Designing behind closed doors… an idea!

It’s amazing how creative and inspired one can be when there are no distractions. I recently heard someone say; “Don’t let distractions rob you of your creativity.” Distractions? Oh, wait, would that be Twitter, the iPhone, Skype, t.v. and the chirping sound of incoming emails?!  Of course it is… in my world anyway.

I woke up yesterday morning at 2:30 am and could not get the excitement of inspiration and creativity out of my mind. It was racing like a Thoroughbred right out of the gate! So, I jumped out of bed, started the coffee and worked on some new art designs for my greeting cards. It was quiet and peaceful.

Designing in the wee hours isn’t for everyone, but closing the door, turning everything off except for your creative thoughts and whatever you need to accomplish your work or hobby project IS one way to create without distraction. Enjoy your time of serenity!
