I did it! 1105 blog viewings!

I have spent the past two days and a good portion of today blog hopping through the One World, One Heart blog event.

There are so many wonderful artists and crafters out there. I'm keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed that I win something this year:) And once my brain gets some rest and few more braincells grow I'll go back to my bookmarked favorites and read some more. Thanks to all the bloggers who participated and contacted me about my posts. One day I'll get my act together and reply:)

Until then Good Night!

One World, One Heart Blog Event

I had SO much fun blog hopping with this event last year. I visited over 900 blogs to get inspiration and post a comment to be entered in each blog's giveaway of some really fantastic prizes. Many were beautiful handmade items, others were works of art. It took quite a chunk of time and perseverance to view all the blogs participating but it became an addictive treasure hunt. I didn't win anything, but if you don't enter you can't win:) Lisa Swifka of A Whimsical Bohemian created this event in 2007. So if you want to enter or participate mark you calendar for JAN 25 and check out the link in my sidebar.

Latest Journaling Project Wrapped Up

Finally finished scanning my journal submission for the Art House Sketchbook Project. This was an interesting project. I signed up and received my blank journal with the theme Elephant in the Room. It was a tough subject but I did a little research and found this great book, The Elephant in the Room: Silence and Denial in Everyday Life by Eviatar Serubavel. It was really interesting and gave me lots of inspiration.

Just in case you haven't heard about The Art House Co-op it's an online community that

creates massive, nationwide art projects that tie hundreds of artists together – and anyone can participate.

The Sketchbook Project: Library
Before joining a permanent collection, the sketchbooks will be exhibited at select galleries across the US. The library will house thousands of sketchbooks from artists that reside all over the globe. We'll be touring around the United States with the collection, followed by a permanent location for the library in 2010.

In the spring, I'm hoping to go to Chicago which is supposed to be one of the stops on the collection tour. I'm very curious to see what everyone else did with their themes.
