Inspired by my dear friend Allison, I took up the challenge to take a photo each day in 2011 to document my life. I embarked on this with some trepidation (I was not sure I would remember to take a picture every day), and with some curiosity: I didn't have a plan for this project and I was excited to see how it would evolve. What would my life look like, day by day, throughout one year?

Well, one year on, I am addicted to this project. I already took a lot of photos of my children but I have loved the way the 365 challenge has disciplined me to think about and appreciate EVERY SINGLE day - and the precious moments in every day that in the past have flown by unnoticed... I am thrilled to continue with this blog in 2012 - although it really should be retitled: Day by Day 366! Looking forward to a new year...

Day 235: Necklace

I don't wear a lot of jewelry but I have wanted a necklace with my children's birthstones for some time. While I was in England, I was talking about this to a very dear friend who is starting a jewelry business and she was kind enough to take on my commission. I had planned to have David give me the necklace for my birthday in December but I am afraid I can't wait until then! I have worn it a couple of times and just love it.

    So glad that you love your necklace ... I really enjoyed designing and making it for you! I thought that you might like to know that your necklace has been the catalyst that has inspired a whole new range of my jewellery, so thank you very much for your commission!

    Oh ... and I also meant to say that I am honoured that your necklace has made it to one of your 365 pictures!
