Hello, friends! You can now sign up to join us for the 2015 December Photo Project or DPP as we affectionately call it.

First off, you should know that the ONLY reason I do this is because all of you like doing it with me. I’m 100% sure I would’ve ditched the project years ago if I was doing it alone, so THANK YOU for making it so fun for all of us.

Second, much thanks goes to the awesome Kaylee Koenig for aiding me in creating a design for this year’s DPP. She stepped in and handled it and I am so thankful! Lovely work, Kaylee! I also appreciate my husband who does All Things Web-related for me so I don’t have to. He’s always a good sport. (I love you, Jeremy Tredway!)

Final thing. Some of you are wondering why we do this thing called the DPP. Well, we do it because we like to capture the first 25 days of December in a unique way. Though photography is at our fingertips through phones these days, we all lead very different lives and have found it to be a particularly fun challenge to document what the month looks like for us. Some of us add a challenge to it all by, say, taking only photos in one location, or just photos of friends. Others have gotten creative with their DPP shots and have printed books after the project is complete. Whatever you do, take pictures each day, select one as your “image of the day” and post it to your blog, to Instagram or to a Facebook album. You can also share the images in a group pool on Facebook or Flickr. Get creative! And enjoy the wonderful month of December.

The DPP begins tomorrow! Sign up is here.
