I am being inspired lately by my friends who are having babies and all the cute photos of your new little angel. Since no more babies for me I am inspired by the colors that both friends have chosen for their nursery. The pink and green for the girl and the pink and brown for the boy. I am really thinking about painting my own house in these colors and doing all my layouts from now on with these colors.

My two girls are inspiring me to look at things differently. I love how they see things for the first time and might not understand things at first; their comments can be so funny!

blog surfing....there are sooo many awesome blogs out there, I could read for hours! Most of them have awesome tutorials making it easy for me to replicate at home! Very cool in my book!

I'm inspired by all the babies surrounding me. Everyone seems to be having babies and it just makes me so hopeful and buoyant.

I am inspired by nature. No matter the season, when I feel blocked I stop and take a good look at the beauty that surrounds me.
Everytime I look, there's something different; did I miss it before or is it new?
Nature just puts me in awe and helps me stop spinning and renew...
Right now, I'm on a family vacation in Sunriver, Or; a great place to do this!
Enjoy your new addition! Anna is beautiful addition to your adorable family!:)

Right now I've been visiting alot of blogs that focus on party planning and I have been very very inspired by them. It really makes me want to get out there and advertise my own party planning and make it work for real.

I am inspired by the lovely flowers, bees and butterflies I found at parks! They never fail to inspire me as they are really the pretty little things of life. Sad to say, sometimes they're being too overlooked by others.

simple.....I'm being inspired by the smallest simplest things....the color of the sky....the look of the snow out the front window....a single word like "hope"...and simple pleasures like a cup of coffee

I am inspired by the hint of spring that I can taste in the air lately and the fact that summer comes right behind that. The end of winter (and its perpetual grayness) is near...I can feel it. And it motivates and inspires me!

Two of my very best friends are here in Alabama for the weekend -- from Colorado and California. :) They're very inspiring to be around, and we're going to go off to a retreat together. Yay!

My baby boy is my inspiration. I want to document all his life and the best way is through photogaphy. So, I am constantly being inspired by the little movements that he makes. I love it!

Smiling people are inspiring me, especially when the news around us seems so grim! Sher B

Lately I have been inspired overall by this quote: "There are years that ask questions and years that answer." - Zora Neale Hurston
For scrapbooking specifically, I've gotten a lot of recent inspiration from the Sassafras Lass blog! (http://sassafras.typepad.com/)

Not being inspired by items, but by friends having babies. I really haven't been in the scrapping/crafting mood for a month or two and was boycotting my craft room. Then, in the course of two days, I found out 3 friends were expecting. All sorts of ready to get to making shower gifts for all three and favors for one of the showers.
Ali, you are awsome!

Lately I've been inspired by nature. We took a trip to a rural park and I stood alone at the edge of a beautiful, pristine lake and was struck by the power of the SILENCE. I had forgotten how noisy my city life is - what I think is quiet is nothing compared to the absolute stillness that exist in the remote spaces.

I am being inspired by anything spring these days, especially bright colors. From reading the other comments, it sounds like I'm not alone!

I have been inspired by my recent success with my weight loss. I have lost 86 lbs so far, 25 of it since last May. I honestly didn't think I could do it. Recently I have been inspired to go further with it, trying new foods, challenging myself with my exercise, etc. I have also found that my success with the weight loss has inspired me to challenge myself in other areas such well, such as my photography and scrapbooking, and trying things I never would have done before.

Personal photos are inspiring me right now. I'm going through photos form 2007 that I didn't have much time to look at. They make me happy and excited to work with them. Thanks!

The smell of earth. Nothing is more inspiring than the scent of spring on the horizon. Cliche, yes, but super inspiring. Actually, a tomato in my kitchen window inspried me the other day to write an ode to my camera. Check it out here at: http://crowswill.blogspot.com/2009/02/ode-to-my-camera.html

I'm inspired by my tulips just starting to come up and the warm days in anticipation of spring (that we've had very spottily (sp?) in between the snow and rain (WA State!). I'm hoping they just survive at this point. I'm also inspired by Aby Garvey's Organizing Weekly tips as I so deperately need to get organized, my scrapbook being the biggest problem area.
