Word of the Year Challenge at Flying Unicorn ..

This month I am running a Word of the Year Challenge over at Flying Unicorn Forum. Here is a direct link to the  Challenge.  The rules and RAK of the challenge are copied nad pasted below. Hope you'll consider coming by and playing along! Love to see you there!

"Happy New Year, everyone! My challenge for you this month is something a bit different. What I’d like for you to do is identify a single word that sums up what you want for yourself in 2012. This is a concept taken from the work of Ali Edwards. Here is how she defines the Word of the Year:

“Essentially the idea is to choose a word (or let it choose you) that has the potential to make an impact on your life. Maybe you want to invite something or maybe you are hoping to subtract something. Maybe your word will be practical or hopeful or creative or fanciful. Maybe you need a big word, something in-your-face that will challenge you everyday. Maybe you need something smaller and quieter that will whisper gentle tidings as you make your way throughout the year. Whatever word you end up with, make sure it is your word (not your sister’s, mom’s, partner’s, child’s, etc)”

Now, what I would like for you to do is a layout .. using your Word of the Year in your title. In my example below, I have used the word relaxing. My word of the year for 2012 is Rest. . Now that might sound a bit crazy to you but it is something that I seriously need to work into my hectic schedule. I have a tendency to push too hard, to always be busy doing something and I have gotten my life a bit out of balance by not incorporating enough true relaxation into my schedule. I need to take more time to breath, to do something apart from all my regular commitments .. and make sure that I take care of me .. so that I can take care of the rest.

Here’s my digital example:

Rules are:

1. Your project MUST be new as of Jan 1, 2012.

2. Your project must have YOUR Word of the Year included in the title or sentiment.  Please choose your word thoughtfully.

3. Only 3 entries per person. Of course, your Word of the Year will be the same for all 3.

4. You may not use this for any other challenge in the Flying Unicorn forum.

5. LO's are preferred for the first entry but cards, tags and altered projects are welcome on 2nd and 3rd entries.

6. All projects must be uploaded here in the thread and please leave love for other participants in the gallery.
7. The winner will be chosen by Random.org and announced the evening of Jan 31st."
