    We are planning our themes for the upcoming months and would like your input!

    As you know, we springboard off three words - a noun, a verb and an adjective. If you have any words or themes to suggest we will gladly consider your input! ;) Thanks!!

    ** You do NOT need to be an M3 subscriber to suggest themes**

    hmmm, now I am thinking - I can't remember all the words/themes you have already used, so I will go look at those and see if I have any new ideas! This should be fun!!

    I don't have the good words but I would love to see something about the difference (autism and other troubles...) and the fact to accept someone who is different.

    I do not know the past ones as I only just signed up this month and I think I have a couple from last year. So I apologise if I suggest something you have already had in the past.

    home; living; comfortable

    children; playing; happy

    weather; thundering; misty

    loss; grieving; relentless

    One word that came to me: crossroads. Haven't come up with a verb or adjective yet...

    Not sure if I've got my noun/verb/adj correct and not sure if these topics have been covered before but I thought of:
    HEROES/STRIVE/BRAVE
    ANCESTORS/REMEMBER/HONOR
    MISTAKES/FORGIVEN/ACCEPTANCE

    Seasons / grow / beautiful
    My idea is for the seasons of life and how we continue to grow through each and the fact that each can be beautiful in its own right although vastly different.
    And could we please have an art doll with grey hair, a few extra pounds and not a fashion plate? It seems all the art dolls are young (no wrinkles) and slim!

    solitude | reflect | deepening

    sky | fly | free

    a triad I've seen elsewhere: reach, grasp, release

    maybe a progression: child, girl, woman, crone

    someone mentioned pets above, maybe broader, something about our relationships with other animals, in our homes and in the world?

    I don't have any suggestions, but the ones suggested sound wonderful! I am very pleased with previous offerings and some day when I have lots of extra money (ha ha), I will buy all the older ones before my subscription.

    YES!!! Poe all day, everyday!!!

    I'm waiting to subscribe when the new kit for February comes out; but I would love to see an art doll template maker! I would love to find something that my middle little who is 9 could connect with and that we could do together!

    So maybe a template with different heads, hair, eyes, noses, lips, "body" shapes, arms, legs...oh and maybe house templates??

    All of these ideas are so inspirational and creative, and all I can come up with is one lol.

    Beach/Vacationing/Relaxation - or a more creative derivative of that. Just a kit that could encompass any type of vacations/staycation that someone takes (my go-to word for that is beach automatically)
