Tonight is the Full Frost Moon and time for creating the full moon dreamboard with Jamie Ridler of Jamie Ridler Studios.
Since I began creating these over a year ago I have seen many trends and some surprises. Today's was no different.

With the holiday season quickly approaching I knew some of that spirit would be in this dreamboard. Balance and creativity, which always seem to be in my boards, showed up again.
What I was surprised about was the car in snow that demanded to be placed there! I have never liked driving in snow, so it wasn't too unexpected. But then the words "Oh Yes I can" appeared and I knew it was a challenge to the image - a needed one.
"Stirring up memories" was a bit of a surprise as well - memories of the accident and but also of my father. The anniversary of his death is tomorrow. But memories can be healing and the need to balance past with present is present here as well.

Weekly Wrap-up
This week I have been struggling with illness and finally got medication. Hopefully, I am now on the mend. Even tho I was home 2 days, I did not get much done creatively. Looking at and appreciating other's artwork was an enjoyable past-time. Lots of inspiration out there!
I created one set of collage cards for an ATC swap and that was easy and fun.
I also did 2 collages in my AEDM journal.
One was just playing with papers
and the other was of smiling children. Thought this look at children around the world would be uplifting.
I am continuing work on a large zentangle. It is coming slowly tho!
I continue to take part in the Photo a Day. These are a few of my favourites this past week.
GPP Challenge "What's your Hang -Up"
The only artwork I have framed so far is this pair of flowers I did in oils, in the style of Georgia O'Keeffe and Helen Lukas.
The challenge now is to frame more of my work!
Be sure to check out the other participants here.

I put a picture in my board about balance. Interesting board.
Bev - thanks for sharing your 'hang-ups' with the team :) I hope you'll be framing more!!
Lovely flowers ... hope to see more :)
Your dreamboard is lovely, so festive and quite inspiring. I hope I can make peace with snow like you are trying to do. May your medication help you too, it's a challenging time of year in many ways. Thanks for sharing the dreamboarding journey with us.
This is beautiful. I am grateful you shared with us! I didn't do a dream board this time - so busy in life I completely forgot - but am continuing to create art through art every day month.
My AEDM check in is here.
I enjoyed hearing about your thoughts on your dreamboard. And for being ill, I must say, it seems you accomplished a lot this week. :) May all your dreams come true.
Yes you can! What a powerful message to show up this season, a reminder that you can create what you want, face the challenges ahead and heal your heart. Yes, you can.
May all of your dreams come true.

Thanks for sharing. I'm sure you have more you can hang up with all your creativity.
