Now Playing: my new year
Topic: Techniques
I have a plan to challenge myself in the new year by working with assigned themes and techniques. I had my hubby help me brainstorm to come up with 7 words for each letter of the alphabet. I will work from these in letter order. On the first round I can select any of the words from letter A the first day, B the second, etc. In each successive round I will have fewer choices to work with (but more time to think about them!) It will take me to the middle of July (half-a-year) to finish my challenge.
