Wishcasting Wednesday

It's Wednesday again, my new favorite day of the week.  I am once again joining in with Wishcasting Wednesday at jamieridlerstudios.ca

This week Jamie asks "What do you wish to step into?"


I wish to step into my dreams.  What are those you ask?  I'm not totally sure, but as I often write about, I wish to have more time for creativity in my life.  I think my dream is to have creativity and crafting be a part of my career.  I think I would love to have a studio with maybe a small cafe where I can have open studio time, classes, a place for people to get together with friends and benefit from being creative.  I still have to think about what this really entails and how to best go about making it come to fruition, but it is something I often think about.

When I was in grad school, my final paper was to be about stepping out of the box with regards to traditional social work therapy.  I wrote about scrapbooking with clients, specifically older adults and those at the end of their lives.  I actually found a researcher at the University of Alabama (I think) who was researching the therapeutic benefits of scrapbooking.  I would love to learn more about art therapy and maybe get certified to be an art therapist.  That way, I can use my social work degree and also my love of creativity.

I want to step into my dream of having creativity be a part of my career and have a studio where I can teach people the benefits of being creative!

I am also going to post this at my new blog http://amy-fratto-designs.blogspot.com   My new blog was started to post about my creations so I thought that it would be good to copy any post that pertain to creativity there.
