Teasure Mapping towards your GOALS..

[Evie.Lou]

I have been working on a Treasure Map and thought some of you may find it helpful,as well.Treasure mapping is making a collage of pictures and words that represent a goal that you want to obtain.I collect pictures from Magazines and such.I then us a scrap booking technique with different pages being focused on different goals.Health is one of the most important for me so I have pictures of me in good health.I also have pictures of activities that i can do and will be able to do,once i am healthier.You can make a relationship goal page,finance,vacations even a new car what ever..etc. etc.The more you work on it,the more it will work on you and it's FUN..

Evie - this is much like a "vision board", right? I have one and I swear it works. I meditate and pray on what it is I want in my life. Right now I have a picture of a glass of wine with a strike through it (like a no parking sign) - apparentlly that one needs work, sigh, a picture of a really healthy, fit woman, a picture of my kids smiling and happy etc. All the things I want for myself and my family. I spend at least 10 minutes a day concentrating on it, praying about it, etc. It is great.

When I move in a few weeks, we are going to have a craft area where we can leave out our messes. Our sewing machine, our Sculpy, our paints, our calligraphy pens...ahhhh!! So I can start my treasure map. I love this idea!! I feel like it is time for me to start to dream again, and imagine possibilities.

Thank you for this inspiring thread.

Okay, we are all upgrading from scrappers to Treasure Hunters, agreed? And every map will be a unique masterpiece that we can share pictures of. O2M, you asked about what to use earlier. To get yourself started, get whatever your can find and afford. You can always upgrade later. I try to use products that are acid and lignin free. But when I do pages with Hanna (GD), it's anything goes. The one thing I strongly suggest is that you use page protectors and NOT magnetic photo covers. The turn icky over time.
Evielou, I bet you have some ideas for journaling words of inspiration
All of us are creative so anyone can do this - think back to how creative we were with AL use and abuse.

AWSOME! I haven't made a real "stick the pictures on the page" scrap book since I was a freshman in highschool! A "Dream Book"! I'm ready! Keep posting you guys. All ideas. Oh soooooo fun! Can't wait to start!

Yes, Evielou, that is a great word! O2M, you don't need to ask for anything special at the shops, just read the packaging. Have I complicated things? Sorry if I have - just trying to keep it simple. Let me know if I can word things differently. Sometimes I get to technical. I'm sorry

My book is titled "Things That Define Me." I will post some photos tomorrow. This is from a kit that I picked apart but may serve as a template to start with. It will include:
Embarrassing moments - so I don't forget
Heartaches that taught me a lesson
Friends from childhood
Movies
Fashion fads
Things that scare me
Ways I have changed over time
Pictures I love
Things I want to achieve
Things I miss about childhood
Now, my map is expandable so suggestions are welcome! I like Evielou's idea of magazine photos.
