Fearless.

 

Hooray!

Another person has jumped on 

the "Creativity Challenge 365" bandwagon!

Since I issued the challenge in March, only my sister and my niece have taken me up on the idea -- one painting every day, the other making cards. And so far the results have been splendid!  It was just wonderful when I saw my sister at our reunion in Missouri because she brought all the cards with her and I got to see each of them.  And the best part was that her hotel room looked like a traveling craft circus (her husband is very understanding)! 

So I'm absolutely delighted to report that 

now the ranks of our fearless band have swelled to four.

  

Chelsea has come up with a smashing entry in the form of a new blog, Haikerbole, which will combine her love of poetry (specifically Haiku) with her love of fancy writing and accompanying addiction to pens.  You can check out her progress here . . . it's day one!

Something has begun --

I can't wait to see it grow

Three lines at a time.

 (just a little haiku in your honor on the occasion of your kickoff, Chels! Couldn't resist.)

I keep plugging along with my Happy Thought project and would like to thank everyone who is coming along for the ride.  I'm printing each day's entry and compiling them in a book, and I'm pleased to report that it's getting quite thick!  And I'm already beginning to muse about what I might do next year . . . 

Since every day is the beginning 

of a new year, any other joiners out there? 

Come on in . . . the water's fine! 

And it doesn't have to be anything REALLY big, of course --
just an itty bitty something that keeps you moving in the right direction along the creative path.

It's like exercise, of course, 

to keep your art muscle fit as a fiddle.  

Come on . . . you have nothing to fear but 

having to pack art supplies with you 

on your family vacation!  And that's not so bad, is it?
