My Word for 2011 and Easy "Art"

I have seen Word Clouds of sorts on various blogs but until today I have never played around with them. Recently I discovered a wonderful website called Big Picture Classes. Ali Edwards is teaching a year long class utilizing the word you pick for the year. I think her word is Light. Kimmy's word is Intentional. My word is Action. I wanted to create something with my word that I can post somewhere as a reminder to me throughout the year.
I went to www.wordle.net, selected "create" on the top bar of tabs, wrote a bunch of synonyms for "action" that I found here http://thesaurus.com/, played around with the layout, fonts, and colors until I was happy, then I printed it. Easy-peasy! :)


It was so easy and fun that I decided to create some "art" for my living room!

Have you played much with wordle.net? I'd love to see what you've done!
Happy New Year!
