Inspiring ideas – My Group analysis was cancelled for today, I was disappointed, then turned it into creativity – Making Collages! Christmas presents?

So, I had a phone call today at 9am saying that the psychotherapist cannot take today’s group analysis. I had written down a lot of stuff last night as I’d had a mini trauma and was really looking forward to getting it all out in words in group today but never mind. Instead, I made two collages this morning, from photos and pictures.

I bought two big plastic fronted clip frames years ago and have never used them. I have also been trying to put all my pictures up on the walls, but ran out of suitable frames, so I thought, let’s make a collage – I haven’t done that since I was a child. Now, I am always changing and moving stuff around in my home, and I am (nearly) qualified in interior design (yep another thing I began and dropped out of near the end!). I love to design little spaces in my house, as I don’t have much room.

So, I (being mindful) took all my left over pictures/paintings I have collected from abroad, childhood photos, recent photos, photos Chris bought from my 40^th Birthday cruise last year, aerial and other photos I have taken of places and scenes, and put them all together in a frame. It came out so well, I made another one!

If you haven’t much money to spare, then these are a great way to jazz up a wall and inspire good memories, and you can change them any time too and how about making one for someone special as a Christmas present…:-)

So now, when eating my dinner I not only have the fish in my second tank to watch, but some lovely photos and memories to ponder over and if anyone comes round, it will make a good talking point 🙂

I have now inspired myself to search for a placement for my Counselling level 4 diploma course - yay 🙂
