It's all in the details...

Loving the Design Process

I am finding little ways to make this blog more visually appealing - I want to be able to share my favorite websites, and keep a running photo slide show of all the things that catch my eye, whether it is food, fashion -a cute shoe or accessory, some amazing piece of furniture, interior design inspiration, art just images that inspire me and put a smile on my face.

Origami Owl saved my creative soul...

So- I've been in a creative slump... and just coasting along. I was feeling a little guilty for not following up and keeping up with this blog. So one day my daughter brings a catalog home - and at first I though it was another school fund raiser... When I looked more carefully I realized it was a catalog for lockets - but not just any lockets. These are unique lockets that allow you to personalize them with unique charms that you can add inside... I was intrigued... I mentioned it to my co-workers casually and they said it sounded interesting that I should host a party. So I called the rep on the back of the brochure - who happens to be my daughters bff''s mom...I asked her if I could see them in person. And I went to her house to check them out! The rest is history... as they say. I loved them ever more in person. I booked the party and decided to sign up as an independent designer.. everything about this young company appeals to me. It really embodies my life motto "its all in the details" I love the concept and the idea you can really help someone make something very meaningful and personalized. So I've had to plan a party, create a Facebook page-Itsallinthedetailsorigamiowl, set up my own webpage- https://itsallinthedetails.origamiowl.com and play around with other types of media like Pinterest and play around with images in picmonkey, so yeah definitely this adventure is helping me get the creative juices flowing... I just started, so I'll see where it takes me, but for now I feel very inspired. I love the way they set up "Jewelry Bars" and display the lockets and charms. I am excited to see where this goes.

No quenching of the soul here...

Its all in the details... open your eyes, stop and smell the flowers. So much beauty in this world...surround yourself with beautiful things that inspire you... that's what my soul keeps screaming from way inside of me...This is the main reason I started this blog... just to document things that inspire me...beautiful little details that add to my life, my surroundings... not about material possessions...or spending money just finding inspiration and beauty. Taking the time to create every day, giving my imagination free rein.

Long overdue

It has been a long while... I was going into a transition period a year or so ago... in which I had to stop trying to do so many things at once, and frustrating myself when I could not keep up with any of them to my satisfaction... Part of my New Year's resolutions is to dive into this blogging thing a little bit more in the upcoming year... I need to find a creative outlet... I can't suppress all my creative inspiration, desires and ideas... little by little I will be easing back into it.... I am hopefull for the New Year - I have gone through so many changes, I have grown, and I am still growing... learing and moving forward...
