Being creative is important to me because...
I cannot begin to explain why being creative is just an important part of my life.

PROJECT 365 FAVORITES 2011
Here are my favorites images from my Project 365 2011





















I am planning on doing my Project 365 again for 2012. (Actually it is going to be called a 366 because it is a leap year) I have decided to only post them on Saturday every week. It should be much less stressful. Taking the image was the easy part. Finding the time to keyword and upload was the hard part.
