Hello, just a quick introduction. I am new to Treasure Mapping (but not to Mothering) and have been reading the thread and learning a lot. I will chime in on the new thread as well. Thank you for all the great information and pointers so far.

Thanks for sharing your pictures of your maps!

Ok, I followed the threads last year but didn't have time to do a treasure map. I'm determined to do one this year, even though the timing couldn't be worse. I'm producing an Earth Day event on the 24th and am swamped, and have a meeting tonight.

Anyway, my question is, I believe I read somewhere that an orange background has some special energy to it. Can someone refresh my memory on that one?

Is it out of line to put "I'd like my husband to be happy" or something to that effect on my TM since it does affect me?
I have a curmudgeon of a husband, and he has been that way since we've been teenagers. So I understand you pov. He has improved greatly over the years.
I sometimes tell him "I love you, but you are bringing me down. That is not what I need right now." I sometimes ask him if he needs a break.
Personally I would keep it about you and write something about improving boundaries, changing your ability to explain how it is impacting you and your kids, etc.
good luck. Being a partner with a pessimist can be draining.

My son and I just picked out some magazines - will purchase rest of supplies tomorrow. Something I've found along the way is not to have a preconceived thought of what you want on the map - I know that others have said that on the thread, too. Would never have "picked" one of the magazines I bought but let myself be drawn to it. The unexpected is where the magic has been on my maps.

I've used images of a full piggy bank with dollars just bursting out of it. Dh took a bank statement and altered it so it seemed we had more money in the account. Stuff like that. Also an affirmation " I have an abundance of money."

I got my supplies last night. But my house, although organized is actually dirty and feeling gross to me. So I'm cleaning and straightening up right now. I'm going smudge afterwards, let the fresh air circulate and get started while the boys are napping. Last year I was able to get started on the hour, but this year, it wont work. Both my boys are actually feeling yucky and I'm not doing it while they are awake. But that is okay. I will do it in bits and pieces as that's the only way I have to do it. Most will get done this evening. I'm just so excited. TM day feels like a holiday to me. That is how excited I am! LOL

HAVE FUN EVERYONE!!

Our finances have been, uh, challenged the past few years, so this is an area I want to address as well, I'm thinking of several affirmations--not sure I want all my eggs in one basket, but also there are different aspects to finances. "I love seeing our savings grow every month" or something along those lines may be one of them.
