Description:

You will send your partner at least 10 motivational quotes or images that they can add to a vision board for 2014. They can be cut out of magazines, printed, drawn or painted, doodled, stamped, any medium is acceptable as long as it is flat and will glue well onto a board. It would be awesome to send a variety.

According to www.makeavisionboard.com, a vision board is any sort of board on which you display images that represent whatever you want to be, do or have in your life. For more information just search for Vision Board and several articles and images will come up.

Because it's hard to know other people's visions, please indicate in the comments a couple of themes that would interest you, if you like religious/spiritual items, and approximately what size board you will be using. Please refer to your partner's comment to guide you as you seek inspirational things to share.

However, you should rate a five if the 10 motivational-themed items are sent on time, whether they match your specific visions or not. Do not rate down if an item does not suit you, please just recycle it or pass it on.

I'm sorry for the quick turnaround. The idea just occurred to me and I wanted to get it out there but I also want to make sure people get their items in time to make a board before the New Year starts.

This is limited to people with a 4.95 or higher with no 1s or 3s in the last 6 months. I also reserve the right to ban if something just doesn't feel right. I will of course angel if needed.

My visions are around weight loss, falling in love, travel, and finances. I love religious/spiritual items and although I am Christian I would love to see things from other religions also. I will be making small boards each with its own theme. Each board will be about 5x7 so smaller items would be greatly appreciated.

anandatashie 11/17/2013 #

My theme for 2014 is "nourish" (body / mind / spirit / creativity). I'd love images with that word, but also especially love pictures of: up-close floral, waterfalls, moody skies, rain, sunbeams, people laughing or holding hands, anything that represents growth & nourishment. I prefer no religious images, but I'm open to ones that lean more toward metaphysical & earth spirituality.

pretty awesome thing and would love more partners though to really fill a board fully

Watching for now...

seekingjoytoday 11/21/2013 #

@tanjch I hope you decide to join. That's a great idea about more partners. I actually left it at one partner on purpose because my intent was just to give us all a start on our boards. Vision boards are so personal I want to provide most of my own but I would also love some items from a fresh perspective.

My board is all about adventure and learning. I'm an atheist, so if you send me religious items in some sort of misguided effort to convert me I will give you a 1, no matter what. You have no right to force your beliefs on me, no matter what your imaginary friend says. I find religion offensive.

TerryF 11/23/2013 #

I find your comments offensive, Little Miss Vinegar.

HippieChick 11/23/2013 #

I have to agree with @TerryF I'm not a fan of religion but would never insult a person for their beliefs, that is just plain rude. I have this swap on my watch list because I really like the idea and @seekingjoytoday is a lovely person, but now I'm just not sure.

Reallusionista 11/23/2013 #

The themes for my board are success, family, happiness, spirit, (no religious theme, please), finances.

From the FAQs:

There are only three different rating criteria: I got my stuff and it met posted swap requirements (5 points); I got my stuff, but it didn't meet the posted swap requirements (3 points); I never got anything (1 point). Keep in mind that you are NOT rating your partners on whether or not you liked what you received, only on if it met the requirements of the swap.

Thank you all for your contribution to this discussion. It's unfortunate and sad for me that a bad attitude would shed bad light on what should be a optimistic swap. I have removed the person from the swap so I hope if you are watching and were hesitating that you will still consider joining.

My board is filled with things that I enjoy so anything from my likes list would be suiting, but I will also put a shorter list here. Please keep in mind that I am easy to please and you needn't fret, I do however prefer not to recieve anything overly religious.

Things that inspire me: dandelions, lobsters, forests/trees, goddesses, skulls/skeletons, pirates, tea parties, cemeteries, gypsies, fortune telling, the Gemini symbol and constellation, spiders, the moon, stars, honey bees, gnomes.

sebastian122 11/24/2013 #

Wow. @piratecaptainmo and I are twins!! 'cept for the Gemini thing...

piratecaptainmo 11/24/2013 #

I have no complaints about that @sebastian122 :)

seekingjoytoday: Good for you! I have never done a vision board but want to support you so have joined. (";)

My profile is full of what I like but here's a short list to help my partner - I am also not easily offended and some spiritual/religious (any faith) items are fine if my partner is so inclined (but they are not mandatory).

  • Celebrating nature

  • Healthy living

  • Loving relationships

bugsandbells 11/28/2013 #

I think this is a neat idea. some things that enjoy and help my grow

Anything to do with nature and animals Anything to do with creativity flowers food inspirational and spirtual things of faith do not offended me to let you know though I am a christian.

Artistic 11/28/2013 #

Greetings: This will be my first time doing a vision board, so I'm not sure about the size. My profile is pretty detailed so my partner can use what is there as a guide.

For 2014, I have two focus areas at the moment:

  • writing (meeting my fiction deadliines, in paticular; but also maintaining my blog)

  • weight loss and exercise

HippieChick 11/29/2013 #

This will be my first vision board but I think it will be great fun!

I'm hoping to build a board around creativity and productivity, encouraging and increasing both. As well as reminding myself to exercise more. I could also use images/ quotes to remind myself not to anger so quickly. I'm fine with inspirational and spiritual quotes/ images but please nothing too religious.

Artistic 11/29/2013 #

Ack, just spotted a typo in my note above. Make that word PARTICULAR.

LikeASnowflake 11/29/2013 #

My board will be focused around positive self image, college (sea creatures would also be great for this as I'm studying marine biology), positive quotes, exercise, travel, and adventure

TerryF 11/30/2013 #

Sorry, I forgot to mention the size of my vision board: 5" x 8".

Artistic 11/30/2013 #

I think I may frame whatever I create. Just a thought as I wander a craft store! :)

Artistic 12/ 4/2013 #

A packet of images and quotes went out to my partner today. Enjoy!
