Great giveaways! Thank you very much.
I'm inspired by the colors in the world around me: a never-ending palette, often in combinations I would never have thought of.

I am inspired by a good friend who seems tireless, motivated and always ready to take on new challenges. Sure keeps me from being the slacker I so easily slip into!

Lately, I've been inspired by my commute. It's a long one and it's one straight stretch of country highway. For whatever reason, I have suddenly woken up and am noticing all sorts of colors and textures on the sides of the road. The first thing I do when I get to work now is write down all the ideas I've collected on my drive.

My DH is inspiring me. After rupturing a tendon in his knee he has been a "couch potato" against his will. He walks around on crutches, tries to do everything for himself (even when it "hurts") and has been a trooper, though I know the pain is awful! Cheers to him!

Hi Ali, what wonderful giveaways.
We just came back from some family time in the Laurentian mountains north of Montreal. Being there has inspired me to spend more time in our great outdoors.

I am inspired by recent illness and death that has reminded me how short life really is, and to get out and live it!

My garden has inspired me so much this year since last year I didn't get much time to spend on my flower. Just starting plants from seed and watching them grow, inspires and amazes me. I think that is why I love this time of year the most.

Yesterday I was inspired by my 4 year old son learning to ride his bike with no training wheels. He was so proud of himself (as was I). He is still so excited this morning. We are getting rain all day today and he wants to know if he can go outside and ride his bike in the rain because he wants me to videotape him.
Thanks for the great giveawAys!

I made the leap from a point-and-shoot camera to a digital SLR. I am inspired by the photos I have taken of my children using the new camera.

I just got back from a week at Cape Cod, and have been inspired by all the cottages and cottage gardens there. In particular, the hydrangeas were in full bloom, in blues, purples, and pink/creams.
