TOMORROW!

Yes, that blog post title is in all caps.... Know why? Because we are EXCITED!

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)

Justine's Book of Lists!

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

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

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?
