My One Little Word for 2012 is FOCUS. And it's really a big word. With a lot of challenge in it. I can't say at this point how it will play out. HAPPY still seems to have a hold on me and FOCUS hasn't really made itself felt yet. But I'm sure it is coming...
Here's my self-portrait to fulfill the January prompt. I honestly like last year's a lot better... but this is me... this is now... And there is no questioning but that I'm a work in progress...
My January page. I am using "FOCUS" as both a noun and a verb. And I love all the things focus can potentially bring into my life if I allow it.
I also love that the origins of the word "focus" go back to home and family... without a doubt the most important things I need to be focusing on!
Finally - close-ups of two of my cards. Here's where I got to play and create a little - book pages, butterfly stamp, watercolors... and the dimensional butterflies were made using decorative tape on cardstock and then punched and added bling.

Beautiful work this month, Cheri. I love the dictionary page and the butterflies are precious. Really cool stuff. xoxo
You're the second one I've seen so far who chose focus as their OLW ~ it's a great choice!
Love the pink - everything looks so feminine and delicate.
Yay! Another person that chose FOCUS! That wss my word last year and it taught me SO much! Can't wait to see where it leads you... Your canvases are beautiful (as is your selfie!). Blessings as your discover focus this year.
A gorgeous page,Cheri.

Love, Love, Love your colors! Your pages turned out beautiful. Love the Mozart quote...I need to learn how to do that.
Wonderful images and colours - the entymology of FOCUS is amazing to me as it is my word too. I am also using it as a noun and a verb this year. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Thanks for sharing your word.... I think it may be a sub theme for me... rest and focus - especially since I just enrolled in a graduate course...
