29 faces and other challanges

So exciting, September is filling up with challanges!  I am joining the 29 faces in September challange!  We are supposed to make 29 faces of any kind during September.  I am really looking forward to it since I have been taking Life Book 2012 and Fab Faces.  It should be fun to have even more face time practice! :)  Woot.  You can find information on the challange at ths link http://ilove2paint.blogspot.com/p/29-faces-sept.html  It looks to be fun!  I just hope I can keep up with posting on a daily basis!  I wonder if youtube videos count as posting?  :)

Secondly, I am doing my own Smashing Art Writing Journal challange 2 (SAW2).  I hosted the art journal challange in July, this is the second round.  You can check that out here on my youtube channel. http://youtu.be/sQ0Bm253xss
