Wow. It’s Groundhog day which signifies my one year anniversary of this blog, and of my creative journey.
My goal was to create at least one thing, per week, regardless of medium or quality for one solid year. I’ve learned a few things over these past 52 weeks. First is that I create in spurts. I see that I have 79 posts over 52 weeks. Each of those posts symbolizes a project worked on, a picture taken, a new skill tried or learned.
I’ve had a couple of “distractions” over the past year with the introduction of Bella, my puppy; and with meeting my Lovely Logger Man. I’ve moved and done quite a bit of traveling. All of these are wonderful additions to my life that have left me with less time for myself, but with gobs of happiness.
So one year into my journey I’ve explored these different mediums:
- Collage (artist trading cards, skinnies, bookmarks, etc)
- Altered books
- Altered items (mirrors, boxes, etc)
- Painting
- Drawing
- Embroidery
- Crocheting (still trying to get this right!)
- Sewing
- Baking, gardening and canning
- Photography
- Stamping
- And probably some other random creations I’m forgetting…
I’ve also done a lot of exploring, both in the wilds, and in books and the blogosphere. Finding new things that excite me, make me smile and allow my heart to sing.
So here’s to a new year. Another 12 months of creative discovery. To more projects that make my heart sing!
There are a lot of photographs and bakery items that I didn’t post pictures of, but this is a good smattering of the things I’ve created over the past year (with the exception of the eclair from Paris in Las Vegas last week 
).
