paper and presents
one of the things I love most is wrapping presents. seriously, if I could make a living wrapping presents, that would be my career of choice, hands down. I know most people do not find joy in it, but there is something about making a gift pretty for its recipient. there is a satisfaction in making crisp corner folds of beautiful wrapping paper. I love seeing the look on a friends face, especially when they make a comment like "i knew this was from you". I am not a center of attention person by nature, but somewhere in that bit of recognition, my heart soars :)

wishes and books
i cannot believe i did it - i actually wrote on the first page of a journal! back in this post, i explained that i have a thing about never writing on the first page because i feel like it is such an important page and i don't want to mess it up. crazy, i know!
anyway, i've recently finished the book "the wishing year" and it really spoke to me. it ended up being a book heavy on references and light on actual story line which wasn't great, but i did end up learning a lot about the art/history of wishing. i learned that in order to truly wish for something, you need to be very specific in your desires and very discerning. no wishy washyness allowed. no generalizations. wishing is heavily grounded in the laws of positive and negative energy. if you direct a lot of your attention towards your wish, you will attract positive energy into your life which will then usher in the manifestation of your wish.
when i finished reading, i decided i needed to do something about my own wishes - that's where my new journal comes in. the cover is really a bunch of doodles that came from my rapidiograph and colored pencils and i have already created a few pages of wishes the same way. so there you have it, a photo of "my very own wish book". but i will only ever show you the cover because after all, we all know that a wish told never comes true ;)

congratulations and a tutorial
click here for my new tutorial! i made this congratulations banner for a recent baby shower i threw, but it would work for a ton of different parties with just a change of ribbon color. the glitter letters are made by hand and i found sweet glitter birds to hang off of each tag at target during the holidays, but any trinket would work. as always, let me know if you have any questions.sorry about the poor image, but this sucker is hard to photograph!
