I must say I really enjoyed this week's challenge; creating a vision board. I had a few magazines that I wanted to cull anyway so I cut them up before recycling them. I love Pinterest but there's nothing quite like cutting and glueing. It reminds me of school in a good way.
I started cutting pictures out without really focusing on what I was supposed to be envisioning. I did continue cutting out whatever I wanted using my instinct more than anything. I also just glued everything wherever I felt like it, no method to my madness! It worked out pretty well I think.
I did have to leave a lot out as they either didn't fit with my vision or on the actual board. Love, family, house, garden, exercise and healthy food are the main focus. I also added some red lips with lovely white teeth as I'd love to have lovely teeth again and the confidence to wear red lips. It symbolises confidence and saying goodbye to anxiety.
Just like my goals I've made an effort to start small. I don't want my vision board to be too over the top. I've made sure it's still ambitious with holidays, a lovely girly room and beautiful gardens.
I'm putting my vision board in the kitchen or above the TV to remind me to stay positive and focused. They are the main places I think I would notice it. Actually I'd probably notice it most in the bathroom but I think it'd get ruined quickly due to the moisture, so it's not going in there!
This vision board was so easy to do that I don't mind making bigger ones or one with the mister's input as well. Maybe the whole house can be covered with vision boards!

Have you got a vision board?
Ohhh I love it! I did mine like you - just started cutting and off I went! I love the mix of words and pictures!
ReplyDeleteI think that it's the best way, comes out interesting!
DeleteI love that you did your clippings through instinct, letting your heart rather than your head choose :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so rare for me to do that, I really enjoyed it!
DeleteI also made one by hand- some poster board, scissors, glue and a printer {not much access to English language magazines or decent pictures} and had a lot of fun. I might make a digital one in the future though.
ReplyDeleteLove the words put over the pictures and can see how this vision board reflects you.
Thanks for sharing {I am uploading my photos now and will post later today}
We are so lucky these days that we can do both hand and digital vision boards these days!
DeleteI'm off to check yours now :)
Great stuff - love the "enjoy the little things (and say i love you)" bit - definitely go by instinct with vision board - like being led by your gut you are drawn to images and words for a reason even if not everything makes it onto the board!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised at how good it felt going by instinct!
DeleteHi Ames, I'm just catching up on a few SYL blogs and I love yours! I love your vision board, and yes, you are quite right when you say "there's nothing quite like cutting and glueing",I just love having magazine cutting days with my girls, it's lots of fun! I also love your '26 before 26', such a wonderful idea, and something I think I may just have to start myself!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words Mel!
DeleteOh yes it's so rewarding doing a before birthday list, as long as you remember about it - I keep forgetting haha!
I'm off to check yours out now :)
