31 Days {Day 2}

How are your Art Journal covers coming along? I know some of you already had something in mind...remember what I said...this is all YOU! Whatever makes you happy and feel like creating...do that!!:)

I also wanted to let you know that during the Challenge I will reply to every comment made here. Be sure and stop back by. Okay, let's get to Day 2!!

Challenge #2

Have you heard of the amazing and very talented Melody Ross?

She has created this wonderful site I visit frequently called "Brave Girl's Club" I was sooo blessed when my Mom surprised me with a spot in Melody's "Soul Restoration" class. I am just finishing it up this week and can't say enough wonderful things about it!! She will be offering this very same class again in April. I highly recommend it! Click here to sign up!!

I came away from this class with my heart full and a clearer vision of what my purpose on this Earth is. I am so grateful for Melody and the rest of her Brave Girls. They really gave their all in this class.

Anyway, throughout the course we listened to our "Truthteller". This can be God, our guardian angel, perhaps a loved one that has passed on. Melody told us to use a bird or something else that has meaning to us {like a butterfly} to represent our Truthteller. This one idea has made me a better person...{there is really so much more about this Truthteller...you MUST take the class!!}

During "Soul Restoration" I realized that I had been surrounding myself with birds for several years. Here are just a few I have around my home...

This little sweetie sits on my bedroom dresser.

One of the first Bird images I picked up...found in a quaint shop in Utah a few years back.

My fave little birdie:) Sits on my armoir with her house in my bedroom. She makes me smile.

A friend made me for collaging.

Love these stickers. They are pinned up on my bulletin board.

A friend made me years ago. It is on my bulletin board, too. Such a nice reminder:)

An image I printed off from Graphics Fairy. I plan on using it in my Art Journal one of these days.

Without knowing it I had been collecting bird stamps, too. 

Each of these is from a different set except for the owls.

My favorite stamp is that tiny bird on the upper left side by the owl. I use him on everything!

Since taking Melody's class every time I see a bird I think about Truth...I think about what is the Truth about what is happening in my life right now. It seems a bit crazy that something so simple can have so much power...I know. But it does.

So, here is your Challenge for Day #2...go back through your craft projects, your layouts and supplies. Is their one object or theme you keep repeating? Does that image show up throughout your home, too? Are you like me and have birds {or butterflies or sunshines or stars or moons or whatever} on your walls, your dishes...even on your favorite t-shirt? If you don't have one...I want you to really think about this. Every time you see this image I want you to think about your creativity, what it means to you and what is the TRUTH about it.

You are talented.

You are worth it. 

You are perfect just the way you are.

What image can be your Guide throughout this creative journey?

Take today and think about it and have an image chosen by Day 3. You probably already have several images in your art supplies. Be sure and gather everything you have so you can use them throughout your journey.
