Coolest Place to Work Ever!

by: glam girl Collette

I would like to share with you a little bit about my work day today, if you don't mind... the company I work for is incredibly creative, being that it is a company the makes craft supplies and all! Well, today we had our monthly update meeting with our entire sales/marketing/art division. While we normally talk about business, etc. today our CCO (Cheif Creative Officer - how cool is that! How many companies have an executive management title like that? Love it!) said the theme for today's meeting was "INSPIRATION." The meeting room was set up with tables, chairs, our Tulip markers and art paper.

"...hmm," I wondered, "what is she going to have us do?" The room was buzzing with thoughts and speculations as to what our 'monthly business meeting' was to entail.

She did not keep us waiting for long! She challenged us to come up with inspirational quotes or sayings that help lift our spirits. We were instructed that these were not to be work related, but rather should be personally inspiring. The whole team had to come up with their own and then illustrate it on paper - I then figured out what the markers and paper were for! After we completed them, we all stood up one-by-one and read ours aloud to the group. Let me tell you, there were some great ones (see images below). After the meeting concluded, we were instructed to hang them up all around our building so we can constantly stay inspired!

I have work at a few great companies in my time, but nothing like this one! Don't get me wrong, there is a LOT of hard work, but the energy is so amazing that I just had to share with you all! I hope you are all inspired and/or entertained. Have a great evening!

Spring has sprung!

by: glam girl Collette

I don't know about you, but when the weather starts changing and flowers start blooming, I cannot help but get he itch to start creating!Surprisingly, even though the lack of posts, I have been thoroughly busy with multiple projects! As they are all at a mid-point, I am waiting to share with you when they are finished. In the meantime, I thought I would share some of the beautiful pictures of what has been providing me with the "spring creativity push" here in Central California. Enjoy!
