January 22: Everyday Moments

We are in the HOME stretch of MOC11 now! (see what I did there? ) How is everyone doing so far? Are you keeping up or are you like me, scrambling to finish the last few challenges on my list. Lol.

When we started brainstorming ideas for challenges we talked a lot about what scrapbooking looked like for each of us and I mentioned that a lot of my favorite pages in my books are what I call my month "Misc" pages. I scrap single layouts for the big stuff like birthdays, holidays, events and vacations, but then at the end of the month I have a collection of random pictures that aren't related to each other, but that I want to capture. In about 2013 I started a double page spread at the end of every month that captures the random pieces of everyday life. I often note things like the price of gas, noteworthy news events, projects I've finished around the house, new meals I've tried, etc.

For this challenge I want you to look around your house, your job or wherever you go today and capture something that seems totally normal today, but that might be pretty interesting to look back on in 5 or 10 years. For my layout I captured my quirk for always parking in the same spot at my grocery store. Lol:



Your page for today's challenge must include:

• Capture at least one everyday moment. See below for more samples for ideas.
• You may use pictures but they aren't required.
• If you don't use a photo, you must use a some amount of journaling (the amount is up to you) to tell the story of your everyday moment.
• You may do a single or double layout
