She Came To See The Tulips


She came to see the tulips
So pretty and bright
She sat in admiration 
Of such an incredible sight

...and the tulips whispered, 
'Wasn't she beautiful'

Creative Symbolism


Creative Symbolism workshop ran by the Belconnen Arts Centre

Number the following shapes in order from your most favourite to your least: 

2. Plus Sign    
4. Square        
5. Triangle     
3. Circle         
1. Spiral

These shapes are the five universal symbols. 
What do they mean to you? 
What words come to mind when you think of these shapes? 

1. Spiral - Flow and consistency
2. Plus Sign - Multiple ideas
3. Circle - Friendship and loyalty, as well as the sun (warmth and direction)
4. Square - Being put in a box
5. Triangle - Structure

Here is the key to your universal symbol survey: 

Whichever symbol you listed first, your favourite, symbolizes WHAT YOUR GOAL IS RIGHT NOW. 
Your second favourite symbolizes your HIDDEN STRENGTH.  
Your third favourite symbolizes WHAT YOU WANT YOUR GOAL TO BE.
Your fourth favourite symbolizes WHAT YOU ARE CONSCIOUSLY IGNORING. 
Your fifth favourite symbolizes WHAT YOU ARE CONSCIOUSLY IGNORING. 

There is a reason we are more attracted to certain shapes that others. It is part of our personality! 

The Choice

Two men are sitting next to each other on a train.

One man says to the other, Where are you going?'

I don’t know,’ the man responds. ‘I was put here.’

‘What do you mean you were put here?’ the other man asks.

I was put here on this earth, three days ago. Weren’t you put here too?’

‘No, I was born here. How did you get here?’

I don’t know.’

‘Where were you before then?’

I don’t remember.’

Both men are equally as confused as each other. The man who was born here thinks everyone was born here, and the man who was put here thinks everyone was put here.

The man who was put here is then given a choice – to stay in this world as it is, or to go back where he came from... wherever that may be.

What choice would you make?


Now to pitch my idea to movie directors... *gets on phone, dials... ‘Hello, Spielberg?’

Roses Are Red, Blueberries Are Blue


Such a fun morning learning how to decorate cupcakes with Flour & Frost! 
It was tricky at first, but now piping is my friend! 

Roes are red
Blueberries are blue
Add some pink hydrangeas
Now they're ready for you!
