Introducing my One Little Word 2011 - Balance...

Alot of people are joining Ali Edwards on the One Little Word journey this year.
Last year my word was PLAY.  The word chose me and I was excited at the idea and then ... I totally forgot about it!! (Blush! #fail)
This year I am excited to join with Ali and other class mates to embrace my word far more poetically and creatively.
My word 'found' me again this year.  I have a set of word cards.  Printed on each card is a word. Nothing more than that. But the feelings evoked by each word are very very real.  I always pick a card every morning and decided to do that to find my word for the year - or rather for the Fates to guide it to me! And thus BALANCE entered by life for 2011. I'm really excited as its a great word!!

To document by journey with Balance I will be following Ali's monthly prompts for the class over at Big Picture Classes and showing my work on my blog.

As a little extra to the prompts I decided to create something to show my word off! 
I fell in love with the free Christmas printables that the talented SJ gave away on her blog. and so decided to steal the idea and make my own with some free font downloads found for me by my lovely man and PSE!
Here is what I created:

And here it is on the shelf {love}:

Are you also embracing a word for 2011? I'd love to hear what it is...
