I got this idea from Tracy at Work of Heart and Soul. She is the one that does the 365 project I participated in last year.
This is what she said to do to participate: Post the title or first sentence of your first blog post from each month. You can also add a favorite picture from each month, even though it doesn’t necessarily go with post.

OK...First of all know that picking one picture from a whole month full of photos is sometimes really, really hard!!! Second know that I did not succeed... I did limit myself though so you don't have to look at every picture I took this year... again... I also made most of them really small, to take up less room... click on the picture or the link to see larger views.
I tried it her way and it just wasn't working. I am going to post the picture(s) for each month and the link to the post that picture comes from so if you missed that event you can see the whole story without me having to add extra explanation... then I am posting title and a sentence or two from the first post of each month. I will not always be choosing the first sentence.
You can click on both or either links to read more about the picture and/or more about the first post of the month.
Well here is my year....

I love a lot of pictures from this post... I picked just 3... there are a lot more to investigate if you are interested.
This is my favorite picture of all time... I just had this made into canvas art by having the photo printed onto canvas... I love how it turned out. Hubby liked it so much he said we will get some more done.

December
Picture Link -- Christmas MorningThere is a technical problem with this picture... I am behind in posting the Christmas photos and thus finishing out the 365 project from last year... so this is the first viewing of this photo on my blog. I hope to post my Christmas pictures tomorrow.
It is a picture we take every year... this year we had a twist... hubby and I got in the picture... he set up his tripod and set the timer so he could hustle up the steps and get in the photo... I love it... except for the fact that I am not really looking at the camera... and I am holding my hands in a strange way...

Holiday Bliss 2010 - Dec. 1
"We are spending today celebrating the fact that hubby and boys got the renovations completed: new storm door on front of house with new trim around it, new trim on back door {the storm door actually fell off because the trim was rotten}, toilet put in our first floor laundry room (for my mom especially stairs are hard for her, and us, to use) and painting done. Hope to find curtains for the laundry room today too.... back door has a window in it and there is a little window in that room too. Need curtains there now so people cannot see in. Will take pictures when the curtains get put up."
That is my year in review... I enjoyed doing it and looking at my pictures from this past year... I hope you do too.
