I have been inspired lately by anything vintage. My daughter and I have been visiting several antique stores. I haven't bought much but I have been getting great ideas and have a big wish list!

Hi Ali, I am inspired by my children. They are always doing something different, and usually funny, which gives me endless photos to scrap and have fun with!

Tonight, before leaving a friend's house - her husband told me how much he loved a personalized piece that I made for them ... how he loved knowing that something he thought was totally awesome was thought of the same way by all their friends when they saw their house. He allowed me to be inspired by myself - which I think is a totally awesome gift.

I am inspired by my 2.5 yr old daughter who has Cerebral Palsy. She just started walking on her own after the doc told me 8 weeks ago that she'd never walk on her own in her life by herself. Her determination is addicting!

Lately I hve been inspired by my son Marcus. He's 2 1/2 years old and is an amazing little guy. It amazes me how everyday he learns new things and how he is beginning to work thru solving his own problems.

Currently I am inspired by my husband. He asks about things and really listens. He is involved in the big decisions we face. He cares deeply for us and works hard to give us a good life. He is encouraging to me in all that I do. He loves me. Messy, funny, eclectic, creative, opinionated me.

Lately, inspired by emotions. Due to changes in circumstances and relationships my emotions have run the full gambit - sharing the stories keeps it real!
