Anyone Up For a Challenge?

My friend Jennifer and I are hosting a 30 day photo challenge for the month of August. It's pretty self explanatory, but basically days 1-30 there is a certain photo you take for that particular day and post it to your blog. I think that this challenge can be very inspiring to your readers as well as yourself. This is just a simple way to catalog each day in a different way, you could use Instagram on your iPhone, your instax or just a point and shoot digital camera. I've seen several ideas for displaying them or showing them off on your blog. A couple that I have stuck in my mind at the moment is Rachel's "A Month of Instax" series found here or displaying the photos after you take them with a frame like Meredith did here. Below is the list of photos to take for the Month of August, I hope you'll join us!
Who's in? I'd love to know in the comment section of this post.
