Being Tazim: Favourite Things Project

This is an old page for this project. I have moved to www.beingtazim.com To go directly to the Favourite Things Project Page, click here.

Welcome to the Favourite Things

Project page!

What is the project about?

It is a 52 week visual project starting July 2010
It is inspired by the idea of acknowledging and appreciating the smaller, often unnoticed things in life, the things that are important to us in some way.

Each week a participant from the previous week will be selected and a link to their blog or flickr or whatever site will be featured.

Guidelines:

- This is primarily meant to be a visual project.

Feel free to include some text explanations of your photos or journal-type posts, but make sure there are pictures, too.

- Please link up your posts to my entries. There will be a 'linky'.

I plan on posting my entries and the linky every Friday, but feel free to do yours any day of the week or do a few in one week. I'd like the posts linked up so that we can all visit each other's.

- Anyone can suggest a theme/topic.

contact me or leave a comment if you'd like to leave a suggestion or have any questions.

- Although most people will blog their post each week, it isn't mandatory.

feel free to use flickr, photobucket etc for showcasing things you love - just please leave a link each week (on Friday) on my blog post so that we can all check it out!

- Topics/themes are completely up for interpretation, that is part of the fun of this project!

While I may have been thinking of a particular thing when I introduced the topic or theme you may have interpreted it to mean something else entirely! That is totally cool.

Ideas for implementation

- if you participate in "wordless Wednesday" you could use the theme/topic of the week listed here to do your Wednesday post.

- you could use the topic/theme for searching out things in stores/catalogues/online and post about things you want to buy/own.

- visual posts do not have to solely be picture-based. . . how about drawing, painting, or even cooking things related to the topic/theme?

I will have a few weeks worth of themes/topics in advance so that you can take or gather your images.

i'm joining...can't promise every week...(I tend to have lofty goals and not enough time)..but will try!

tazimd 88p · 769 weeks ago

Sounds wonderful Michelle. I'll be glad to see you whenever you want to join in! :) I know what you mean - I start so many things at once then just end up feeling burnt out!

This is a cool idea, even if I am new to blogging and don't always get the steps to these things! I will get the hang of it though!

Hi Tazim, suggestion for another week. 'If you had the courage to do ...., would you do it?'

In my job I have to use a lot of Ice Breakers and I use this one regularly, it gets people to think outside the square. I ask them, 'If you have the courage to do something dangerous/adventurous what would you do?'

Some of the others I use are, What do you love the smell of or dislike the sound of. What did you want to be when you grew up...and so on.

Hope these suggestions help make the list a bit longer.
