Happy February!

This year is a special one because it’s a leap year; which occurs every four years.

Leap Year Poem

Thirtydays hath September, April, June and November.

All the rest have thirty-one,

Excepting February alone,

And that has twenty-eight days clear

And twenty-nine in each leap year.

Are there any Leap Year babies out there? How are you celebrating the 29^th February?

I thought I would make some goals for myself:

1. Tackle home projects: sew a quilt cover for our bed (I've been putting it off for a few months now).
2. Create some sort of artwork each day, either in my sketchbook, paper or canvas. I thought I would challenge myself to do 29 pieces of artwork.
3. Experiment with different techniques: stamping, creating my own stamps (I've been inspired by others artists who use stamps in the artwork.
4. Update my website: www.carmenbnorris.com
5. Update my Flickr account:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/carmenbnorris/
6. Document all my artwork!
