January Challenge at ABS

There's a new Challenge going on over at Art Bead Scene! I just love the colors in this month's inspiration picture. 

You'll find all the info here, if you want to join in the fun. I can imagine lots of ways to capture the spirit of this picture, so it'll be fun to see what you all come up with, too.

Do you make New Year's Resolutions?

Now that the holidays are past, I really want to get back into creativity mode.

I think the best way is to have a sort of schedule or plan.

So that I maximize the use of the limited amount of "open" time I find myself with now.

I have lots of ideas for things I want to do and try this year.

It's also good to keep things flexible, so it's fun and not a chore.

I was thinking of some sort of bead swap or round robin project, to keep things interesting, and give a goal.  If any of you are interested in playing along, or have ideas you've been mulling, post here and let's come up with a 

New Year Swap Design Inspiration!
