Discover Purpose, Passion, Presence, Prosperity with Author and Teacher Dr. Tina Ferguson

LOVING this so much!! I have truly enjoyed so many art-full, blissed-out blogs in the last couple of years. I’m thrilled to be part of such a spirited group of artists. Thanks for including me!

I’m blessed to have a huge office and lots of creative space. This is what you see when you walk into my office. That desk was one of my manifestations that came from my friend Debbie (who had no idea I had it on my vision board!)

Here’s the more creative side of my office. I love to write handwritten, decorated notes to friends and clients and at my table on the right. I sometimes sit there to work on my laptop if I’m looking for new inspiration.

I sit here to have a different viewpoint, to think about things, to read magazines (fave – Where Women Create) and wonderful books like Violette’s Journal Bliss (current FAVE). I love this chair because my husband can sit in it and I can sit completely (and comfortably) on one of the arms, and read or talk with him.

This is where I do most of my blogging, writing and creating. I have my little laptop here on my desk, but often I blog upstairs in the den so I can be with my family and also jot down an inspired thought or two.

 

I love words and quotes… I surround myself with things that make me smile. I love Compendium (the little quote window cards) and photos of people (two and four-legged) that are special to me. I have tons of angels in my office and whimsical inspirations like Tinkerbell and Elle Woods Barbie.

Most of the time Rico is actually in my office with me (the big boy on the left), but my dog who passed many years ago remains with me in my heart – he’s everywhere in my office. His name is Gar.

Many of these were gifts…I’m so grateful to feel so much love.

When I look out from my desk when I’m thinking or something, I have many things to inspire me. I know it’s almost time for 4th of July, but I can’t put the bunny up yet! This is my altar corner…where I put things that remind me we are all connected and loved.

I love color and don’t seem to notice purple next to red, white and blue or even green. LOL I hung a little hanging sign that says “Believe” on the back of this credenza – I nailed it on there, so it isn’t going anywhere.

Mark (my husband), painted this office this yummy berry-licious pink (my signature color) for me two and a half years ago. I STILL am in LOVE with it! I feel so happy in here. Before, it was moss green (yes, really). I love sparkly things and roses (my backyard is FULL of them in all colors). This print was a gift from my friend Debbie…she knows how much I love roses.

One of my favorite pieces of art…it reminds me to spend time in the garden, which I love to do.

Words given to Debbie and then returned to me with love notes on them. I stare at these every day. They make me smile.

This bunny is too cute not to share.

 

I love creativity of all kinds. I started playing guitar again recently after 34 years! I bought this butterfly at Ross – had to have it for some reason. I love what it looks like here.

Send some beautiful words to someone today… aren’t these delicious?!

This is at my desk…I have crown stickers on the inside of my lampshade. These little items are gifts from friends. I usually have a candle burning in my office – that’s the mosaic holder to the right. And, of COURSE, I have a million different colored markers, pens, pencils and crafty items.

I took a workshop with Sally Jean when she was here in Dallas a little over a month ago (wow, how time flies!). I loved this little pendant with the Winning Lottery Ticket Fairyette on it. I got this fortune the next day. How fun!

 

I try to be organized. Mark put this hanger on the other side of my armoire so I could hang all of my ‘bags’ – computer, recycling, purses, etc. Two snuck over to the other chair…oh well.

What I see when I look to the left of my computer when I’m writing – Chance and Rico, Steph (my friend from Nevada) and me, Tracy Porter cup with yummy tree bark colored pencils from Miss Debbie, True Friends bookmark from Miss Debbie, and Mr. Gar. I miss him so much.

Love notes from friends and clients…angels…Legally Blonde Barbie (I really do LOVE Barbie)…Chance at 4…so sweet.

My prayer box, queenie things…another picture of Mr. Gar and gifts from loved ones.

I keep this notebook with all of my ‘to dos’ right on my desk with little pencils and stickers. I have tons of colored notecards – I like to write intentions every day. Some days I do it; some days I don’t. I use notecards for everything – to do lists, wish lists, ideas for books, ideas for creations, people to call back… I have tons of them in many different colors. I LOVE paper!

For some reason, I don’t like to look at the calendar on my computer. I always have a calendar to my right so I can glance over at it. Kelly Rae Robert’s artwork has found its way to me…people tell me it makes them think of me. I have been given many of her creations! I am a huge fan of Dan DiPaolo and Blanche Lively…my mom gives me an Extraordinary Women calendar every year. Who couldn’t love a couple who love each other in such an extraordinary way as Dan and Blanche? If you haven’t read their little story in the back of their calendars – do so!

My creative space, including Vision Board! See the flying pig hat? A gift from The Fabulous Tax Babe. My mom made the sign above my whiteboard…I love to move around and create from different viewpoints. Is everyone like that?

Always writing…I have tons of journals. Write, write, write!

Mark made this for me one Christmas…I love to look up all the time for some reason. I never noticed that until I started thinking about these photos today!

This is an antique mailbox I used to use as a prayer box. I wish you could see it better on here. I love these black and cream signs.

Easter has stuck around for me this year. This pig’s wings actually flap when you have this hat on your head. It’s a great way not to take yourself too seriously!

Crowns and mom’s art… perfect to stare at when I’m wondering! My scribbles for thoughts…

What I see when I look to the left from my desk. I love my space. I bought the old farm table on the left at an antique sale many years ago when I first was divorced from my ex-husband. It was one of the first things I bought for myself that was expensive. I felt so good splurging on something I loved.

I have tons of quote books, old books and other journals of inspiration. I am ADDICTED to paper!!! Please don’t tell me that regular books and magazines will ever go out of print. I LOVE lovely printed items.

One of my favorite people to see in my office each day… Chance, our son. This is last year before his hair got to be almost as long as mine!

Another guy who spends lots of time in my creative space. He’s good company and doesn’t bark very often. He does snore when he goes into a deep sleep. LOL

My hubby made this all possible. Thanks honey! I’m very lucky to be so loved. All of my ‘supplies’ are tucked neatly in my desk and in my outside workshop… I’ll post those pics in a minute!
