inspiration board diy

Last week I finally got around to completing my inspiration board. 
I first sprayed the cork board with Elmer's spray adhesive, and then carefully lined up the fabric before pressing down. This step wasn't necessary, I only did it to keep the fabric from shifting while I stapled it onto the back of the board.
After a little trial and error, I found the best way to keep the upholstery tacks straight and evenly spaced was to line them up along my ruler like this:
Almost finished!
I'll post a picture of the finished project once I have my desk done!


new beginnings?

I've got a busy couple of weeks coming up, so I may not have time to post very often. One thing that I'm excited for this week is the Blog Buzz + Bizz seminar coming to Dallas this Thursday. I've decided to go to hopefully help me sort out these ideas that have been swimming around in my head lately. If you're in the Dallas area you should think about going!

Another exciting thing is that I'm signing up to take a few classes. I found this website posted on Facebook this morning and I'm super excited. They offer a lot of free courses from legit universities and professors. Did I mention it's FREE? I'll be taking a couple of these, along with a course or two at a local college close by. I'm ready for my new adventures, and I hope this will help me figure out which direction I'd like to go with my career.
