This portion of our project is the most intense and will require the most commitment. You will take the most amount of photos this week and save the most amount of memorabilia, and journal the most. It might be helpful to set a box out that you can toss things in as you go. Keep your camera out and ready – in fact, take it with you when you run errands etc. Jot things down that you want to remember as the day goes on or if you blog or journal, keep track of your daily happenings there so you can transfer them over.
Pictures: Refer to your sections document for the multiple photo ideas for this section
