    Calendar Challenge…and I’m late already.

    February 3, 2014 - By 

    JanuraryHere we are with the first check in and I’m 2 days late. Nice. Oh well…I made it and that’s all that matters.

    I managed to get something in each day.  Just a brief note about my day…or a picture…or whatever came to mind. I noticed that Sunday I don’t really have much to talk about.

    FeburaryMy February calendar is ready to go… I’ll likely add more embellishment along the way but for now I’m thinking that I’m going to leave my calendar pages somewhat unadorned then if/when the mood strikes during the month I can add whatever I want.

    I like that I only have an inch and a half to fill…well likely more like 1.25 inches. Short and sweet, no pressure journalling. Just my speed. I’ve got to get dinner going but I’ll be back later to check out the linky gadget over at thekathrynwheel.

    Art Calendar beginnings

    January 6, 2014 - By 

    kathryn wheelI’ve debated a couple years now on joining this challenge.

    I admire those who document their life in some way.

    Yes, I blog. Yes, I keep a calendar both on paper and computer. But that’s not exactly what I had in mind.

    I’ve thought about so many options such as Project Life, December Daily, daily journal or even a pocket calendar such as my mom uses to write a snippet of her day.  Then my mind went back to the art calendar challenge put forth by Kathryn Wheel. I’ve been following several blog friends through there journeys over the past year.  I decided this was the time.

    cold morning

    Besides…it’s way too cold to do anything in the basement where my art space resides. Now that I have the background done for this project, I can do the rest where its warmer.

    I plan to bind each page separately into the book covers using a technique I saw years ago in a library book. Hopefully, I can pull it off when the time comes.

    Remember I said it was cold….

    This is my front door…

    Governor Dayton called off school for today last Friday knowing the Arctic blast we’d be experiencing today.  The kids are hoping for yet another day off tomorrow. I’d say that’s pretty doubtful but they can dream.

    Stay warm and safe everyone!!
