Since the beginning of the year, I have been toying with the idea of jumping into a 365 project. There are a lot of good ones out there with plenty of great prompts. Cyndi (the Book Chick) has one going at Appearing Closer. Holly is participating in one put together by The Photography Butterfly. There are more out there, but the one that grabbed my attention yesterday is the one found at Capture Your 365. The first prompt for February is Heartfelt Sentiments.
