How many times have we turned down our street and passed our street sign?
Hundreds - yes hundreds.
But do you have a picture of it?
Probably not.
I think its something that will be cool to look at in the years to come.
Most likely (maybe not) but most likely you will move.
Maybe even to a different city, a different state, a different country.
You'll want this documented.
If you want to take it in a different direction and document a cool sign that you pass often.
Or the street sign of your job - or the street sign of where you USED to live.
A street sign from a vacation.
(Especially foreign country ones)
You could rock that as well.
*Extra Credit*
Take a picture of your house number too.
You'll be glad you did.
a little note...
My whole goal in this website was that I didn't want any of you to have to worry about deadlines, or that to have that feeling of "I need to be caught up" or "I'm so behind".
I didn't want it to be a contest...so thats why I opted against sponsors or picking winners.
Sometimes I feel guilty (its one of my more uncool attributes) that I don't have enough going on here. Overlooked went from 360+ members all the way to 26 last month. But I refuse to give less because of those numbers. The emails you all have sent me - tell me it is worth it. Even if you don't upload your picture or your layout - i know that you all are still doing these challenges. I don't do this for praise, for financial gain, or notoriety. I do this because I want to.
Hopefully you are inspired...hopefully you take the time to snap, jot, and scrap some of these subjects.
Thank you for stopping by.
xo,
aw

I AM inspired and dang it I am kicking myself for not having the idea to get a picture of the street signs of the last four houses we lived in - all in far away places. sigh! But next time we travel to those cities I am getting it. This is just the best idea ever! Thank you!!
And I am heading down the block with my camera right now!
I don't want to seem like a suck up but a few months back when I first started going through my "sign phase" I took these.

Please let me know if you can't get to them.
I've got my parent's home and my current apartment and my old apartment's # and street sign because apparently I'm a freak like that. Have not *scrapped* most though and already have a million new ideas from this post! xo
I love your blog just the way it is. Simple. I don't want product sponsors and tie-ins and guest bloggers and winners. That format is old! Do what you want- we all love it. xo

Val
Aha! Just found you! I love what you've done here and will be joining in. I love that there are no prizes... that's not why we do it eh? Love your positiveness:)
I jut found this blog the other day and tonight was my first chance to check it out. I am so inspired not only by your challenges but in your dedication to motivating/inspiring fellow scrappers. You truly deserve an award and I am so glad I found this wonderful blog. I cannot take any pics right now since my camera died on me but I do plan to do this challenge as soon as I replace it. Thank you for all you do here.
Cheryl
