Louise Hay affirmation:   “My friends are loving and supportive.  
I give myself permission to be a friend.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Create a portmanteau (blending of two words to make a new word) and use it.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Magazine photos, Mod Podge

Time:  1H:10M

Comments:   Today's collage features a golden, wire bowl to represent love and a bright flower to represent support. The portmanteau (word mash-up) is a bit of a stretch, but here goes...

Beagle Hiking = "BIKING"

The man carrying his beagle in his backpack is an image from an old National Geographic and struck me as a little odd and charming at the same time.  The dog's company on a hiking/fishing excursion must be supportive to the man, and carrying his dog on his back an act of love.

While the paw on the man's shoulder makes me think the dog is calm, loving, and probably enjoying his/her outing as well.  Nice photo of friends.  I give myself permission to be a friend.

Louise Hay affirmation:   “Forgiveness, tolerance, compassion.  I move forward without hesitation.” 

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   

Look at the sky after the sun goes down today and make something inspired by what you see. 

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Magazine photos, Bow the Dog book images, Glue stick, Watercolors, Mod Podge 

Time:  1H:15M 

Comments:  Got home from work after the sun went down today to find the long-lost fence installers in my yard working on the staining of the new wooden fence.  Since we didn't know they would be working today, found my scared puppies huddled with their little knees crossed inside the house... wondering why strangers were in their yard.  

Forgiveness and tolerance. 

Decided to take them for a walk to calm their nerves.  Beautiful evening.  Encountered a rogue Pug wandering the neighborhood.  After a couple uncertain moments during the obligatory canine greetings, we moved forward without hesitation.  

Compassion.
