As many of you know, I’m taking Holly Becker’s Blogging Your Way e-class to help find direction and voice for this blog. It’s been an eye opening experience. There is so much I want to do and this class is helping me define my focus and find my voice. I won’t go into the gory details, but I do want to share this week’s homework with you.
The assignment was to create a mood board that hones in on my interests and taste. No digital manipulation was allowed. Technically, I may be cheating by including a human being, but as I’ve said before, separating family from work is impossible.
To give you a taste of who I am and what I love within the sphere of my work world, I’ll list the details in the photo. Roughly clockwise from the upper left corner here goes:
- Kid art. My children’s artwork brings me great joy.
- My “To Do List” notebook. A daily to do list keeps me on track and calms my brain.
- Pantone swatchbook. Tattered and loved. I use this all day, everyday.
- Succulents and garden flowers make me happy.
- Font book. I love a good font.
- My journal where I write ideas, take notes, sketch and use for general brain babble.
- Kate. She’s always underfoot, which I love (on most days).
- Jack. My first born and my logo.
- Patterns. My newest fascination.
- The Wedding Invitation Handbook. A beloved reference book.
- My 85 mm Nikon lens. It rocks.
- My own work. Some note cards I created today.
- Scotch ATG 714. A must have for any stationer.
So that’s me in a nutshell (as of Friday, February 5th at 2:30 p.m.). If I did it again tomorrow, who knows!
Ooh! I love this! What a great exercise, and you’ve done it so well!
This is wonderful! I love that you included a human being
what a unique idea, and she is so cute! All of the personal details, like your personal notebook which shows your handwriting, and your kid’s art, really get across a lot about the person that you are!
So nice… are you enjoying the class?
Thanks everyone! Libby, I am very much enjoying the class. Holly truly pushes you to know thyself. We are three weeks in and I feel like a whole new world has been opened for me. Little did I know it was my world all along. That sounded really cliche, but it’s true.
I love your mood rug! How cute to add your girl in there!
I love all your patterns, colors and fonts too.
Great job at sharing your loves! ~Theresa
adorable!
Angie–I know exactly what you mean about Holly pushing you to know yourself and how the mood board can change almost daily. My mood board has surprised a few people, including myself! It was a very interesting assignment. Having Kate in the picture was genius.

Angie, I love your board and the little one you included too. How cute is that?!
I just love how free you are Angie and yet at the same time your composition is awesome. I still cannot get over your little one in the corner -perfection. I am with you, my mood boards are exactly that -what I am in the mood for that day when I decide to put one together!!! All your other design elements in this piece are really inspiring to look at too. Bravo!
Ohh, I love it!
I’m so hoping I can get into Holly’s next class!
