Call for Ideas (and Opinions)

So the LDS International Art Competition has come around again. I've been wanting to submit something for the past several years and have just never gotten around to it. This is the year. I'm going to do it.
But I've had a hard time deciding for sure what media I want to focus on. So for those of you who have seen my linocuts, books, or sculptures (like lanterns) I'd like some opinions on what you think I should do. I've been thinking about creating maybe some kind of lantern tree using cutouts of linocuts for the lantern faces, or maybe a pop-up book. Whatever I do, I will definitely be incorporating prints, so keep that in mind as you chime in.
Also, the theme this year is "Make Known His Wonderful Works". And I want to know what "wonderful works" you'd like to have made known. I'll be depicting a bunch of different things and I want to know what works (or stories, things, places, people, events) mean the most to the people who mean the most to me.
Thanks in advance for your input. I'll keep you posted with pictures of how the project is going!

Welcome to the Woods

Well, you can't argue with the inevitable forever and so we have finally descended into the blogosphere. But to be honest, I'm pretty excited about the prospect of sharing our family's adventures, music, recipes and all kinds of other goodies with you. Stay tuned...
