Full Moon Dreamboards - "HOW WOULD I LIKE TO SHINE?" - September 4, 2009

My dreamboard this month is very simple. ONE image...one image only. NO words...cause the words just pop into my mind.

I have always been naturally drawn to images/creations/artwork of the sun and moon. I have often wondered why that is. When Jamie asked us how we would like to shine for this month's full moon dreamboard it got me to thinking.

This month's moon is about saying goodbye to the summer season...and hello to the harvest....and fall. It is the full corn moon and sometimes also known as the harvest moon.

I think an image of the sun came up for me again....ironic as it is since I am doing a MOON dreamboard....because of the question Jamie posed to us.

I WANT TO SHINE LIKE THE SUN!!! I want all the hidden parts of me that I have buried under covers for so long to BURST out like rays of the sun and shine for all to see. I want to reflect my light out into the world like sunbeams......filled with warmth and love and nurturing....energy.....I want the real me to finally be allowed to COME OUT AND BE SEEN.

Faces and images of the sun to Native Americans means:

# Sun - Earth Guardian in Day, Healing Energy
# Sun Face - Giver of life, warmth, growth, goodness.
# Sun Rays - Constancy.

I find this so appropriate of how I feel when I look at the sun....or feel its warmth.....or am drawn to another sun creation. It heals me.....gives me warmth and energy......gives life.....it is constant. Filled with goodness and growth!

SO I want to SHINE LIKE THE SUN!!!!

I love suns and moons ........

and have them throughout my house. I am always drawn to them and if I see them presented in a unique decorative way for my home or outside...I usually end up buying it or making it.

I found this wonderful metal SUN (flower) that was on a very long pole you stick in the ground and these back leaves will spin around in the wind. IT IS so cool.....perfect sun face....he is winking at you. This was so large I could not take a picture of it standing up as the store did not have it standing only lying down. He was also too pricey for me.....almost 90.00! SO ...I took his picture so I would remember him and then thought he might be pretty top heavy in your yard and not hold up outside too well? NOT sure....if he gets marked down in price I would be tempted to get him!

I also found some wonderful MOON faces for Halloween made up as little Moon Men and one I wanted was sold out but I found this one which was very similar but he also came with an entire body and not just his head so I got him. Isn't this moon face adorable?





AND I found a wonderful metal antique type SANTA magical watch...and had to get it. It was marked way down since it is not holiday time yet. I adore it..and will find a wonderfully magical place to hang it come Christmastime!



This watch is HUGE...not like a pocket watch...but the size of a saucer! At least 6 inches or so in diameter!

I have kept busy working in my Wreck This Journal this week...and have a few new ideas I want to try in it this coming week so I am looking forward to that. Otherwise I need to get off here and get some things done!
