much love monday project: Show Me Your Heart!


I'd love your help for a Much Love Monday project I'm doing! If you're up for it, here's what I'll need from you:

Do a blog post, which includes:
1. A photo of a love heart shape (taken by you)
It can be of anything (see examples above), as long as a heart shape is clearly visible. It MUST be photographed by you, not taken from the internet. I think it's more personal that way, and let's you have fun with photography too. It can be any size that you like, but preferably a square shape.
2. Write at least ONE thing that you love
It can be a person, a feeling, a memory, a song, anything! Feel free to list more than 1 things if you like.
3. Once you've done the post, leave a link in the comments of this post
4. Submissions will close this Friday
I will compile everyone's photos at the end of the week, including a link back to your blogs. The compilation will be posted for next week's Much Love Monday.

I've been meaning to do this project for a long time now. Seeing that it's the start of a new year, when most people are feeling fresh and optimistic, I thought this would be the best time for it. This week is sort of a test run. If all goes well, I would love to make this a regular weekly feature.

P.S. If you don't have a blog (or if you do, but don't want to do a post), you can email me your image and answer. Any questions, feel free to ask!

What a sweet idea Anna, must find a photo to take

setyourselfonfire said...

am i allowed to join in if the only way i can take a pic is on my mac book? if i do it with a lot of natural lighting it would be clearer but maybe not as clear as those taken with a proper digi cam. don't worry if that doesn't work for you- i totally understand, esp cause you want the project to look good! just let me know :)

blue eyed night owl said...

What a lovely project and I just made something that's perfect for it, I think. Good timing, huh?

Dream ChYmEc!nDy** said...

I've only recently posted a heart picture (the frothy hot chocolate pic) here: http://beneaththecrystalstars.blogspot.com/2010/01/hard-to-say-goodbye.html

And obviously the post was dedicated to my bf which I love!

Does this count? I hope so:)

A wonderful idea Anna!!! I'm very much in... I'll get started on my heart today and will send you a link or email before Friday. ♥

soph (owl vs. dove) said...

Love this idea. Anyway, I'm going to link back to a blog post I did this time last year (cheating, I know, so I understand if it doesn't get included) but I thought it was quite serendipitous seeing as I did a heart post exactly one year ago!

Hey Harriet said...

I took some photos today with heart shapes in them but I'm a bit slack with updating my blog. I may email you a pic tomorrow. Although you probably have way more than you need already, so maybe I'll send it next time :)

A gorgeous idea for a project btw!

Inari said...

Thanks for this project Anna!
It made me look my old pics in a new way and see some hearts I hadn't realized before. I also feel lighter and happier now <3

My post is here, thank you for visiting!
