During the year long OLW class with Ali Edwards we always do a vision board. Some years I have done this and others not so much. I love vision boards and I love how they are a constant reminder of what your vision is.
I have a cork board in my craft room that usually gets stuff stuck to it and it just stays there until I stick something else over or near it. I don't really pay much attention to it. It's just there with "stuff" on it.
When I walk into my craft room the first thing I see is my cork board. Early on in January I walked into my craft room, looked at the cork board and thought, I need to clean that "stuff" off. So I removed everything and then found myself standing in front of the board, staring at it blankly. I had many thoughts going through my mind but mostly I kept thinking, I need to use this for something important. Something that will make me stop every time I walk into my craft room. And then it hit me. A vision board. Why not do a vision board every month focusing on my OLW. It could be added to, changed, things removed based on what I want to focus on for that month.
For the past three weeks I have been finding bits and pieces that speak to me. Pieces that will help me stay focused on my OLW. I haven't really worried too much about where things should go or if they match. I just filled up spaces, overlapped pieces and added words. I used procreate to hand write my OLW and then cut it out in my Silhouette Cameo.
The end result... perfect and I love it.
I photographed my board and added it to my photobook file. I also added some typed words to highlight the main points of my vision board. I can't wait to see how these boards change over the year.

Wonderful! Having a changing and developing vision board is a great idea - it must really help you to focus and be continually reminded of your word. Love all the little bits of artwork on it too. I think Ali's vision board is going to be happening in February so you are well ahead of the curve :).
