Wands represent primal energy, spirituality, inspiration, determination, strength, intuition, creativity, ambition and expansion, original thought and the seeds through which life springs forth. Wands are also indicative of all things that you do during the day to keep you busy, be it working at the office, home or the great outdoors. Wands have to do with movement, action and initiatives and the launching of new ideas.

Cups

Cups represent love, feelings, relationships and connections. Cups are about displays of emotion, expression of feelings and the role of emotions in relation to others. Cups are also linked to creativity, romanticism, fantasy and imagination

Nice work Ashley Marie! I think I am going to give The Princess Bride a go this year too. After all that talk about the movie recently, I realised I have never actually read the book!

Welcome to the challenge Anna :)

It's one of my hubby's favorites (he even chose to have "As You Wish" inscribed inside his wedding ring), but I've never read it. I figure I should probably rectify that to stave off divorce ;)

oh that's so cute - love it! :)

Excellent! Thanks!

Not sure when I'll get to The Princess Bride. Maybe if someone wants to do it later in the year, I'll be able to join. Right now I'm a bit too swamped to add that one.

Same here! I was thinking maybe October. We can revisit the idea later this year:)

Sounds good!
