Louise Hay affirmation:   “I choose to react as though I have found a treasure where I discover something else to release.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Make something out of toast or bread.

Media:  Book pages, Magazine, Catalog, and Book photos, Matte medium, Glue stick, Tissue paper, Scrapbook paper

Time:  1H:30M

Comments:  Used to have a dog that loved bread more than anyone I've ever met.  Each slice, each loaf, each roll, each full birthday cake sneaked from the counter when no one was looking - a treasure.

The background paper of this collage is made up of poems and prose on the subject of grandmothers and mothers.  Have had both in mind over the last few days.  Some surprising thoughts and memories have risen that I've discovered a need to release.   No blame, no anger, no resentment - just treasure (like SlowMo found in his loaves of bread).

Louise Hay affirmation:   “I see the past as necessary to bring me to where I am today.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Create something with the napkin (or paper or cloth) that you use at a meal today.

Media:  Dinner napkin, Magazine and Catalog photos, Matte medium, Watercolor

Time:   1H:5M

Comments:  Today’s affirmation is one that it’s taken me a while to embrace.  Hard to see the good in all of it, at the time it was happening, but luckily memories fade.  Things that seemed unforgettable when they occurred blur with the distance of a few years.
