I posted this question on my facebook and twitter accounts on Saturday morning.

Our son was travelling home from his band tour in the United Kingdom and I wanted to be sure I was giving him the right advice.

Here are the top 5 tips for those of you who ever travel over many times zones (specifically East to West)

1. Drink LOTS of water
2. Adjust your meal times to your destination the day before, if possible. However, for sure adjust them the day you get to your destination. Eat light!
3. Go to bed at your regular time for the timezone you are in.
4. Get up early the next day.
5. Get out in the sunshine so your internal clock registers that it is daytime.

We had family over, looked over all his 600+ pictures, had him share about his trip and then played games until it was his usual school night bedtime.

I thank all of you who answered! It has made his transition home, smooth!

This week’s Project Life Photography Theme is shared in this short video.

Have a wonderful weekend!

I trust you all had a wonderful Easter long weekend.

I was completely ‘unplugged’ for the 3 days as we entertained family. It was wonderful to connect.

Hence the reason the Project Life Photography Theme for this week is a bit late.

I am sure you captured your Easter celebrations and traditions, but if you still need some ideas for the rest of the week, here is one.

With the beautiful Spring weather making it’s mark, get out for a walk with your camera. Capture some of the local architecture in your community.

For those of you living in the big city, this will seem simple. For those of you, like myself, who live in a small rural community or even in the country, take heart. There is lots of architecture around you too.

Remember it doesn’t all have to be man-made

This week’s Project Life Photography Theme is to capture what you do at work.

Work can be whatever you do during the day, including those of us who are home executives.

Give your significant other the camera for a day or two this week so they can capture their work too!

I work just 20 yards from my kitchen where I have a large format plotter and all my computer equipment. I snapped this photo as I was changing cartridges while in the middle of a large graphics project.

Have a super weekend!

I am happy to announce that UK customs have finally cleared our shipment! We are in the process of getting is shipped to the warehouse.

I anticipate that we will begin processing pre-orders on Wednesday. It will take a number of days for us to get through all the pre-orders, so your patience is appreciated. You will receive a tracking email as soon as your order is shipped.

Remember that we are sold out of the Clementine Core Kits from this initial shipment, so if you included that item in your order any time after mid-morning on February 4th, your order will be shipped once our next shipment arrives sometime in May 2012.

The Project Life Core Kits in all editions are very popular and are sold out even in Canada. We are having more manufactured and hope to have everyone stocked back up in May 2012. There are a few Cobalt Edition Core Kit available through the UK/Europe Project Life shop, but once they are sold out, they will be on pre-order for May 2012 as well.

Thank you so much for your patience as we have established Project Life in Europe! I am so thrilled to be able to bring it to Europe and look forward to seeing it expand even further with the coming Editions.

Thank goodness it is Friday! It has been a crazy couple weeks, as I have been working on a massive graphics project for a client. It was a huge success and I am grateful to have worked with them.

So on to the Project Life Photography theme for this next week.

Now I realize not everyone is necessarily heavy into politics in their municipality, communities or countries. Some may simply exercise their right to vote, while others may participate on a bigger scale. Whatever your involvement, I am sure you have opinions.

This week I encourage you to document where you stand, what you like and don’t like.

I am not calling for an online debate, but just to record your beliefs and the things you feel are of value, in your Project Life album.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday and Happy St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow.

In honour of the Irish Saint, this week’s Project Life Photography theme is to capture anything green.

Clothing
Plants
Household goods
Inside or Outside
Work or Home

I snapped these just wandering the house for about 10 minutes.

{and ‘yes’ I have laundry to fold}

Have a wonderful weekend!
