I would love to work in Guatemala, where my husband is from because we would be close to his family and I would get to know them as well. If I could create anything, I would probably sit with the indigenous people and watch them do their weaving and see if I could learn to weave the beautiful, colored tapestries that they make.

Hi BJ!!!
These cards look wonderful….love the tropical holiday appeal….
and now for the question…(by the way…I love that you add this to all your giveaways….very neat)
If I could work anywhere in the world for one year I would love to work in Paris, France….I would focus more on my fine art and paint each and every day there …not to mention I would take a few art classes there and just being around all the culture and living streets would be a wonderful experience….then there is my love of food and merging it with art…so I think Paris would help me also further myslef in creating masterpieces in the kitchen….baking, cooking, painting….and walking around from one pâtisserie to another would make each and every day a sweet one….and you know I love my sweets….these places would inspire a whole series of paintings…..I would add to my “Sweet Escapes” series and paint and enjoy each and every day of 365 days….
Thanks for this post….you are helping me focus on me more…
Hugs

I would move back to Korea and work/create there. Many fabrics are printed there, which is great for my creating. Also, there are so many beautiful and inspiring tranquil settings. The holidays are different, the food is amazing and the lifestyle relaxed. The people there are absolutely wonderful. Sure, I don’t speak more than 7 or 8 phrases in Korean… but I do love it there. I would focus on my sewing and devote all the extra not-sewing time to drawing.
Those cards are cute and would be perfect for my family in Florida! ~jen~

I would work in Oahu Hawaii, my husband and I honeymooned there, its the most beautiful place I have ever been in my life. I would focus on painting, I am a graphic designer by trade and I miss my fine art training a lot, I just don’t have the time!

I’d love to work in Europe for a year. It just seems that when you are in Europe you travel all over and see so much. That would be great.
Optional bonus question: What would you focus on creating?
I’d create scrapbooks for myself and anybody who wants one.

I would love to go to Ireland. The countryside is so beautiful that it would be hard to not go a day without being inspired!

It would have to be NYC.

I would love to work in Ireland b/c I’ve never been and it is part of my heritage. It is also very breath-taking and thought provoking. I like to have lots of land to admire and people to share it with. I would be creating upcycled items, sewing, baking, and dog training!

I’d love to work in the countryside of Japan (with my own personal hot spring…yes I know I’m dreaming). I’ve been to Japan before and it is so serene and relaxing. Thanks! I’d work on a bunch of scrapbooking work that needs to be done. I am still working on my Japan scrapbook from my trip.

I would love to create some altered books/journals in Hawaii, the Big Island or Kauai. My husband and I travel there every other year and are trying to find a way to live there. Dreaming – not totally. We may actually do it! The beaches and atmosphere are so inpiring.
