atlas Shrugged
Deja Dead
Hickory Dickory Dead
Batman: Arkham Asylum
The Grey Wolf Throne
The Son of Neptune
Bullet
Hit List
Matched
Incarceron
The Scorch Trails
The Throne of Fire
The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Quite the list, right? And what's worse is that most of those are already on my bookshelf! I buy books faster than I can read them *shrug* but at least I'm never alone, right? I don't know if you've seen this post about the importance of dating a girl who reads floating around the interwebs, but Justine has it on her blog, I suggest you read it :)

Here is a photo of one of our shelves...we have two bookcases...one is a three shelf, the other is six shelf unit.

OVERFLOWING!

Pull the books forward and you see a mess load of books behind them! Yes, you're seeing that correctly...books lined up the way they should be PLUS books laid on top of them. We're sick.

I'm looking forward to seeing what books you're

hoping to read this month/season/year!

Even though I shouldn't order any more books,

I'd love some recommendations :)

List 25: Things I'd Rather be Doing Right Now

2011-03-25T02:28:00.000-07:00

Happy Friday!

Today's list prompt is about remembering all those things you would love to be doing if you didn't have to be, you know. Responsible and stuff :)

Things I'd Rather be Doing Right Now

I'm slowly but surely crafting my "work" time around activities that I enjoy, but if I was truly honest ...... If I wasn't going to work today, or blogging for next week, I would rather be:

reading, sleeping, reading, sleeping, traveling

Not a lot to ask, right?

As I mentioned when showing y'all my book of lists, I'm using a 7x9" 3 ring binder, with the half-page minimal theme from the 30 Days of Lists pdf downloads.

Please head on over to the 30 Days of Lists Flickr group to see what other participants' have come up with and add your own list!

Can't wait to hear what you all would rather be doing!

List 24: I Make Lists For:

2011-03-24T03:23:00.000-07:00

DISCLAIMER- My camera is MIA, so this photo was taken on my phone, and it's awful, I hope you forgive me!

OK, well this is a fun one! What do you like to make lists for! You know we all do, since we are doing this project :) I used to collect all my lists I made and I would staple them into a cute journal that I would turn into a planner, because I feel like I have never bought a planner that suits all my needs, so I always create my own. Do you feel me on that? Or am I crazy?

(Can I just say I cannot believe we are on list 24! I feel like it was just yesterday when Kam emailed Amy and I about this, and that was in January!)

I love being able to just make lists, everyday for something new. Have any of you used one of the Listography books? I see them a lot, but I don't know if they are worth the money, let a girl know if you have bought one! :)

List 23: Guilty Pleasures

2011-03-23T01:04:00.000-07:00

I'm lucky I use such small sheets of paper...today's list could go on for...well, days! I enjoy some pretty silly things...eating ice cream straight from the carton, changing the metric on my Google Analytics so I am shown a graph with positive movement, favoriting things on Etsy I know I'll never buy, yelling at the people on House Hunters for not choosing a home based on the dumbest things...On a rare occasion I'll be too ashamed to admit that I like something that I know most people don't like, but I am usually pretty outspoken when it comes to my guilty pleasures.

List 23: Guilty Pleasures

Guilty Pleasure: something pleasurable that induces a usually minor feeling of guilt. Something that brings pleasure but is considered taboo, unadvisable or lowbrow. First known use, 1907. (Merriam-Webster, Wiktionary)

Confession: That's my bathroom. I'm in my pajamas.

If you can't read my list, here is what I wrote:

A spoonful of nutella
Spam (the food)
Jersey Shore (tomorrow is Jersday!)
RAW (as in wrestling)
Dark chocolate anything
Jack in the Box tacos
McDonald's orange 'soda'
Movie/TV show marathons (House/L&O:SVU)
Collecting 4square badges ('checking in' in general!)
Cussing
IZZE drinks (written on the back of an IZZE carton)
Leggings as pants
EMU boots

I could go on, but that seems excessive.

What is on your list?

P.S. Today is the last day to enter the giveaway for an octopus notepad from Boygirlparty!

Kam runs the blog and online shop known as Campfire Chic. She specializes in making the outdoors look good, Search Engine Optimization for non-nerdy bloggers, and eating tacos while driving.

List 22: Today I saw...

2011-03-22T02:27:00.000-07:00

Confession: This list prompt was inspired by Jill's Today I Saw blog. If you're not familiar with her work, I encourage you to check it out.

Today's prompt is about noticing the things around you - big and little.

As I mentioned when showing y'all my book of lists, I'm using a 7x9" 3 ring binder, with the half-page minimal theme from the 30 Days of Lists pdf downloads.

Image is of my drive to work. That is west-bound Wilshire Blvd, and I work in the white building on the right.

Text reads:
traffic on the 405; billboard for GLEE; Ralph's grocery store; Ralph's parking attendant vigilantly keeping non-shoppers out; our across-the-way neighbor watering her plants; Andrew getting my morning coffee (xo)

List 21: Things To Do This SPRING.

2011-03-21T04:06:00.000-07:00

You know what I love about the blog world, but find funny? Every time a new season arrives, we all can't WAIT for it to start, its cute. We all get each other excited about everything. Talk about a great support group! I hope you all entered in the giveaway! We have some exciting things plans for the end of this month/project. I am so sad it is almost over. :(

A few things about my list: So, in a few weeks I am going camping with Cal and Kam, so I am super stoked about that. I also am going on the HCG diet next Sunday, so after the initial 3 weeks I hope to start running. THEN, I want to cut off all my hair! Yay!

What are your biggest goals for this Spring?

Is there anything you do every Spring?

<3 Justine.

Interview with Boygirlparty and Giveaway!

2011-03-20T09:29:00.000-07:00

Hi! Kam here with a little interview with Susie of Boygirlparty PLUS a giveaway that will have you super excited to make your next list! A couple of months back, I took a mini poll on Twitter to help me select between two cute notepads for a giveaway, and today I'm giving away the one with the most votes!

About Boygirlparty
I'm a painter who creates products featuring my original artwork and imagery, inspired by music, nature and joy. I named my company Boygirlparty so the word would imply the youthful, excited & energetic feeling of my work (hopefully!) I started crafting under the name Boygirlparty back in 2001, while I was a student at the Rhode Island School of Design studying illustration.

Hummingbird To Do List

Where do you get your inspiration for your notepads?
All my stationery is based off stationery I've made for my own use originally! I used to compulsively create to-do lists for myself, or stationery to write letters on. The imagery is derived from paintings I've done, or doodles I've made in my own sketchbook.

Blue Owl To-Do List

Do you make lists?
I'm obsessed with to-do lists. Nothing feels more satisfying than crossing a task off and knowing it's been accomplished :) Lists help me keep track of everything I need to remember so I don't feel like I'm always mentally burdened with having to remember it all... also, sometimes the very act of writing a list helps me remember the things I have to do with more clarity. I also make "Don't forget to pack" lists, shopping lists, people to call/write lists, etc.

Do you do other daily journaling?
Yes, I keep a journal (My own design!), a sketchbook (top secret), a blog, and a twitter account

For ONE WEEK only,

Enter coupon code 30DAYSOFLISTS

List 20: Celebrity Crushes

2011-03-20T02:23:00.000-07:00

For today's list, it's OK to admit to some things you might not otherwise

Who are your celebrity crushes?

This could be actors and musicians, it could be thinkers and writers, it could even be historical figures you admire. Think of "crush" as liberally as you like....

Amy's Take

Text reads:
Adrien Brody, Montgomery Clift, Dick van Dyke, Christian Bale, Jamie Bell, Harry Connick Jr.

And, somehow I forgot Viggo Mortensen! I added him after the photo was taken, not to worry.

I tend to love crooked mouths .... I also have a lanky-nerdy-type going on :)

Justine's Take

This was so fun! It's funny how easy there were to come up with! I broke it down to actors and musicians :) But, I was lazy and didn't know two of the musicians names hahaha, so you will have to bear with me.

Speaking of Joseph Gordon- Levitt, do any of you guys follow his tumblr? I love his work! And him!

Kam's Take

I don't know if you see the pattern here...why do the names for the men on my list all start with the letter J?? Craziness. Who knows. Yes, I broke mine down into boy-crushes and girl-crushes, because I'm not afraid to admit that these women are beautiful! I was a little cramped for time (I'm sure you understand) and wasn't able to cram all the people I would like on this list, but there is always next time, right? Edit: I just read Amy's list, and how could I forget Adrien Brody?! My mister has the same nose, so I'm quite fond of him, to say the least :) Thanks for the reminder, Amy!

Please head on over to the 30 Days of Lists Flickr group to see what other participants have come up with and add your own list!

We're looking forward to seeing some of your crushes/style icons!

30 Days of Lists is a collaboration between Kam of Campfire Chic, Amy of Lemon and Raspberry and Justine of A New Beginning.

Your take on Lists 17-19

2011-03-19T20:57:00.000-07:00

Here are some highlights of lists found through the 30 Days of Lists Flickr Group. I had to laugh, there were a few lists I wanted to share, but they're protected! Sneaky, sneaky. You'll have to go take a look for yourself :)

List 17: Words that are hard to spell

Kelly Morrison

Kateyz

I couldn't help but laugh (and be jealous!) when I read the above list!

Spelling Bee champ, perhaps?

Mandy A Curtis

List 18: Road Trip Must-Haves

MaRLeNe

List 19: Recipes to Try

Michelle Lamey

Pear Fairy

How is everybody doing? Are you still having fun?

Guess what! There is another giveaway (or two) coming

up soon. Stick with this, we're over halfway there :D

P.S. Does anybody else feel like you're clicking the little 'favorite' star a million times while going through the group? You are all so incredibly inspiring and creative! I got behind in commenting on each photo and wake up each day to see that even more photos have been posted to the group! There are so many of you, and I'm totally loving it :) Thank you for participating. I know Amy and Justine are equally thrilled at the response to this project, and it means a lot to us that you've stuck around.

List 19: Recipes to Try

2011-03-19T00:40:00.000-07:00

It's Kam again! Hi. I can't believe it's the end of the week already. I hope you had a good one, Spring is right around the corner! Yay :)

My mouth was watering the entire time I wrote up my list for today. How could it not be watering when today's prompt involves yummy food?

Prompt 19: Recipes to Try

My stomach is rumbling.

I'm pretty domestically challenged, but I can make a few quality meals without the use of a recipe...macaroni and cheese (no, not Blue Box), cheese or chicken or veggie enchiladas, breakfast burritos (with soysauge or turkey bacon), pizza, and a few other small dishes. Nothing to boast about...my boyfriend says I have the tastes of a homeless four-year-old so that tells you what I like to eat ;)

What do you want to learn how to make?

Any recipes floating around your junk drawer?

A whole e-mail folder dedicated to recipes
your friends send your way? Maybe a folder for all your
bookmarks? Let's hear them!

List 18: Road Trip Must-Haves featuring CaL

2011-03-18T02:26:00.000-07:00

Hello there,

I'm CaL from Boardwalk To Eden & I am so excited to share my list for today with you since I am, in fact, on a road trip this very minute. Heading up to San Francisco to see blog friends, of course!

When Kam asked me to participate in the 30 Days of Lists challenge I was so jazzed. Listing things just so happens to be my strong point when it comes to writing, designing, creating, decision making. Pretty much anything I can make a list for, I will.

Because my writing is sloppy & small, here's what's on that list:

1. favorite v-neck.
2. shorts.
3. favorite hoodie.
4. TOMS.
5. duffel bag.
6. water.
7. chex mix.
8. carmex.
9. iPhone.
10. sunglasses.
11. camera.
12. destination.
13. FUN.

Basically, comfort is key when you plan to be on the road for an extended period of time. Take, for example, my trip today where I'll be on the road for about 8 hours. Water & snacks are important because stopping along the way is a pain. Carmex is always good in case you want to let the wind hit you in your face without getting cracked up lips. Sunglasses are a must for any glaring highway. My camera is my baby, it's a G11 & will be documenting my trip. & because I am sort of weird with numbers & such, I made a number 13 - have fun! Don't let the long hours on the road get you down. Embrace the serene beauty of the open road! Play some music & smile!

Happy list-making bambinos!

List 17: Words That are Hard to Spell.

2011-03-17T04:21:00.000-07:00

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
I have always wanted to visit Chicago on St. Patty's day, and of course, Ireland. I am Irish, but I never really celebrate.
Is anyone doing anything super fun?

Well, about our 17th list.. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT'S ALREADY THE 17th LIST! We are almost done :(

This was an easy/fun list to do, and it gets you thinking about all those words you might hate, like me!

Do you have any of the same words as me? Don't make fun of my words! :)

*There's over 1200 photos on in the flickr pool! (I am awful at uploading my photos, it is my goal to spend 2 hours on flickr this weekend)

List 16: Places to See in Your Town with Mal of Sunday Morning Sugar

2011-03-16T01:58:00.000-07:00

Kam here with today's list prompt. I personally love visiting new cities/towns. I spend lots of time online asking people for places to visit, researching hikes, and scouting out hole-in-the-wall gems that may otherwise not be mentioned in main travel books/websites. I also believe that every town has something special to offer and a story to share.

Prompt 16: Places to See in Your Town

Today, we have Mal of Sunday Morning Sugar with us to share her list for today's prompt!

Hello hello!

When Justine first announced this project on her blog, I was thrilled. I am an avid list-maker and I really don’t have enough time to participate with all of the art journaling projects. List-making on the other hand, I’m a champ.

I live in Chicago and I think that I live in the best place around (except in the winter!) so there are really a lot of things to do in this town. Here’s my list…

In case you can’t read the writing, it says:

-The Bean

-Willis Tower

-John Hancock Building

-Water Tower

-Millennium Park

-Navy Pier

-Buckingham Fountain

-Aquarium

-Art Institute

-Museum of Science and Industry

-Museum of Natural History

-Wrigley Field

-Tribune Tower

-Zoo

What is there to see in your town? I listed a lot of the tourist hot spots but my real favorite thing to do in Chicago is eat.

I can’t wait to see your lists :). Thanks so much for having me.

Xoxo

Mal

List 15: On My Shopping List

2011-03-15T02:39:00.000-07:00

For today's list prompt: Take a look at what you've been meaning to purchase

What is on your shopping list?

I tend to always have a few shopping lists going ..... Grocery store and/or Costco, Target for cleaning supplies and/or house stuff, birthday gifts, craft supplies for specific projects, etc etc etc ...

Since I generally go grocery shopping on Tuesday or Wednesday, here's a peek at what I'll be getting for food for the week:

As I mentioned when showing y'all my book of lists, I'm using a 7x9" 3 ring binder, with the half-page minimal theme from the 30 Days of Lists pdf downloads.

Image is an iPhone photo from a previous week's shopping.

Text reads:
vegetables - always always tomato, cucumber and bell pepper; cheese - always; fruit - what's on sale; possibly chicken or steak - depending on what Andrew is in the mood for; coffee and coffeemate creamer; ice cream?

Although, I'm not really sure why I wrote the question mark after ice cream ... I ALWAYS want to buy ice cream. :)

Please head on over to the 30 Days of Lists Flickr group to see what other participants' have come up with and add your own list!

List 13: DIYs I Want to Try Featuring Holly Knitlightly

2011-03-13T01:53:00.000-08:00

While Sunday is normally a day where Amy, Justine, and I share our lists for the day, today we have a special guest! I would like to introduce you to Holly of Holly Knitlightly! She is one of our lovely sponsors, and when we asked her to be a part of this project, she immediately jumped on board :)

Hey everyone! I'm Holly from Holly Knitlightly & first of all I just want to say, how awesome are Kam, Amy & Justine for putting together this blog? What an awesome idea!

I have been loving all of the lists you guys have been making. You guys are so creative and have been giving me a lot of ideas! I can't wait to see your lists for today, for DIYs you want to try! I have a feeling I'll be adding quite a few ideas to my list! I have a ton of ideas of new things I want to try, I even go out & buy supplies (or sign up for online courses), but then I go back to knitting and just shove everything in a corner. I want that to change though, and hopefully putting it down on a list will give me that shove in the right direction to start some of these! Who knows, they could become my new passion!

Here is what my list says:

Sewing (skirts, bags, pillows)

Candle making

Soap making

Embroidery

Bookbinding

Scrapbooking/Journaling (travel journals)

That is just a SMALL portion of the many things I want to try! I can't wait to find out what things you guys want to make!

** Note for our international friends**
DIY stands for 'Do It Yourself'
This prompt is about listing the craft projects or home-remodeling or other do-it-yourself projects you want to remember to try.

30 Days of Lists Playlist

2011-03-12T12:12:00.000-08:00

How are your lists coming along? I am having a great time working on these prompts, I feel really accomplished even though I'm maybe listing 5-6 things for each prompt. I feel like I can look back on my mini-album in a few months and get a pretty good idea of what was going on in my life during these 30 days.

I wanted to share some songs I've been playing while working on these prompts, answering e-mails, scheduling blog posts...you know, the usual ;)

Go ahead and hit play, get up and stretch a bit before working on today's prompt. Maybe catch up on a few from last week? I'm going to catch up on posting photos to our flickr group. Have you been posting your photos to it? I'd love to see them :)

xo, Kam

List 12: Weekly Rituals

2011-03-12T01:50:00.000-08:00

Do you do something each week? Specific TV shows you watch, a special dinner on a certain night, or a class you take early in the morning? Let's hear about them!

List 12: Weekly Rituals

At least, those are my goals each week. I can tell you this much...I eat lunch out of the office each Friday, that one won't be messed with ;) I work next to a mall and across the street from some awesome eateries so it is hard to resist spending my lunch hour out of the office!

What are your weekly rituals?

Your take: List 11

2011-03-11T22:23:00.000-08:00

You all are the CUTEST!

List 11: Date Night Ideas

2011-03-11T02:38:00.000-08:00

For today's list, start brainstorming some DATE NIGHT Ideas!!

It is Friday, after all...... :)

We do NOT mean only romantic dates (although, that is what I listed below) - Think also about best friend dates, parent-child dates, or by-yourself dates ...

Be creative!

My list happens to be Los Angeles-centric:

As I mentioned when showing y'all my book of lists, I'm using a 7x9" 3 ring binder, with the half-page minimal theme from the 30 Days of Lists pdf downloads.

The IMAGE is from one of our date nights .... On a late Sunday afternoon, my husband and I picked up a pizza to go, grabbed a roll of paper towels and drove out to Malibu for dinner on the beach. There was almost no one there that close to sunset .... It was so peaceful and amazing!

Text reads:
pizza on the beach at sunset, record shopping at a thrift store, coffee and the Getty museum, Annenberg photography center, walk around the neighborhood, cook dinner and Netflix, morning hike followed by Menchies

I made it through 180 of your Flickr uploads this morning, I am loving all the comments left by others and hope you check back on your photos for those little love notes!

Also, please remember to post the 30 Days of Lists button on your blog, after this challenge is over, it will be a great ice-breaker for all of us if we know where we've 'met' before :)

Lastly, I love reading the tweets you are posting on Twitter! Be sure to use the hashtag #30Lists so we can see it show up in our search bars! You may get a response you weren't expecting/some loving RTs!

Love, Kam

List 9: Favorite Websites/Blogs

2011-03-09T02:24:00.000-08:00

Today's list focuses on where we spend a fair amount of our time while on the internet! I think many (if not all!) of us can think of a handful of fun blogs/websites/social media sites we enjoy ;)

List 9: Favorite Websites/Blogs

Here's my list for the day :) The paper is itty bitty--about the size of my hand--so I had to make this list count! I mentioned in a few comments left on the Flickr group that my writing is ginormous, so squeezing these words onto this sheet of paper was a challenge in-and-of-itself. I also wanted to photograph my list this way so you can see the backsides of my previous lists :D I love little surprises like that.

For those not familiar with Reserve America, it is an amazing website I use to make reservations for my camping trips, and it gives you a good idea of what to expect at each campground. I love using it! Also, Yelp! is a user-based review website for stores/restaurants/places of business. Like Foursquare, this site lets you check-in, earn badges, and become the duke/duchess of places you frequent. love, love, love.

What are your favorite websites/blogs?

Speaking of websites/blogs, you can read about Amy, Justine, and me and our lives outside 30 Days of Lists on each of our blogs, respectively. Also, be sure to leave a link to your website/blog in the thread labeled Introductions on the Flickr group, so others can find you :)

pdf download clarification

2011-03-08T21:25:00.000-08:00

For those of you who have purchased and downloaded the pdf templates for 30 Days of Lists....

I've discovered that this might not be clear in the download instructions.

The FULL PAGE templates are in the order the prompts will be posted on the blog.

The HALF and QUARTER page templates are in order to print back-to-front and make a little book if you so desire.

Try watching one or the other of the tutorial videos for visual clarification.

And, as always, email me with further questions!

Thanks!

List 8: In My Bag featuring Moorea Seal

2011-03-08T02:38:00.000-08:00

Good morning! We are so excited to introduce one of our gifted sponsors to guest post today!

For today's list, take a look at what you carry around every day - What is in your bag?

If you don't have a purse, maybe your backpack or camera bag or computer bag? If no bag, what do you keep in your pockets? What else do you need to have with you at a moment's notice?

Today Moorea Seal is going to show us what is in HER bag!

Hi there everyone! I'm Moorea from moorea-seal.com. Today I'm going to give you a little tour of "What's in my ~~bag~~ Backpack!" As much as I love purses, I have a lot of heavy things that I carry around everyday and I prefer the balance and support that my body gets from using a backpack rather than a purse. Plus, I'm 24 and I figure I can still get away with toting around a backpack for a few more years :)

These are all of the essentials for my backpack. Since I work from home at least 12 hours a day, I can go a little stir crazy being held up inside of my tiny apartment. So my backpack and I usually visit a coffeeshop once every 1-2 days just to keep the work day spicy and fresh. It's helpful that my boyfriend is a barista too. :)

So here's my list of everything in my backpack:

1. Pens, Pencils, and Erasers. I'm a professional Illustrator and obsessive list maker so my bag of goodies is a necessity!

2. Cell Phone. I have a Droid. It works well but I still dream about having an iphone instead :)

3. Wallet. I don't really like the color red, but I figured, hey, if I get a red wallet, I'll never lose it because it's the only red thing I'll own and it's bright color will make it easy to find. (I'm really forgetful.)

4. My little notebook. This is where I keep ideas for blog designs (I'm a blog designer for Freckled Nest). I'm usually toting around this notebook or one of two others that help keep my mind sane juggling lots of jobs.

5. Chapsticks. Despite the constant rain in Seattle, the air sucks all the moisture out of ya. Chapstick options are a must.

6. Daily Planner. I love this planner by Moleskin. My everyday lists are usually huge and this manages to hold big lists in a perfectly sized small planner. It's also red so I can find it when I lose it, heehee.

7. Keys. My boyfriend got me a pretty little wooden key chain that has a secret storage compartment. I love it, but have yet to figure out what secret small things to stash inside.

8. Dried Cranberries. I'm always craving sweets. These help with my sweets lust.

9. Tiger's Milk Protein Bar. Once again, always craving chocolate, so at least with this I get a little protein too. :)

10. Little Earphones. These are a must for coffeeshop hopping. Some coffeeshops play the loudest, worst music ever.

11. Drawing Pad. I'm an illustrator! I draw most everything by hand.

12. Macbook. Ah, one day I'll have enough money for a Macbook Pro upgrade. One day...

13. Custom Laptop Case. Isn't it so pretty! I took that photo myself of a friend, and a laptop case company had it printed on the case. I can't remember the company's name though... shoot.

So there you have it! That's everything I need day to day in my backpack. What are some essential staples in your purse of backpack? I'd love to see some photos!

List 7: Blog Goals

2011-03-07T04:00:00.000-08:00

Well, this is a good topic, because, I think its safe to say we all love blogs. And, theres a big chance a lot of us have blogs, which then means we most likely have a lot of blog goals! Yay! See why I am loving all of these prompts? There are so applicable to my life, I love writing them all down. So, my blog, A New Beginning. It is/was my 3rd blog in a span of a year, I kept deleting my blogs and starting new. But this time, I am keeping myself sane, organized, and I have reasonable blog goals! Here there are:

This list includes:
*Keep her up and running for over a year.
*Finalize a weekly feature.
*Meet some of the incredible ladies!
*Open up design shop again.
*HAVE A BLOG PARTY (before summer).
*Blog 5x a week again.

-----------------------------------

Don't have a blog?

Tell us about your writing goals!

Kam's writing goals:

Respond to pen pal letters as soon as I read them
Write to my grandmother at least twice a month
Master the art of the semicolon
Re-read my blog posts for spelling errors, it's happened twice this month!

Your Take: List 6!

2011-03-06T13:57:00.000-08:00

I love getting to do these posts, the "Your Takes" because I love going through the flickr! You are all so talented and creative!!

I am up tomorrow, and I really think a lot of you are going to like tomorrows prompt, it was hard not to write a million things!

<3 Justine

List 6: Least Favorite Words

2011-03-06T02:21:00.000-08:00

Hi, it's Kam. These are a few of my least favorite words and phrases...the first one is in code because I hate the word that much! If you're a Sex in the City fan, you'll be able to decipher it. UGH. The others have a story behind them, but I'm not that interesting ;)

Justine here, I am going to be honest, this was a hard list for me to come up with, I guess I don't have words I hate, unless they are hurtful. <3

The above is my list (Amy) ... Like Justine, there's not a ton of words I don't like.
So I changed the list prompt and noted some of my favorite words!

ex: I kind of love the word 'amiable' since it has my name in it :)

What are your least favorite words and why?

2011-03-05T13:20:00.000-08:00

How's your weekend going? Was today's list prompt easy? or difficult?

I hope you're having a great weekend! I do want to welcome any recent additions to our group, I think you'll like it here :)

There, you can introduce yourself, check out the albums/notebooks from other listers, and comment on the awesome pages going up! Some listers are posting their blog urls, this would be a great time to check those out and meet new friends!

List 5: Weekend Goals

For this page, I used a paint chip sample I snagged from the hardware store. These goals are my goals every weekend.

I'm currently in Las Vegas celebrating my baby bother's 21st birthday, so I guess I should add to this list:

take plenty of photos of my brother doing silly things
don't get lost on the strip
see the sun rise
get a ludicrously large beverage shaped like one of the casinos
find a cool magnet
buy lost of postcards

What are you goals for the weekend?

Your take on list #4

2011-03-04T08:46:00.000-08:00

I think Fridays - the lead in to the weekend - are the perfect time to remember and appreciate all the music we listen to ...

Here are some of the fun and creative Today's Playlist versions from you all ...

I am LOVING all of the different methods you're taking to list. And LOVING all the honesty with this little snapshot of your lives..

Ex: Chris is blogging her lists (screenshot below) .... and for today's list she was quite resigned to the fact that she has no real choice over her playlist with a little one running around :)

I can imagine her kids taking a look at this when they're older, grateful for this little sign of how much they're loved.....

by Jessi from sparrows-and-arrows

This next list was made on the Notes problem from her iPhone - proof that this is really just about working with what you have:

I love this next one ... her whole set is gorgeous!

I also love this entry by mollykiely (but it's not shareable, so you'll have to go to her flickr site to see it!)

I think I might check out some of your music that you've been listening to!

Thanks everyone for participating - and as always check out everyone else's work in the comments or in the 30 Days of Lists flickr group!

List 4: Today's Playlist

2011-03-04T02:25:00.000-08:00

Day 4! Happy Friday!

For today's list prompt, pay attention to what you're LISTENING to throughout the day (or plan on listening to)

List 4: Today's Playlist

I have a couple things I listen to ALL THE TIME .... and then on top of that I'm on a pop music kick.

I'm not exactly known for my cutting-edge taste in music :)

As I mentioned when showing y'all my book of lists, I'm using a 7x9" 3 ring binder, with the half-page minimal theme from the 30 Days of Lists pdf downloads.

The image posted here is the cover art for the musical soundtrack to In The Heights - which I literally listen to all the time. ALL the time.

Text reads:

In the Heights soundtrack - ALWAYS, Stuff You Should Know podcast, Amy Winehouse, CeeLo Green's 'F*ck You', Barenaked Ladies, Kanye's 'Monster', Lady Gaga

What are you listening to today?

Wow, every time I log onto Flickr I am so happy. You guys are incredible, last time I checked there were 212 photos!! 212?! In 3 days?! Amazing. I love how after I posted this, I noticed a lot of them say "Harry Potter part 2! That makes my heart happy! Fellow nerds unite <3.

Here are some roundups!

Once again, thanks so much for tagging along with us on this project, scrolling through your blogs and reading your posts and seeing your excitements makes all this so worth it! I am going to be sad at the end of the month! Also, I love reading your replies to the topics Amy and Kam have posted in our flickr community!

2011-03-03T05:00:00.000-08:00

Your Take on List #2

2011-03-02T15:37:00.000-08:00

There are over 115 members of the Flickr group page, my head is swimming with how great this has been so far! I wasn't expecting such a huge turnout when I first contacted Amy and Justine to partner with me on this challenge.

I think Backporchmoon said it best: "...and reading all of yours i feel like i've stumbled into a long-lost sisterhood of awesome."

You are all amazingly talented, complex, funny, honest, and inspiring!

Here are a few lists I found on the Flickr page this morning.

I'm working on seeing the ones you posted on your blogs :]

A community has already started on the Flickr page, I encourage you to jump on board and join the conversations in the discussion board and on the photos. If you are posting your photo, expect a comment from me :) It is great reading how some of you found this project. I love how it went mini-viral!

Justine is up tomorrow, I think you'll like the next prompt :)

List 2: Things I'm Good At

2011-03-02T04:04:00.000-08:00

It may not be grammatically correct, but this is a good time to remind ourselves of things in which we happen to excel (see what I did there?).

Prompt 2: Things I'm Good At

So a story behind this...

I was working on this page late one night and thought it would be funny to be a little too honest with myself. About a week later, Amy, Justine, and I divided up the days we would post our finished lists...and I laughed when I found out I would be sharing this this particular list first!

Do you have a story behind any of the things you are
going at doing/creating? I'd love to hear it!

P.S. Be sure to post a photo of your lists and your notebook/whatever is keeping your lists together on the group Flickr page, and if you blog about it, share a link in the comments section below!

If you haven't already, head on over to the 30 Days of Lists flickr group and check out the wide and varied versions of list #1: A Few Things about Yourself

Every single one of you is doing this project in your own unique way .... and that is AMAZING!

I've been reading through your lists and it seems like I have something in common with each and every one of you ....

Here are just a small handful of examples of your take on List 1:

List 1: A Few Things About Yourself

2011-03-01T01:24:00.000-08:00

Welcome welcome welcome!

Today is the first day of our 30 Days of Lists journaling challenge .... and we thought we'd start out nice and easy with a simple prompt

List 1: A few things about yourself

I happen to keep my About page on Lemon and Raspberry in a rough list form.... It's always fun to think about all the hats you wear! Remind yourself you are more than a wife and mother. Remind yourself that your corporate persona is just a piece of you.

Today, make a list of a few things about yourself.

As I mentioned when showing y'all my book of lists, I'm using a 7x9" 3 ring binder, with the half-page minimal theme from the 30 Days of Lists pdf downloads

I've got 1 prompt per half-page (not back-to-back) so I have room to post a photo for some of the prompts. Not all prompts will have an image, and none of the images will have any more embellishment than what you see above.

Simple, easy. Minimal.

For me, the list content is the focus.

In case my handwriting is illegible (probably), the text reads:

Wife, sister, daughter, friend, reader, writer, photographer, blogger, Netflix subscriber, procrastinator, planner, crafter, scrapbooker, traveler, cook, English major

Even with adhering the photo, this list prompt took me far less than 10 minutes.

Easy.

We can't wait to see what you guys list about yourself! Please head on over to the 30 Days of Lists Flickr group to see what other participants' have come up with and add your own list!

Excited about all the lists we're going to complete this month! Excited to show you some other fun stuff we have planned in March! Excited that SO MANY OF YOU are taking part in our fun little challenge!

And it's already started .....

(If you are new to 30 Days of Lists and want a quick overview, check out the about page info here)

The flickr group for 30 Days of Lists is hopping!

Head on over there to leave an introduction, see what other participants have up their sleeves for their book-of-lists and get inspirations for your own!

Also:

The 30 Days of Lists downloadable pdfs will remain available throughout the month.

Remember, you can get ALL the list prompts ahead of time with the downloadable pdfs. Perfect for if you know you'll be too busy one day to come see the the prompt but still want to make your list for the day.

Quite a few of you have already downloaded yours - and I can't wait to see which theme you use for your lists!

Also:

As mentioned, we're going to TRY to reblog your lists here on the *afternoon* of the prompt. Which means make sure you add your list to the flickr group as soon as you can!

Already submitted are some adorable - and varied - versions of books and covers for the list collection. You guys are amazing and so creative!

Below are some of the books that were in the flickr group by Sunday morning .... In no particular order ....

(*note* - If you don't have sharing settings set up on your flickr account we won't be able to reblog your lists. Double check your settings if you want your work shared here on the blog)

2011-02-25T09:00:00.000-08:00

Good morning everyone! I hope you are having a fantastic day so far! It is now my turn to show you my book for my lists. I love that Kam, Amy and I went such different routes, it shows how different these can all be!
I am a sucker for moleskins. Give me any moleskin and my heart starts pounding I want to write in it so bad ahahha. So, I knew I wanted to use a moleskin for this project.
I was going for more of a minimalist type theme.

When I decorated it, I just used some paper, and a pen. Thats all.

I also used some tabs to spice things up a bit, and because I am a SUCKER for post its.
-Justine.

Amy's book of lists

2011-02-24T03:00:00.000-08:00

Hey hey!

I'm Amy - from Lemon and Raspberry. I have a genetic disposition toward list-making, so when Kam suggested this project to me I think I must have said 'yes' before I was done reading the email :)

I made my book-of-lists using a 7"x9" recycled binder from ReBinder. It's the perfect size for 1/2 sheets of regular ol' 8.5"x11" paper.

For my list pages, I'm using the 1/2 page Minimal Theme - available in the 30 Days of Lists downloadable pdf package. (that Futura font is my current favorite).... I've got 1 list prompt for each half page, with room to paste a photo on the back of the page opposite.

You'll see ...

The cover is painted a bright blue, which I complemented with this lime green to matte the title:

I finished it off with a lime green ribbon to wrap around the whole thing. A nice, pretty, streamlined finish .... along with keeping it closed while on the shelf....

I think I will also add a divider to mark off these lists as done in 2011. There's also plenty of room to add another year or 2 of 30 days of lists....

So fun!

As Kam mentioned, there is no right or wrong way to do this - this just happens to be my style! Clean, simple, straight lines and uniform ..... I like having the pages/book be as simple as possible to not distract from the content ....

More photos will be uploaded to the 30 Days of Lists Flickr Group. Head on over there to get some inspiration for your own list collection. Be sure to join the group to upload your own work throughout the month!

Kam's Mini-Album

2011-02-23T03:14:00.000-08:00

Hi! I'm Kam of Campfire Chic, and I'm glad you're joining Amy, Justine, and me on this challenge. You can learn more about me, why I'm excited about this project, and see some didn't-make-it-to-posts photos/ramblings that I'll be posting through out the month by clicking on "Kam" above the header.

Throughout the month, Amy, Justine, and I are going to be posting images of the lists we make for each prompt. You'll notice that we have very different styles--which is perfect, because there is no 'right' way to do this! We hope you'll share your lists with us as well.

One of the biggest differences between the three of us? What we are writing in over the next month.

I constructed my mini-album (2.5x6, 2-ring BasicGrey Milk Chocolate Album/Swatch-comes with two covers with metal grommets and 6 interior chip-paper pages-I didn't use the extra pages, I'm saving them for future mini-albums) out of scrap paper, notebook paper, envelopes, memos, and whatever else was within arms reach at the time.

I decided to use binder rings that will easily open and close so I can add papers/recipes/photos/tidbits throughout the month that may go along with that day's prompt. Like I said, there is no 'right' way to do this!

I'll be posting an image of the cover of my notebook in the 30 Days of Lists flickr group. Once you get yours set up (if you chose to bind your lists), I hope you snap a photo and upload it as well! If you blog about your lists, I'd love to get a link from you to check it out :)

Do have a notebook/notepad/mini-album ready to roll for this project?

GIVEAWAY- Brown Moleskin.

2011-02-22T10:18:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! Justine here! I think this is actually my first post... shame on me. Lol. Amy and I both decided to giveaway a type of notebook we were using for this project, SO I am giving away 1 brown moleskin.

Notice, there is more than one item in this photo, I am only giveaway the extra moleskin I bought :)

The winner will be chosen Thursday at Midnight, and will need to email me fast! So I can ship it to you before the 1st!
To win leave a comment below with the color or method you would use to decorate this binder!

30 Days of Lists Mini-Notebook Kits Available

2011-02-17T02:42:00.000-08:00

Kam here with some exciting news!

Earlier this week, I listed 5 mini-notebooks specifically designed for 30 Days of Lists into my Etsy Shop. They are done in the style of my other mini-notebooks BUT they include some other paper goodies, a small pencil, and a printed list of all the prompts!

These kits are ready to ship! You can find them (and other notebooks) in my Etsy shop, Campfire Chic.

If I run out of kits and you are still interested in a notebook+pencil+prompts+whatever paper goods I can scrounge up, drop me a line and I'll set up a custom listing for you :)

Have you started thinking about how you will document your lists for this challenge?

We'd love to hear your ideas!

FAQs

2011-02-16T03:12:00.000-08:00

Thanks for all your enthusiasm for this new project! We're super excited to get started and share the prompts with you all....

Thanks to some comments on the interwebs, we want to give y'all more details and answer some FAQs:

Is there a fee for this class?
Currently we are NOT charging a fee for the prompts.
Every morning on this (free) blog you'll find the list prompt for the day.
Record your list however you like, however fits your budget, however fits your aesthetic style.

Where are the kits to download?
Kam has added some kits to her etsy site - as well as a giveaway for one on her blog.
They're *super* cute and she only has a limited number, though, so if you like one I suggest snagging it soon!
I will be releasing some small printable files early next week! This will include the full list of prompts for different sized books and easy to put together .... Keep an eye out for those....
Remember, there is no *requirement* to purchase either of these products to participate in 30 Days of Lists - we're just trying to make it easier for you to do so! :)

How long will the prompts be up?
We will leave this site with the prompts up for about a year. You are welcome to use and reuse these prompts as many months as you like!

How can I get involved?
There are SO many ways you can get involved!!

Grab a button --> from the right sidebar and spread the news on your own site. We really appreciate any additional friends you bring to the project. Seeing a wide variety of interpretations of the prompts I think will be my favorite part.

Tell your friends. On your blog or on Twitter or on Facebook. Since this journaling challenge is free we want to encourage anyone who has an extra 10 minutes in their day to participate. The Twitter hashtag is #30Lists .... Feel free to use that tag with any tweets about the project

Join the Flickr group here - feel free to start posting images of your book or list-making method now. And then every post, you're welcome to upload your lists to the Flickr group. Depending on response, we're going to try to post some favorites from the Flickr group every afternoon (of that morning's prompt), so upload away!

Become a Sponsor. We are still looking for 2-3 sponsors to do a blog button swap for the rest of February and month of March. Being a sponsor also allows you your choice of list prompt to be a guest poster on. We've had some REALLY enthusiastic support from our current sponsors - I think you'll be pleased.

If you are interested in being a sponsor, please email us with your readership details and any questions.

If you have any other questions not addressed here, feel free to leave a comment or to contact any one of us by email:

ANNOUNCING! 30 Days of Lists

2011-02-13T03:50:00.000-08:00

Kam, Justine and Amy are so excited to announce today a brand new 30-day challenge to you!

30 Days of Lists starts March 1 at 30 Days of Lists. Each day on that challenge-specific blog you’ll find a prompt for that day’s list topic.

Just a list. Nothing more.

Not everyone can make a mini scrapbook every week or an art journal page every night. Give yourself a break from the pressure of art journaling or 800-word-meaningful blog posts.

While those kinds of challenges are admirable and ambitious, we had something a little more ... manageable in mind.

30 Days of Lists is our encouragement and challenge to you that you CAN journal just something every day - even something as small as a list.

Every day throughout the month of March we will be posting a list prompt - anything from weekend goals to celebrity crushes. At the end of the 30 days you'll have a collection of entries creating a small snapshot of your life right now.

Only 5-10 minutes per day are really needed. While you're waiting for someone, or when you're the passenger in the car. Download one of our kits so you have the topics ahead of time and just write.

That's all.

Just write.

There's no wrong way to do this and if you don't like a prompt on a certain day, just change it. Tweak it. Make it your own.

Watch this site all this month for ideas and giveaways leading up to the first list prompt on March 1!

Thanks also to our sponsors for helping spread the word! Make sure to click on through to their sites to see how they are interpreting the list prompts!

Note: This challenge is FREE.

30 Days of Lists is a collaboration between Kam of Campfire Chic, Amy of Lemon and Raspberry and Justine of A New Beginning.
