In an effort to stretch myself, I have decided to take on two challenging things this month. One is not too, too much of a challenge as it is writing for 30 days. I pretty much do this anyway but it challenges me to stay on task. I wasn't too off kilter though because at least I am not writing a novel...yet.
The second challenge I decided to take on was creating art everyday. Yes, 30 days of art on top of my writing. This is much more of a challenge because generally I am a fly by night artist. This will certainly stretch me as a person but I want to do it and believe I can.
Both challenges can be found on my sidebar over there--->
So, yes, I plead insanity! However, I feel strongly that if we do not attempt to stretch ourselves and get out of our comfort zones once in awhile, then we become stagnant. I do not care to go through life as a blob.
Having said all that, my post from this point forward, will include both things. I welcome your encouragement in comments and by all means follow me if you haven't already. I will catch up with you too.
This is my first entry for the Art A Day post.

So awesome! But all of the fallen leaves, is that not real? Going now...
That's a lot to take on, but it sounds like you're ready to go. Good luck with both challenges this month.
I don't want to go thru my life living like a bolb either. Congratulations on challenging yourself and good luck. Your rock/skull is awesome!
That's a lot to take on! I'm impressed. :) The skull turned out really well! Found you via Yeah Write.
Fabulous skull! Love Day of the Dead artwork.
That's great to take on two challenges at once, and smart to combine them! I did NaBloPoMo last year when I had just started blogging, and it really gave me the momentum I needed to get going. Good luck!
Well, those are really different I must say! So, motivation is what you have to be thankful for today huh? hehehehe Have a great weekend.
wow very cool art project d way to go taking on the challenge
Cool project! An art project a day might be challenging, but I would imagine it is also a way to relieve stress and really inspire yourself to embrace life. Awesome!
I love the dia Los muertos skull. I'm a fellow artist but I slack. As in its been months.
Oh, how fun! I'm looking forward to reading your posts this month and to seeing your art pieces, too!
