OLW Blog Hop : March 1st.
It's been a rather shifty month. Continuing to be surprised at how SHIFT shows up. The OLW "assignment" for Feb was to take a collection of photos that represent your word. Mine ended up to be quite literal. I've been pondering the physical layout of these – made the decision to go with B&W photos, but now trying to decide if I want to "just" print. Sorry to drag you all through that! The graphic above is the template of photos so far – note the missing block at the top. I'm taking a deep breath and shifting my thinking – I'll get this done over the weekend. A few notes about what you DO see so far –
1. SHIFT notebook – I ordered this from an Etsy seller. LOVE it.
2. my SHIFT necklace – given to me by a dear friend. I wear it daily.
3. the large SHIFT button – on a poster that a blog reader saw at Ikea – I picked up the poster while I was in Montreal last week. Still deciding where to hang it.
4. the magazine article title in the lower corner – I am delighted when I see SHIFT show up in my reading. Trying to highlight & capture those instances.
Want to see how other OLW participants are doing with their journey? Hop to Jo next! If you happen to get lost along the way, here's the master list. Enjoy!

Great set of photos for your word, black & white works extremely well.

Great photos. I love the black and white. It is perfect for your word. Shift is an unusual word – but it is a great word. I suspect you are the only person to have chosen this. Enjoy your journey.

Great group of photos. I love the black & white — really makes the images stand out, plus brings a very nice graphic quality. You could just print and put in a larger sleeve. Either way I think it’s fab.
