Sponsor Giveaways: Yume Design, My Scrap Deals, Evalicious

my new job is inspiring me right now...new school distric, new school, new grade level. it's a lot of change at one time, but it has inspired me to become recommited to education. although i don't want summer to end i'm excited for this new start!

I've been inspired to create a layout from a film poster I saw at the cinema yesterday for the film (500) Days of Summer.

I've been inspired by the pool! I kid you not! The smell of the chlorine, the sunscreen, the sudden splashes of cold water. My true memory of this summer!

New stuff! It'll be a while before I see any of the new CHA stuff but have been enjoying all the coverage on the net. Jennifer McGuires Thinking Inking Class is teaching me a bunch of new stuff. And finally as we are heading out of winter I can see lots of new buds sneaking into the garden I'm looking foward to spring!

I have been inspired creatively by the wonderfully talented blogs I check on regularly. I'm also beginning to feel a little better physically - the doctor knocked some sense into me and the workouts have been stepped up in intensity. Great giveaway!

I'm currently inspired by my mom's upcoming visit (to see her 9 month old grandson!)to catch up on cleaning projects that have been put off for 9 months...or longer! The windows got cleaned inside and out this morning; I can see the top of my computer desk for the first time in ages; next it's time to file away some papers and then I'll be organizing my scrapbook room and sewing space so that creativity can ensue while she's here!

I have been finding myself inspired by *life*... as I have purposed anew to live, fully-engaged in the here and now, I have been surprised and delighted by the inspiration and beauty, which formerly unobserved was unnoticed.
I also find myself inspired by your blog. If I only have time to look at one creative blog, yours wins, hands down. Thank you for putting together such fabulous content! (I'm saving my pennies in hopes of taking your BPS class in October!)

I am inspired by all the kids that are recovering from Autism! Working for a Defeat Autism Now! Doc is very rewarding!

inspired right now by all my creative friends and keeping up with their lives and creations with their blog updates. i am seriously addicted to following blogs!!

My day-by-day now is being much more inspiring since I started a journal about it. I'm really quite enjoying putting time, effort and love into it. :)

I'm inspired by some changes that are hopefully coming our way. DH has been off work since the spring, but things are looking up for the fall. And there are some changes (good ones) coming from my work too. Making me hopeful.

I've found inspiration in old (and new) pictures of high school classmates!

Looking at our photos from our vaction to Italy and Spain makes me realize that my boys will be grown and out of the house way too soon. These wonderful memories have made me try to slow down a bit and enjoy some of the day to day moments in my life.

Packaging. Specifically, the packaging for Lucia candles at the bookstore. I almost bought the candle, just to have the paper it's wrapped to scrapbook with!

My inspiration is coming from our new shared hobby room and its white furniture :o)
I can't wait to finish organizing my stuff and start making projects!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

recently I am inspired by each adventure we have encountered this summer --- seeing things through 2 additional sets of eyes and ages -- it reminds me that the possibilities are endless :) I love summer with the kiddos :)

Just today I was thinking about the seasons changing and how quickly time passes. Seems like a strange thing to be inspired by, rather something that would make you feel stressed than inspired. Still, walking around on such a warm summer's day and remembering how just a few months ago we were knee-deep in snow and knowing that nature soon will get all dressed up in her autumn gear made me feel so grateful of the fact that I'm living in a part of the world where we get to truly experience the changing of the seasons. (Must remember to document this feeling, and your wonderful Week in the life would be a great way of doing so.)

My children inspire me as I watch them grow & see the world through their eyes & rediscover little things that I might otherwise take for granted. It's refreshing, it's inspiring. :o)

I have been inspired lately by summer. All the beautiful bright colours of flowers and the green grass. It just brightens me up and makes me want to capture the feeling it evokes in me.

I am inspired by every living thing around me. People, plants, flowers, grass, my kitten and most of all my grandson.
