Dream: <3 I'm a pisces so dreaming is basically my favorite activity!

Report Card: I teach upper elementary students and the first nine weeks just ended. I think I'm going to do this activity with them so they can celebrate the things they're proud of themselves for accomplishing so far this school year.

Map: I didn't really feel like drawing a traditional map...so I drew a Halloween picture instead!

My Sky: This was a great prompt and chance to release some of those emotions I've been feeling!

HOME: I always wanted a fireplace mantel to decorate and now I have one in our new home. I love this little autumn display. The deer figurine was an heirloom from my husband's grandmother. I made the felt ball garland at our last house several years ago and I switch out the colors with the seasons. The rounded glass vase was made locally in West Virginia (where I lived for the past seven years), the faux eucalyptus was from an impromptu Target trip after work on a day when I needed a pick-me-up, and the dried orange flowers were a recent "free gift" that came with an Etsy purchase. I love that the items in my home all have a history, a story, and a memory.

I wonder: Mostly I just felt like drawing some ducks!

Body Love: Accepting my physical body has been a tough journey for me, and I still slip into some negative self talk sometimes. Yoga, meditation, and therapy have all made such a difference in how I view and think about myself and my body.

Belly Laugh: My husband and I went to a local farm for their Fall Festival which included a hay ride, games, corn maze, pumpkin patch, etc.. It was so much fun, and while we were there he cracked me up attempting to jump onto and across a set of hay bales.

Mindful Of: It was a treat to just chill out in my sunroom and take the time to appreciate the world around me with all five of my senses. Thanks for this prompt!

Favorite Color- Pink of course! I enjoyed sticking to a monochrome for this one.

The Future: This is a very optimistic representation, but why not dream big? I've never drawn nude figures, so I thought I'd challenge myself with this tarot card. Not quite happy with it (lol), but it was fun to try!

Present: Everything about my life is very new right now, and while that's a bit tough, it's also very exciting- this is my chance to recreate myself, start new habits and traditions, and try moving in a new direction. The message for this tarot card is "Manifest your desires."

Past: The idea of thinking through the Past-Present-Future brought to mind a type of Tarot card spread, so I thought I'd have fun with these next three and choose cards from my recent readings! I'm going to make the layout of these cohesive and limit my palette to just three colors for the tarot card. The Moon is a good representation of my past because I had to make the decision to stay in my current town and job or to leap into the unknown by moving to a new place without a job lined up (very scary!).

Greetings From: My New Life

My husband and I just moved to Pittsburgh! It's been an emotional rollercoaster, but I'm trying to embrace the opportunity to have a fresh start and recreate my life.
