I just completed my January prompts for Ali Edward's One Little Word project. I admit, when I signed up for this, I wondered if the project would really help me make my chosen word a reality. Would I actually feel like my word [PEACE] was tangible and more a part of my heart and thoughts??...just from a scrapbooking project?? After today, I'm encouraged and thrilled that the answer to that question is YES. Just a couple hours working on the January homework, and I already feel like I've learned a little about who I am. And who I want to be. In relation to the word, peace.
We had to take a self photograph for the first page. (Yes. I have my dreads back. I will give you a heads-up, they are crazy and colorful...it's a shame I'm such a subtle person:). Then, for the second larger page, I filled in the class cards: the definition of PEACE, synonyms, my invitation, because, and a PEACE quote. It all made me reflect on why I chose this word for 2012. And where I hope it takes me.
It is a splendid project that I'm totally enjoying. Can't wait till February! Are any of you doing One Little Word?? Leave me a link to your posts! I'd love to peek at your own progress!!

That quote is quite super. I love what you have done with that bicycle & how you have put it all together. I'm looking forward to seeing what colours the dreads are as you've quite intrigued me.

ReplyDeleteI'm not doing the One Little Word project, but I'd have to wonder what my word for 2012 would be? Perhaps, "focus"

This is gorgeous, take care, Doreen x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project, such a wonderful word you have chosen. Must have been very difficult to have chosen one word, there are so many to pick from. Isn't language one of the most wonderful things that we have - and the written word can be so beautiful as well, shown quite clearly by your page.
ReplyDeleteThere now, I'm waffling - I do that a lot! Maybe, if I'd done this, a word for me to pick would've been quiet!!!
