A group of ladies from Ali Edwards' class, One Little Word, have put together a OLW Blog Hop to share our photos, thoughts, inspirations, experiences and class projects. Each inspired by a personal word for 2011.
All of the following will be put together in an 8.5 x 11 album to capture this experience. This journey.
One Little Word | Embrace [who I am]
One little word can have a big impact on your life. A journey shared.
January
This book is where all of my thoughts and plans for my OLW for 2011 began.
The Words
The Details
In addition to the album I'm creating with Ali's class I am participating in the 52 Week Project, 52 weeks of self portraits. The 52 self portraits will be added to my OLW album. Initially my plan was to include the 4 January self portraits in this post but, my comfort zone is behind the camera and decided that is way too many photos of myself in one post. Visit the 52 Week Flickr Group to see the self portraits shared by the members. It's very cool to see the photos the everyone shares each week.
And last but not least. I'm hosting a weekly One Little Word | Captured photography challenge. Every Saturday I share a photo that somehow depicts my OLW along with a linky for others to share as well. It's been great seeing the photos, reading the words and following the journey's of the participants. Consider joining anytime even if it's not every week. For the challenge details go to One Little Word | Captured.

Beautiful post Jill - I'm also reading The Gifts of Imperfection (for the third time) and participating in the Mondo Beyondo Dream Lab based on the book. This book (along with Brene's book I Thought It Was Just Me) is one of the best and most uplifting works I've read in a long time!

Wow Jill, this album looks great and now you have me wishing I had taken this class along with you. Love everything about this pocket page: your journaling and typography, the papers, the monogram! Well done and I look forward to seeing more.

Just when I can't imagine loving all you do any more you do this. I've been buried and completely forgot to sign on for the blog hop. I'm looking forward to a day of reading goodness and I'm thrilled to have started with you :)
