Stuffed Animal A Day

Rebecca Jackson has quite the creative family! She sent me the following note, "Inspired by his brother Den’s Lego a Day and my Robot a Day, my 11-year-old Rylan has now been working on a 365 project. He has a myriad of stuffed animals that he writes lengthy stories about (one such story is 51 pages long)—they all have names and personalities. So he’s featuring something to do with his stuffed animals each day." So without further ado, here's Rylan's project...

Rylan Jackson of Baldwin City, Kansas is creating a project called Stuffed Animal A Day!



Why did you decide to do this project? I decided to do this because I had great ideas and my brother and mother were doing it so I decided to do it. I also have over 80 stuffed animals so I have plenty of things I can do.

How has doing the project affected your life? It has affected my life by me doing it. Every day I do my blog in the morning so I can be done with it and I don’t forgot to do it. I do it right when I get up and that is why it affects my life. It makes me feel like I just can’t stop and I have to do it right away. And it’s fun to make something with them every day like them getting stuck or them just being funny.

Projet 365 Collimaginours

Marie Tremblay in Québec city, Québec, Canada is documenting her teddy bear daily in "Projet 365 Collimaginours"...

Why did you decide to do this project? I had been wanting to do a project life for some time, but I thought I would not be able to see it through. Then, I saw Project 365 and wanted to try it too, but thought I wouldn't be able too either....

Some time later, on a road trip for Christmas, I had a brainstorming with myself... and my husband listening :) That's how Collimaginours was born!



How has doing a yearlong/daily project affected your life? At the beginning, it was difficult to remember to take a picture every day, but now, it's like a second nature. I have so many different pictures ideas every day, it's difficult to choose :) 

Having something that comes back every day, like my teddy bear, helps me, I think.  Everywhere I go, Collimaginours come with me, and I'm not shy to make him do anything.

The best part of it is that I include my children and friends in the project. Sometimes, the picture comes from the other side of the country, or even the world, when somebody puts a picture on Facebook :)

So in conclusion, I'm making a Project Life 365 because my bear is there everyday and he tells the story of my life. I am now printing the pictures, and writing the text that goes with it, in my new scrapbook album Project life. 

I love doing that and now I know I can actually do it.  If I can, then I'm sure anybody can.
