L-R Life Hacks, Pattern Hacks, Business Hacks, Photoshop and Illustrator Hacks in front.

Back when I was subscribed to Alsyon Stanfields tribe she had us write down daily affirmations onto cards or tags, which I dutifully did and placed said tags onto a ribbon.

Then on day I noticed that Jamie Fingal had her pattern tags she was creating and she had organized them onto a metal ring. Bingo, I have a ton of those, and I had a ton of these tags laying around that I was leaving notes on for Photoshop, Illustrator, and the like.

So I reorganized them, and I'm in love with this method of note organization. Yes I still keep a daily journal and sketchbook, but it's super convenient to have all of my patterns on a ring on my table, or my life hacks on a ring and not have to dig through a journal from way back when to see what inspired me that day. Yes I still put my life hacks/inspirations/affirmations into my sketchbooks and journals, doing so allows me to see where I've been and how far I've come!

Pattern

Pattern and Inspiration often come from the unlikeliest of places in this case it's old vines attached to the wooden siding on my house.

I've been using this vine inspiration in my work for about thirteen years now, lines and french knots is what it has inspired.

Inspiration - Rearranged

My Valentines Day gift this year from hubs is for him to make me a couple of trays, like the one in the image above, for displaying my nature items. Until then... enjoy.
