I’ve done few more letters, but it would’ve made this Composition lop-sided. 

Photography:

8.   17 Diptych Posts-

Partnered up with Chel at http://www.gingerblue.com/ and we completed 17 weeks of dual dyptych posts.  Loved it and Thank You Chel!




I’ve realized you’ve got to have guts to be a photographer….especially if you want some decent shots….You have to put yourself out there…excuse the intrusion, smile, and pretend you know what you are doing!

9.   “He Who Must Not Be Named” travel shots



To get these shots….you really have to be in the mood!!  I try to totally ignore the strange looks and have some fun.

10.   Colorful Shots



These are my favorite type of shots…..Color….And Lots Of It!!

I bet you guys would find that you’ve done a lot of creative stuff too.  I think documenting it helps keep me on track with my progress.  It also helps me remember something I haven’t yet done but would like to do in the future. 

Here’s to 2011 and I hope everyone has a Wonderful 2012!!
