Pinteresting. Very, Very Pinteresting.

Day one and I can see there's no chance of stopping any time soon.

I love to look at pretty things, really anything at all. I love to draw inspiration from all the pretty things that flutter around on the web, and with all that data you can imagine the size of the folders on my desktop. Im constantly pulling things off the web and putting them in folders, putting those folders in folders and making every attempt to try to organize these pretty little inspirations. As you know if you read my previous post organization and I don't always get a long. And whether it be organizing physical things or organizing data, it can be a challenge at times.

A few months back an unnamed photography pro facebook friend of mine posted about her love of pinterest and went on and on about it. I immediately went over to pinterest.com to check it out and went through the steps to signing up and waiting for the invitation to join. Well the luster wore off in the mean time and I forgot about the whole thing, until another friend of mine posted on her facebook : "Hello, my name is Mallory R. and I'm addicted to Pinterest." ....Wait! I remember that! So I went to my inbox, scrolled back a few months and found the online invite sitting in my inbox since February. [Disclaimer: I promise I usually don't take that long to respond back to emails, but when its signing up for things, promotions or ads I tend to filter onto the important stuff from actual people.]


Well today was the day, I signed up and have been on a mean streamline to uploaded the folders of inspiration, photos, diy things to do, and some just pretty things that make me smile that are in folders upon folders on my desktop :) I highly recommend pinterest to anyone who loves to look and be inspired, but wants to remember and catalog those things for future inspiration as well. I love the thought of being able to sign on any where and locate my inspiration boards, which has been a big problem for me since I access so may different computers in my day to day life. 


So if you are unknown to the pinterest world, go check it out (pinterest.com) and dont forget to check your email to actually join! And for those of you who already are pinning away I cant wait to check out all your visual goodies!

Heres a preview into my pinterest:

Today is the Day

I have been meaning to get to the blogging world for quite some time, I created a blog several years ago when I started up my jewelry venture (Dogwood design) but never got around to the actual blogging since the jewelry part was craving more of my attention. I don't promise to blog once a day, week, month or on any set schedule. I hope to use this tool to catalog ideas, share things that inspire me so they may inspire something in you and as a peak into "A Day in the Life" of me, SPC.

I am no grammar whiz or professional writer, I translate thoughts better in doodles, sketches and photos better then I could ever explain in words. My life can be a bit hectic at times, but its always focusing in on the simple things that make it more calm. I am unorganized and I sort my life out one step at a time.

I envy organized people, but its not my process (I've tried). I get so enthralled in things I throw myself head first into them til it has consumed everything around me. I eventually take a break to step back, take a breath, realign (reorganize) and then jump back in. My husband lovely terms my creative process as "art bombs."  He has a gift of looking past the rubble these art bombs leave behind. I cherish him for this and for his patience and understanding, it takes a special person to love (put up with) my ways.

I hope to be a muse and that you find some inspiration in my upcoming posts.
So..."Just tune in, turn off, drop out, drop in, switch off, switch on and explode...
A splendid time is guaranteed for all!"

Cheers - SPC
