Well I'm sort of participating in a few things, but be warned my posting to this blog may be a little haphazard from now until the end of my busy season in April.
The things that I'm trying to participate in are Book of Days over at Wild Precious Life, My One Word and the 2012 Sketchbook Challenge. So I may combine some of this things for a while. Of course, I'll always peek in to see what Tammy is doing over at Daisy Yellow and I'm taking Dion Dior's Twinking H2O's class later this month. Oh, yeah and I plan to participate in the 34th Annual WorldWide SketchCrawl on January 21, but since there is no local group I hope to meet up with the south Florida group. The venue is awesome - the Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park but it's 170 miles and almost 3 hours. Wow, I'm tired just listing these, but of course, I'll only be able to do so much and will do as much as I can.
For my One Word for 2012 I chose - FOCUS- focus on my life and health, family, sanity and of course, work. For my Book of Days I did this spread which includes my One Word.
This page is in my Ecosytem Sketchbook, gesso, Dr. PhMartin acrylic ink, Sakura Gellyroll pens, acrylic paint.
I don't do much with collage or faces - I like color and putting words on the pages of my art journal is still something of a challenge - my goal is to do some kind of spread on a weekly basis (I just can't do daily) perhaps something that reflects the past week or my hopes for the next week.
This blog is really a journal of my journey into the world of art. I have no formal art training and have not done much more than doodle since I was a kid. But I am learning that art is an important aspect that has been missing from my life. Thanks to some wonderful extremely artistic friends in the fountain pen world and on Twitter I have begun this journey - thanks, Mia, for insisting that everyone is an artist!

It's a beautiful spread! It's simple but there is so much texture and energy to delight the eye!
LOVE it! I'm also glad that you have adapted the idea to fit you. Keep posting the pages. It's cool to see what you do. (Mine is incredibly dull - I'm too scared to just sploot paint on and go. LOL!
