Do any of you feel your creativity can be stifled by too much input? Do you have an artistic temperament? How do you deal with criticism?
Personally I take it with a grain of salt, smile and keep on doing what I want to do. Once early on in my interior design career, my DH was offering way to much advice and I flat out told him, this was MY Business, and not his. These days I'm so mellow I just listen, nod, and smile. Age does that!!! :-D
