ESSENCE

Essence

My Word for the Year

The CMP prompt was to come up with a word for the year. Any word just pick one and post it and we will be doing different things with it. So far I've just decided on "Essence". I made a little jpeg picture and added the definition. I think for 2008 my goal is to make Art...Exercise...Family the essence of what I do. My thought is to make these things a permanent part of who I am, not an accidental existence. Okay, okay...I've been doing this for 2007....but it is a different mental choice to think of it as the ESSENCE of who I am. Here are a few things I've been working on lately....GINGERBREAD MOMENTS

Poinsetta Pixie

The ATC for January is "Beginnings"...I chose to make two ATC's and since I have become a beginning knitter....I came up with these two ATCs.
