One of my most favorite blogs to read is the Nesting Place. And every year in October she writes a themed series on a certain topic, every day of the month... this year her topic is Home. On Purpose. I've always loved reading what she has to say during these series. She invites everyone to join in and blog their own 31 days topic. So this year I've decided to take the plunge because I have really wanted to play around more with watercolor :) Wooohooo!!
Now, 31 days, everyday is quite a committment, but I'm taking on the challenge. {And I will be away from my computer the later half of this week, so I'm trying to figure out how I will work that out} but I'm excited to spend the month of October doing this.
NOW... let's get one thing straight!! By no means do I want you to think I will produce some sort of masterpiece every single day.... or at ALL even! In fact I may just spend 5 minutes doing it. I'm just playing with it.. to see what happens.. low pressure.. fun!! and creative. Just a way to keep myself accountable to work with a new medium.

Love your series idea. I was originally SO tempted to do this too... I'm a children's book artist. But I really wanted to play around in a watercolor sketchbook. I ended up doing 31 Days of Children's Book Crushes. Have lots of fun! Looking forward to seeing your work. =)
