A Year In Review

It’s the beginning of 2012, which brings the 2011 Calendar Challenge (from The Kathryn Wheel) to a close.

As I’m sure is the case with everyone, December was extremely busy.  stuff 124This “Christmas Ribbon” gave me more room to write than I’ve had with the squares. Since I always have so much to say, I liked that!

With only two pages left in this year’s art journal, I was able to do a little journaling.
stuff 125 stuff 126

The journal is complete.  Even though I had a love/hate relationship with the paper in this premade journal, I really like the way the paper looks crinkled and grungy.   stuff 128
Here are all the calendar pages for 2011.

    Oh, so beautiful! (and creative and inspirational... I really like the idea and I wonder if I could commit to that. I would be so proud of myself - don't you feel proud to have completed this?) Can't wait to see how this year's calender works out for you!!

    @meyser - Thank you! Yes, it is an accomplisment as far as creating goes. I tend to try something and then get distracted, leave it, and go to something else. So it was fun to have stuck with it. You should def try it!

    I have to say god bless your patience, that would have driven me potty. Not the paint but the script.
    Well done.

    Good Job!
    I hope that you have the best year ever! But I guess that would mean meeting me in real life. Since that probably won't happen, I hope that you can at least get by in 2012.

    I got a journal from Mr BCfor Christmas and promptly left it behind in Mo. Just not use to daily writing things down. I asked him to bring it with him when he comes in Feb.
