01 Jan focus52|2012 {week one} january 1 to 7

Here we go! A brand new year on your creative journey. What will 2012 bring to you this year?

For some of you, being here is a fresh start on a familiar project. For others, it’s a brand new project filled with possibilities! Whether you’re a returning 52’r or a first time member, I’m so glad you’ve decided to join me here this year.

The blog has a new look for 2012, and the focus52 section has been updated with the new guidelines and this year’s blog buttons (grab one!) but I thought I’d take a minute to go over the basics,

• The weekly prompt and linkup will post here every Sunday evening.
• The blog link-up and flickr pool will now be open all week instead of weekends only.
• Photos MUST be taken during the current week. No archived photos. No submissions from the previous week. Please watch your dates.
• You do NOT need to use the prompt in order to join in. The prompts are there for those who enjoy them, but this is your project, so please feel free to make it your own!

That’s about it, in a nutshell.

Let’s get to it, shall we? The prompt for this week, week one of focus52 for 2012 is …

A new year, a new project, something new that Santa left … the possibilities are endless. Let your imagination and creativity guide you!

Once you’re done, come back here and link up your work from this week (Sunday to Saturday, don’t forget!). Links must be to the direct URL of your actual work, not just to the site it’s posted in, and may be a link to your blog post or to your flickr photo. Also, please don’t link and run – try to find some time to visit at least a few of your fellow 52’ers. That’s half the fun! And don’t forget the flickr pool!

Remember, you do not need to use the prompt in order to come back here and share. We just want to enjoy what you have done :)

Have a great week! Happy New Year, everybody!
