Every year, my kids and I create a vision board to capture goal highlights for the year using posters, magazine clippings, crayons, glitter, glue sticks -- you name it, it's on the floor on 12/31. We have the music going, candles lit, and complete focus on what we're doing. Here is our process laid out in 5 steps for you. I hope you then enjoy the short video version of my board that was designed using Animoto.com. Head over to Life Vision Boards and get another take on the "how to". They use Animoto as well and you certainly can too - it's a free tool for creating video using images and music. Use theirs or add your own.
5 Steps To Creating Your Vision Board
- Get yourself to a quiet place
- Imagine that it is now the end of 2011 and you are reflecting back on your accomplishments for the year
- Write down a list -- brainstorm freely at first
- Now highlight the top 3-5 things you really want to focus on for the year
- Cut, draw, and paste images that represent your goals onto a poster board (you can even make a miniature version on an index card to carry with you)
That's it! Now set a date to get the board finished. ;)

Thanks Tanya,
I have heard so much about Vision Boards and will do my first for 2011. I'm excited!!
Great idea. I've started preparing mine for 2011.
Thank you, Dianne. The revisiting idea is great and it is a good gauge to get set for next year, isn't it? ;) Feel free to share your board with me! I love taking photos of ours at home each year - my 9 year old is teaching the 3 year old now. LOL
Excellent post. I am all set to start working on my 2011 Vision Board next week. First I am revisiting my 2010 board to see what I accomplished, what I didn't, and if not - why not. That always helps me to plan the next year.
