You might have tons of them in the cabinet.
And yes, you might use them all at one time or another.
But there is always that ONE that you prefer.
It might be so un-cute- even hideous -but for some reason its the one you are almost always sipping out of.
Maybe you get a Starbucks coffee every morning on the way to work. If that's the case - then that's your picture!
But please don't take a picture of the pretty hot pink polka dotted one when you know good and well that the one with the Gremlins on it is your favorite.
No posers allowed remember?!
Alternatives:
If you aren't a coffee drinker...think about another drink of choice.
Maybe you're an avid Diet Coke drinker, do you always reach for the same glass or cup? Do you prefer a McDonald's coke to go?
Do you enjoy a glass of wine with dinner?
What about a nice cup of hot tea at night before bed - curled up with a book?
Think about those mugs, those cups, those glasses and Snap It.
With these subjects, Be creative with your photo!!
Consider these ideas:
A photo of your mug where it most commonly sits (by your computer, on the kitchen island)
A photo of yourself drinking coffee with your mug.
A photo of your mug in the cabinet. A photo of your to-go mug in your car's cup holder because you drink it on the way.
A photo of your mug in a crazy random place.
A photo of your mug filled with coffee/hot tea and next to the newspaper.
A photo of your mug on top of the book you are currently reading.
A drawing of your mug.
I have absolutely no doubts, NONE WHATSOEVER that you all are going to blow me away.
Here is some eye candy to inspire you and motivate you. (just in case you need it)

I really envision this blog, and this group to have photos from all over the world grouped together JUST like this.
But they will be ours - and we will learn about each other - and be inspired by each other.
*And I can't stress to you enough - As soon as possible after you take the photo, post it to the group. That way if you don't get around to the scrapbook page or journal entry for awhile - you have contributed to the big picture here! I want to see your mug!
So go snap it...go snap a picture of your most commonly used mug and upload it to our Flickr Group. Overlooked - Subject One
I will be back on the 14th - with loads of journaling ideas, prompts, and guidance . So all I'm asking for is that creative photo of your mug. (not your face, but what you pour your coffee in)
sipping coffee from MY favorite mug, aw

I did a little photoshoot of my mug last night, while reading the blog, and then uploaded my memory card ... and the funny thing is, I had a picture taken in the last week with my mug in the same spot (just not the main focus of the shot). It really is my fav :) mostly because it is huge!
I just uploaded my photo and I'm pretty excited. Not because it's a good photo (it's not, I don't have skills), but because one of my New Years resolutions was to join a challenge and come out of lurkdom. I'm a total newbie... Thanks for sharing your crazy talent!
Just found this blog. Will be snapping my pic today.
Love the whole idea as well.
