GPP Street Team

A year or 2 ago I noticed blogs for the first time. I remember doing a google search for something and fell into someones blog. I started reading...and I kinda felt like I was invading the persons privacy. Like I found a diary and started reading it. I read an article about blogs and heard more about them and found out that it actually is a good way to connect with others with the same interests....To document what's going on in your life and art or any subject you care enough to spend time writing about/photographing. I am an obsessed crafter/art creater. I paint, quilt, glue, glitter, stamp, draw, create. I create because I have to...not so much to get things created.
So I started my own blog last year after reading other blogs. I honestly don't know if this reaches anyone but it doesn't matter because it's mostly for myself. I like having an archive in this media. I share little bits of my life. I don't have time to share everything and if I did it would be boring.
I'm surrounded by people who don't make things. Having this blog makes me feel like I'm more connected to what I do.
With that said... now I've been turned on to challenges. I found a challenge sight that took me to challenge sight to challenge sight...It's like the cream on top of the art+blog. It's so inspiring to see what people create. And there is a different challenge for all the different types of art. Drawing, stamping, mixed media, photography...etc. I haven't seen one for art+quilting or fabric but I'm sure the mixed media would accept fabric. I haven't participated on one yet but I do want to. I found a site called GPP Street Team. The challenge this month is to create a Journal Kit. And share a photo on your blog. The kit due date is 3/1/08 so I'd better get cracking if I'm gonna do it. I'm running out of time. I am the queen of last minute.
