I posted this on another thread but I feel it deserves its own thread!
I have begun treasure mapping!

Treasure Map Your Success
Knowing exactly what you want in life is the key to getting it.
Treasure-mapping is simply the process of visualizing exactly what you want. The clearer you can see it as a reality, the sooner it manifests. The magical part about treasure-mapping is that you don’t have to know where the desired object or opportunity will come from. Gifts, contest prizes, sudden opportunities are typical outcomes. The actual process is simple: tear out color pictures in magazines or catalogs and rubber cement them to half a sheet of poster board. Currently I use a sketch book that I constantly add to page after page. Sometimes I am not even sure what I am searching for, but in the process of looking, I get clearer when an image seems to call to me. Here are some of the things I have successfully treasure-mapped: New house (complete with gazebo) New job, change in career, and career opportunities Vacations (including white-water rafting and a hot air balloon ride Clients and audiences Lifestyle, romance, jewelry and clothes Art, dishes, collectibles, cars, etc. (This is the easy stuff) My husband! Family relationships Variations, tips, and ideas: 1) Each New Year, treasure-map what you want the year to look like. Focus on opportunities, desired lifestyle changes, etc. This is a tradition for our whole family. I do the half page treasure-map at this time. I might add that children end up cutting out pictures of cute animals; they have a hard time with future goal setting. More on that later. 2) Relationships: To treasure map a spouse or special companion, concentrate on finding pictures that represent what you want the relationship to look like: how you want to be treated, what you will do together, what values you would share, etc. Avoid treasure-mapping a specific physical body (after all, they are just models in the pictures and they spend incredible amounts of time in the gym.) 3) Physical changes: If you want to treasure-map an ideal body for yourself, concentrate on the active, healthy lifestyle that your body would need to have. I’ve even pasted my own face on the body of a woman doing aerobics. It was so believable to me that it melted the resistance I was feeling at the time. 4) Words: Include your own name, cut out of type, and a phrase or two also in type, that motivate you. Beware of too many words, however, as it is the visual image that your mind finds so powerful. 5) When the treasure map is finished, bless it. Some people like to add a picture that represents God as their source for everything. I write a little prayer on the back: “Thanks you, God, for this or something better for my highest good.” 6) Invite friends to bring their scissors, glue, and magazines for a treasure map party! Treasure-map with your spouse, and your children. Children age 10 and up can treasure-map their short term goals. You can make suggestions, such as cutting out pictures of Scout badges they would like to earn, or a place for a family vacation that summer, or a pet they would like to take care of, or a specific item for Christmas. (Caution: a kid with a toy catalog goes beserk!) Challenge a teenager to treasure map his or her in life in ten years. That gives them a grounded sense of thinking strategies toward preparation (what courses to take, etc.) ------------------

Parents are very dedicated (especially moms) to their high school senior children, but many aren't creative. They will pay well for a good scrapbooker.------------------

I do do ( I said do-do, lol) scrapbooks.
Alot of my kids friends moms have come by to look at mine for ideas, they say they love them.
You really think I could make money at that??
I'de never thought of it! Man it would be awesome to make money doing something I love so much.
I've made lots of them for gifts.And this past xmas, I made wine bottle night lights, and instead of the the wine bottle label, I decoupaged a photocopy pic of whatever.. you know for each person. I made my MIL one of her with her parents when she was a wee lil one, and I hung all kinds of antique keys and sewing machine bobbins from the neck of it, with cool antique ribbons that I found at a flea market.
When you plug in it, it glows up.
On the top, I put a mesh bag of lavender, so the lights heat the lavender, and it smells wonderful.  IP: Logged |

What do you think would be a fair price to pay for a well-constructed scapbook?------------------

I don't know?Depends on how many pages long it is. To buy a nice scrap book, just the book itself is at least 20 dollars, the nicer ones are anywhere from 30 to 50. So, you'd have to add that, plus all the papers and trinkets that go in it.
(well, actually, you'd have to do the math, because chances are you are not going to use ALL the extras in just ONE book, so you'd have to figure that in).. Then, of course you would have to add in your time.
There is a crafter/artist rule of math for this, which I cannot recall right now.

Typically, they provide you with everything; you charge for your time and the creative element.------------------

People have pictures and trinkets, but they have no idea how to arrange everything so it looks impressive. ------------------

Oh, I just discovered the treasure map lady from the Oprah show.I watched some of her videos on youtube.
She actually had a pic of Oprah on her vision board, and then within a month she was on the show. She's on FB under jewel chic. I cannot remember her name! Megan something... Let me go see if I can still find the youtube video............ IP: Logged |

Picked up a book and opened it up randomly to Treasure Mapping!  ------------------

I need to read that book. It's kind of small.------------------
