Trying to land that dream job...

After a long weekend of dreaming up ideas on how to "land" my dream job, now it is time to actually focus! I am an interior designer, but I have many years of creative experience in other fields. I applied for a position with Tiffany & Co. last Thursday and I really want to do more to make myself stand out from the other hundreds of applicants there must be for this job.

This is a creative position and I truly feel like this job was made for me! I need to work on putting together a creative package to send to Human Resources directly. That is my goal for the week..My deadline is Thursday...exactly one week from the day I applied for this position.

So, my dear blogging friends...I need to "focus" on this project and I probably will not be able to post until Friday..I hope you understand. This really means a lot to me and I just have to try!

Wish me luck!!

I love....

My very wonderful friend just sent me an email titled, "I love..". She sent me a list of all the things she loves and at the end she wrote, "your turn..". So, I thought it would be a really cool idea to tell you what I love and maybe you could do the same. Although this is not design related, I think this is a great way to start off your Monday with inspiration.

Here is the list I sent her. I love...

My children, my husband, my house, interior design, architecture, Italy, magazines, the ocean, eyelash curlers, very shiny things, the color yellow, dancing, salsa music, flowers, creating anything, hearing my kids call me mommy, vintage dresses, classic musicals (anything with Gene Kelly, Sophia Lauren, Audrey Hepburn), the smell of fresh cut grass, the smell of a baby, vintage furniture, vintage jewelry (anything vintage), friendship, talking, laughing, photography, art, ice cream, espresso, sex ;), very high heels, strapless anything, big jewelry, handbags, make-up, The French language, a clean house, spontaneity, espresso martinis, port wine, silence, dreaming.., the thought of traveling through Europe, boats, the smell of the ocean, success...walking barefoot, a beautifully set table, marshmallows.

Your turn...

Following the yellow brick road to my dream...

I am very excited about a decision that I made today and I would like to share it. I have decided that I'm ready to back to college to earn a Bachelor's Degree... It's kind of a big deal since I am 37 years old, married with two kids and I just graduated with an associates in 2008. Going to college was such a life changing experience for me. It was difficult, but I appreciated every moment and felt such pride and accomplishment. I just never thought that college was in the cards for me. One of my dreams is to create my own line of textiles and so I'm off! I am open to unlimited possibilities.... Well, I have to keep my fingers crossed. I applied today and had my transcripts sent to the university. Now I wait....and hope they call me back to present my portfolio. Keep your fingers crossed for me...Just the thought is making me teary eyed. OMG! Fine Arts!!! I love it!
