March Photo a Day Dump

Top o' the mornin' to ya!  Can you believe it's already April?  Last month I participated in the February Photo a Day challenge, which is a photography challenge hosted by blogger fat mum slim.  The idea is that you use your camera phone to take a photo each day using the prompts from the list of the month as inspiration.  Once you take your photo, you share it using Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc.  


I tried my best to keep up this month, but fell off the wagon towards the end.  I'm missing a few pictures (trash, toy, kitchen sink, funny, etc.), but below are the pictures of the ones I completed.  I love this challenge!

Fingers crossed I can keep up for the entire month of April.  Here are the prompts for this month.  If you want to participate and follow along with me, just add me on Instagram.  My username is "TheBargainBlonde".

February Photo A Day Round-Up

Happy March first bargainistas!  Last month I ditched my BlackBerry and became immediately addicted to my iPhone and more specifically, to Instagram. I started fellow blogger FatMumSlim's February Photo A Day Challenge halfway through the month, and I did my best to play catch-up.  Unfortunately, I'm missing a few of the days.  Nonetheless, here is a glimpse into my February via my iphone/instagram..  The photos are in no particular order.
