as everyone in the office, friends and especially my husband can attest to ~ i am sick about tear sheets. i subscribe to at least thirty publications, keep in mind that does not even include the many, many print magazines i purchase at newsstands and add in the daily blog and website perusing, and my life is overcome with advertisements, skinny girls in pretty clothes, mouth watering food, and give or a take, a few how to articles.
is this a method of procrastination? or is it my way to be inspired?
as i believe everything happens for a reason and at the right time, wouldn’t you know it, but this morning i received an email from an editor at traditional home with an attached pdf, titled ‘inspire me’
inspire me!
these two words give me my answer. yes, tear sheets, print magazines, photos, food, travel and even how to articles inspire me!
at all times i carry my ‘tear sheets‘ folder with me.
lots and lots of inspiration in this one little yellow folder
i pamper myself and get a mani/pedi with only my magazines and folder to accompany me. i read, i think, i smile, i tear… over and over again…
crinkled inspiration
the endless ideas of where to go, how to redecorate, what to buy…
more and more inspiration
and sometimes… as i revisit my little yellow folder i think, ‘why on earth did i tear this out?’
unending inspiration
i am making a bet with myself to chronicle how certain tear sheets inspire me. every few weeks you will begin to see little posts about articles, photos, or blogs that have inspired me
