Mugshot Monday: April in Review

Posted on April 29, 2014 by Juliet Tiu

I felt like Spring was finally in the air…

… until it snowed like this on April 14. I was so stunned that I forgot my mug in the shot.

Tax Day came and went. Then I got down (literally, on the floor) to work on some projects, like One Little Word.

Here’s the finished Vision Board.

And, I found an old artist trading card series I made in 2008 for an “Encouragement” swap… It finally has a home in my One Little Word binder.

30 Days of Creativity – Day 19: Inspiration Board

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Juliet Tiu

Day 19: Do you keep a creative journal or have an inspiration board? Share!

Vision boards, inspiration boards or journals – I dig them. I had a journal after college until I was married. Shortly afterwards, the journaling stopped… until Spring 2010. (And it’s time to make a new one.)

Here are highlights from my old-school-cut-and-paste poster that came to life last year.

Started writing a semi-regular food column for an online newspaper (switch careers?).
Became an editor at Craft Critique (there’s a little cut-out word “editor”).
Rode 25 miles in my first organized cycling/bike ride (see the woman on the bike?).

Here’s a neat post explaining how to make a virtual inspiration board with Picasa. And I enjoyed this article explaining the “why” behind vision boards. I wonder how many people actually do these? Are there people who share them with the world, or is it too personal?
