my six year old and his pencil sketches of our family , his friends, and all things star wars are inspiring to me. I love to see how he is adding more and more detail each time, how he is passionate and complementary about his own work. I love that art brings him joy.

I'm inspired by my14 year old daughter's take on life. She has to deal with a lot of anxiety/OCD issues, and she's getting ready to start high school in 2 weeks, but she's handling it well and taking it in stride...not panicking...not fretting...just realizing that it is what it is and she'll handle it as it comes. I learn a lot from her.

I am so inspired by the strength and courage of my dear stepmother. My father is suffering from Alzheimer's disease and just recently fell and broke his hip. She has been his rock, and seldom leaves his side. She has so much faith and encouragement that it is helping the rest of us get through this tough time.

Scrapping blogs of all kinds are very inspiring to me lately. I love seeing what people are doing with both paper and digital scrapbooking. That's something I'd love to give a try some time soon.

I have been inspired lately in making an album for a surprise gift. As I am receiving family pictures; letters, etc. I am seeing her in another way. It inspires me to really make this scrapbook special; more so than I wanted too! I love seeing inside of other people's lives through their pictures. It gives such a personal testimony! Heres to a wonderful life!A second inspiration came from visitinng a Hospice patient and her spouse. Her spouse was the photographer and journalist; he typed out daily what they did, how much things cost and even kept a running total of how much they spent typed out on this 8 1/2x11 page! This was done many years ago; before scrapbooking was IN! IT was quite inspiring to me!

I'm inspired by my 4 1/2 year old who always is happy and gleeful about something. His innocence keeps him from being concerned about worldly issues. I need to take a page out of HIS book and find everyday joy in my everyday life! Thanks for the giveaways that you offer! how fun is that. God bless.

Right now I'm being inspired to use technology to get organized. I recently discovered springboard and it lets you plan, list, grab ideas from the web and have everything in one place. Hopefully this will inspire me to complete some projects I've wanted to get done and start some new ones.

Lately, I've been inspired by older photos. I look back at baby pictures of my little brother and think of when he was just a little guy with a very sweet spirit. Very font memories and I am so inspired to scrap them!

Lately I've been inspired by furniture re-dos. I have some old pieces that don't meet my needs anymore and I've seen people come up with phenomenal makeovers which have motivated me to jump in and change what I have to my taste rather than spend money I don't have for things I may not truly need.
