Creative Every Day Check-In: October 29 – November 4
October 29th, 2012, Comments (13)
Art Every Day Month is next month! I hope you're excited! If you're looking for a little extra help through AEDM, check out the Survival Guide!
Starting next week, I won't have the weekly check-in because there will be a daily check-in for Art Every Day Month. For Creative Every Day participants who are not participating in AEDM, feel free to add your links to any of the daily Art Every Day Month check-in posts. Your weekly challenges will return in December!
This weekly check-in post is a place for Creative Every Day Challenge participants to share their creative activities.
Join in the Challenge: You can now sign-up for the 2012 Challenge here!
Ways to share: Once you've signed up, you can leave a comment on this post and/or use the "Mr. Linky" widget below to link to a blog post(s) about your creative activities during the days of 10/22/12 - 10/28/12.
The widget below is an optional method of sharing your creativity that makes it easier for others to check out what you're up to. You can use it to link to a blog post (or posts) or flickr image during the week listed. Or if you have a bunch of posts and don't want to link to all of them, you can link to your main blog page once. Do it in a way that makes sense and is fun for you! If you're unsure about how to use the widget, check out the "How to use the Mr. Linky widget" section on the Creative Every Day Challenge page. (If you're reading this in a RSS reader or email subscription, you will not see the "Mr. Linky widget", so click on over to the blog to use it.) If the Mr. Linky widget is missing from this blog post, it's probably a problem with their server and it will come back as soon as it's fixed. You can always leave your link in the comments.
You can also take advantage of the great CED flickr group to post your images and see what others are up to. If you're on Twitter, you can use the hashtag #CED2012!
Theme: The (totally optional) theme for October is Trees. You can read more about the optional theme here.
Happy Creating!
A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease. ~John Muir

Hello, all! We're on the brink of Art Every Day Month, which is very exciting. I haven't had a lot of time this month to share things I've been doing along the tree theme, but here's a doodle I did this week. I have to say, that even though our lives are filled to the brim with creativity, finding time for painting with my toddler (who doesn't nap very long and is up at the crack of dawn) is a challenge. But I'm looking forward to AEDM because I know it will help me to make the time happen. It always does!
If you're thinking about embarking on Art Every Day Month, but are a little worried about how you'll make it happen, check out my Art Every Day Month Survival Guide. It's a private blog with daily posts filled with prompts, inspiration, art and extra support. There is also a weekly audio exercise included. You can sign up for the Survival Guide here.

Trees are poems
Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,
We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness.

I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beech-tree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines. ~Henry David Thoreau
