MY OFFICE BULLETIN BOARD
When I am in my office—my creative hub!—I like to surround myself with favorite vignettes and sentimental objects that spark my creativity.
Like this bulletin board above (and in the blog header). On it are a collection of family photos, business cards, a notice of a gallery opening (for my son’s Ireland photos), and even a snapshot of a couple of soap opera stars. Yes, my second son, who worked for Dick Clark Productions at the time, snapped it in Hawaii (with the cooperation of the stars, of course!), and it has pride of place along with other favorites. At the top of the bulletin board is a sign (LORRE), which was a birthday card created by my younger brother in the 1980s, when I was called “Lorre.” He has a sign-painting business, so the birthday sign seemed unique and appropriate.
My office walls are covered with photos, too. Like these that surround my desk.
CREATIVE HUB
All four walls are literally layered with photos. A bit much? Maybe, but I feel snug and cozy in this room.
Sometimes my creative sparks fly and take me off to create another blog. Yes, I’ve gone up and down with the numbers, having as many as twenty at one time.
I’ve held firm at eleven for awhile. But yesterday, I had to create another writing blog: a journal, if you will, about getting enmeshed in the minutia of life and losing sight of the big picture. Like not seeing the forest for the trees…so it’s called My Forest Journey.
I also had to use this great blog header I created over at Picnik.com, which is closing down in April. Last chance to use premium features free!
I have a couple of alternates, too. Just in case.
Wouldn’t want to miss the chance to have a whole potpourri of available photos.
Meanwhile, I’m enjoying my reading this week, too. I’ve finished a couple of great books and will be posting links to the reviews on Sunday.
Today I’m finishing this book about Diana, published in 2004.
Great photos and personal snippets that I hadn’t known….
So what are you up to today? Enjoying your creative moments?
shame about pic nic didn’t know it was going – must hurry and get some work done there – I used to have pictures all around me haven’t got around to it in new abode(10yrs !) – they are stacked ready some lump of life always seems to stop me:( must do better – like your new blog -how many do you have thought i was bad with 4 but you beat that methinks!

Thanks for stopping by, Alberta…Yes, I have a lot of blogs; twelve, now. It goes up and down.
Hope you get some creative work done before Picnik closes.
Thanks, Vikram….
