Challenge #4
Fun House
Journaling: What is making you smile these days? Create a top 10 list of anything you want to talk about.
Creative: Write from the perspective of a house or other location.Finding new ways to be creative is definitely making smile these days. In addition to taking up needlepoint last month, which I love doing and talked about on
Day 1 (and I have ordered additional canvases to work on!), I've also finally transplanted a terrarium I made last year and plan to create more of these.
I work in a law firm, and every year we have summer associates come in, of course. Law firms want to entice summer associates to come back once they graduate, so they're treated to a lot of nice stuff: dinner events, outings to baseball games, etc. My firm also does events during the workday, and one of last year's events was a "crafting terrariums" session. A woman came in with materials and there were trays set up at all the places for each person to work. You got to pick out a container, any succulents you wanted, and then she taught everyone the steps for planting and how to care for the plants, then we spent the rest of the time decorating the terrariums with moss, etc. It was a lot of fun and I created a nice terrarium of succulents that not only survived under my black thumb, but outgrew the container.
( large pics of terrariums under the cut )I'm planning to get more succulents and create some more terrariums. Pretty soon I'll have a whole shelf of these.
I've also been trying to make my surroundings, both at home and at work, as beautiful and as comfortable as possible, and that's making me smile too.
