Happy New Year everyone. It is 2018. Can you believe it?
I can't.
I wonder how many times I am going to write the date as 2017 before I get it that it is now 2018.
So this month I want to send a big shout out of thanks to Susi and Elizabeth over at Art Journal Journey. They were kind enough to ask to me host, and so here I am. My theme this month is
New Year, New Adventures.
"And now let us welcome the new year, full of things that have never been."
Rainer Maria Rilke
Here's my write up from the AJJ page:
Hi, it's Erika N, also known as BioArtGal. 2018 is here. I can't believe 2017 is already over, but since it is, it's that time of year when we think about resolutions and exciting new things we might like to try. Maybe there are some new places you might like to visit. Are you picking a word for the year? Are you coming up with some goals? Do you have some new art techniques you'd like to try? Whether the new year means you have some big plans or no plans, this month it's time to think about what kind of adventures you'd like ,or plan, to have. My challenge this month is New Year, New Adventures. I can't wait to see what adventures you take us on.
Afterall the sky's the limit.
I hope you decide to join in and play along. I look forward to seeing what adventures you're planning or would like to have in this new year.
Welcome 2018!
Welcome 2018!

Happy New Year! Looking forward to seeing what you create on your arting adventures. And a tip when writing out checks: take the first dozen or so and write the new year on them. You'll be ready to go with the correct year when writing out the first few checks.
The New Year has so many opportunities! I hope I'll recognize them as they come :)
I love that rocket especially!
This is a fabulous first entry, Erika. I think it sets the mood and tone for the month. I adore it. I have goals, I have a word, and I have plans. But I have to finish with 2017 first (grin).
Thanks for hosting the first month of the year at ARt Journal Journey. Happy 2018 to you too, dear
Cool, great way to begin the new year as the hostess! xox
