Happy New Year!

What do you to kick start your digital scrapbooking journaling? Kristin Ruttan from Log Your Memory has some great prompts in her FREE Journaling Toolbox. Every week she posts a handful of prompts on a specific topic.  She has TONS of topics (52 each year).  You can jot a few notes about the topics as they come up (and refer to them later when you are scrapping) or if you need some ideas mid-scrapping, scroll through her lists to find a topic that fits.  I’m sure you’ll find one in her vast list…here’s  a sample:  Halloween * Communication * Christmas * Daily Habits * Daylight Savings * Holiday Traditions * Entertaining * Holiday Traditions * Thanksgiving * Veteran’s Day * Illness * Books * Football * Seasons * Work * Personal Organization * Politics * Summer Olympics * Back 2 School * County Fair * Outdoors * Pet Peeves * Relaxation

I chose to think about daily habits with it being the 2013 & the new year. Here are some questions that Kristin suggested:

1. • What are some of your daily habits … the things you do every day, same time, same way… often without thought?
2. • Have you ever tried to intentionally create a habit? What was your approach? Were you successful?
3. • What habits do you wish you could end?
4. • What habits would you like to develop?
5. • Which do you prefer… routine or a less predictable day?
6. • What is your most recent habit? What habit have you had for the longest?
7. • Have you kicked a habit? What was it and how did you do it?
8. • Have you ever stopped in the middle of operating by habit and wondered what you were doing?
9. • Is daily journaling one of your habits? Would you like it to become one?
10. • What advice can you give others regarding creating or kicking a habit?

Here’s one I thought of. My niece, Alyson, turned 14 this year and one of her goals in her young woman’s group is to visit 14 temples (from our church) this year. My sister could take a picture at each temple, but jot down something about the journey, places they stopped along the way, what food they ate, how many miles from their home to the temple. I’m sure you can come up with other ideas.
