Welcome to a new blog!...one meant to inspire others to realize their dreams...Why Doughnut Dreams? Well, I love quotes. And the quote that started this all uses the doughnut image to drive a point home:
"No matter what your dream in life, no matter what your goal, keep your eye upon the doughnut and not upon the hole."I feel we all need reminders to keep our dreams alive. Quotes are my little cheerleaders, keeping me focused and determined. Here's another quote I have posted for motivation:
"The world is wide, and I will not waste my life in friction when it could be turned into momentum." ~Frances Willard
Friday, June 5, 2009 is National Doughnut Day so I decided to launch this separate blog today, May 5th (also Cinco de Mayo!) A concise summary of my project--> I want you to create a visual representation of your dreams, on a round template (to symbolize the doughnut shape) to remind you to stay "positive" and motivate you to live your dreams!
I first posted about my Doughnut Dreams Project on my original blog home, Steps and Staircases. The post is titled: Hope in a Doughnut.
If you are inspired to participate, please do! And if you feel moved to pass this project on to others, go right ahead! Below are the details of my Doughnuts Dream Project.
“No matter what your dream in life, no matter what your goal,keep your eye upon the doughnut and not upon the hole.”
An invitation to make a dream doughnut of your very own! I am asking people to make a “doughnut” that visualizes, or reflects, their dreams and goals. The canvas is a round piece of poster board, symbolizing a doughnut. The size of the doughnut template is approximately the size of a large dinner plate. Use whatever materials you like!
You can paint, draw, collage different materials, attach photographs, write on your doughnut…whatever the quote inspires you to do.
Thank you for your consideration in participating in the Doughnut Dreams Project!
Please return your doughnut to:

On the back of your dream doughnut, please remember to include your name, age, country, and e-mail address with your submission to ensure your dream doughnut is credited properly to you!If you have questions, please e-mail Lisa at doughnutdreams@yahoo.com
By the way, I'm still in the process of figuring out what I will do with all the doughnuts I receive. I will post doughnuts on my blog for others to see. By participating in this project, you are agreeing to share your dreams with the world. Which is what dreams are for, right?
I love it that you started a separate blog for the Doughnut Dreams... I'm just checking in quickly tonight, but I'll be back next week! My doughnut idea is kind of evolving now that I took a block-printing class - I want to incorporate that in, somehow, since I'm so excited by the process.
