197/365 - NIXON

197/365 – NIXON

Day 197 of the 365 Journey.

“I AM NOOOOOOOOOT A CROOK” The Famous words from Tricky Dick, just prior to his resignation on August 9th, 1974 due to his involvement with the Watergate Break-in scandal. What does any of this have to do with “MY” 365? Nothing really, I just needed something really cool to accentuate the final day of my week long hand challenge! What better way to spotlight the hands then to show my support for world peace….right?!

 

Now my Week long hand challenge is over, and I NEED another one! Anyone out there have ANY ideas for me? Anyone? Anything at all? Now I’m not saying I’m going to do whatever you suggest, but if you have any idea…..I’d be more then open to the possibilities! I had a lot of fun over the past 7 days…..racking my brain more than usual; working within tighter constraints; and pushing myself even further than normal. I’m taking ideas starting…………………………………………………….NOW!

 

Happy Friday!
