Lately I have been working at challenging myself to do new and creative things. I keep seeing the 101 in 1001 days challenge on other artists blogs. I decided to try setting up my own challenges. Most of my items have to do with my art work and not my life as a whole even though I know they intertwine. There are a few that do affect my ability to do more so I included them. I want this blog to remain as my art journal. There is no order to this list just random thoughts. I am going to use Jan 1, 2009 as my start date. I do not want to loose the momentum that I have begun. September 29, 2011 is my end date.
