I signed up for Kerri Bradford‘s online class, The History Project, in January 2015, full of enthusiasm, but somehow it became one of those online courses that I didn’t complete.
I came across my uncompleted work in a drawer recently when looking for Lego instructions (as you do). As I flicked through the worksheets, I realised why I’d put the class to one side … I’d completely underestimated just how much writing I would have to do.
There are 21 sub categories covering the first 20 years of my life and I had done just 6 of them.
Blowing the dust of those worksheets gave me my plan for this year’s upcoming 100 Day Project – finish/complete all those UFOs* that I’ve accumulated over the years. It’s not a sexy plan by any stretch, but is is a plan that will produce concrete results … and working on The History Project should be an enjoyable trip down memory lane.
*UFOs are unfinished objects.

That sounds like an interesting, but challenging project – all that writing! Maybe it will be easier to complete now you’ve had a long break and can restart with new enthusiasm? Good luck with the UFOs!

Excellent goal! I have never heard of Kerri’s workshop. I chuckled at UFO & yes I have several of those too. How do you feel about finishing those layouts or assignments using the computer? I know I can key faster than I can write & there’s lots of handwriting looking fonts.

I stumbled upon this class just last week and it looked very interesting to me as I have in my plans to do a personal history project. If you share your progress, I might look into it more.
In regards to the 100 Days project, your plan was my plan last year… It is a great way to work on projects gathering dust and I shared my positive and negative conclusions here if you are interested: http://anounceofcreativity.blogspot.com/2018/07/the100dayproject-2018-wrap-up.html
I am contemplating doing the 100 Day again this year and call me crazy but I am thinking of making 100 cards! Maybe!

I remember following along with you last year via Instagram and thinking what a good use of the 100 days it was. I’ve really enjoyed revisiting The History project this last week and mean to finish it … then I thought I might do a similar, but stand alone, project about my time in the military using the same prompts.

So you would recommend the class after all? To tell you the truth the price surprised me a bit…

I would recommend this class, yes. I’m afraid I don’t remember what I paid for it in late 2014/early 2015. It’s possible I received it as a Christmas present.
