It is time for jen of painted fish studio and my monthly polaroid collaboration. This is the twelfth in a series of twelve. The last in this series. So the collaboration goes like this...Jen and I alternate picking a word and on the last day of each month we share our polaroid interpretation of that word on our blogs. This month Jen selected the word Jen. There is a story behind this of course. Last March Jen was feeling the winter blahs in MN. I told Jen she needed a trip to sunny california. Here is the "invitation" i sent. She decided to take me up on my offer. The next step was deciding when she would come to CA. We both agreed that August would work best for both of us and then Jen booked her flight. It was not long after that, that Jen realized not only was August the last month of our 12 month polaroid collaboration, it was also the first time we would get to meet face to face. She immediately knew that the word she would choose for august had to incorporate our meeting somehow. Of course i agreed. The perfect way to end the collaboration.

Jen is fun, sweet, smart and incredibly generous. I loved having her here. She inspired me and encouraged life me to start blogging again on a more regular basis. I am thinking about it seriously, I have one more big life hurtle to clear and after that it should be smooth(er) sailing. We also talked about other collaborations and project we could do together. We also decided that we are not quite ready to hang our polaroid word collaboration up just yet. So September we will start a new year. Here's to a new year of polaroid Jen, cheers.
