sister i season's calendar

the 2004 spring theme:
words, letters and thoughts — gifts for the creative spirit

The spring seasons guide™ takes us on a creative journey into the world of words, letters and thoughts. We'll make spring bookmarks, share writings that have inspired our creative journeys, immerse ourselves in letters and journals of creative thinkers and lounge at a bookstore with inspirational material.

Your spring jewel boxes™:

opening spring — get ready
workshop — spring bookmarks
creative inventory — our reading shelves
revisiting exercise — sharing our creative pursuits
reflective conversation — journals and letters
closing spring — lounging in books
