You'll see in each of our videos how we transformed the three handmade focals we received. From Pam Tanino I received a glittery green spinner, from Shemi a mixed media tile and from Ina a custom first name initial. Brilliant! I loved every piece.
With all of these lovely materials I made a personal (not necessarily religious) shrine for journaling. This is meant to be a way to express your thought about your past, present and future. Journal on custom made tags thoughts you have about events in your past that were wonderful experiences or that need forgiveness. Keep what makes you strong from the past and release the rest. Move to the present where you could journal about what you are grateful for or about those you love, just remember to "be present". We all have dreams for the future, write yours down! I hope you enjoy this unique way to journal. See the tools and materials list below the video links.
