Right now I am inspired by my trip to the art store yesterday. Whenever my son and I go to Toronto for his eye doctor appointment I get to go to the art store there....I love to wander and touch everything in the fine arts section. It brings a gentle smile to me and a contentment I really need..It helps replenish my soul and opens me to all the possibilities I could create.

I am inspired by my relationship with God... the peace that I feel in times of trouble that can only be explained by the supernatural love of the One who made me.

Lately I am inspired by photos of a trip I took to New York City. Most of my shots are of architecture and lines, such as the lines of the cables on the Brooklyn Bridge and the way the stones are stacked on that bridge.Or the art deco design of the Chrysler Building. I found all of that very intriguing.Visiting the Big Applegave me a whole new perspective.

We recently moved. I have been inspired by completed layouts. My albums had been in storage for awhile. I loved looking back through them. I now have several ideas I want to use again.

My Maria inspires me. She broke her arm falling off her bike in the middle of her 8 year old summer. Swim Lessons cancelled, Slip 'N Slide becomes Walk Don't Slide, and fewer trips to the beach - all without compaints! Wow! She inspires me to BE HAPPY.

I have been assigned to the "lumbar puncture room"
3 times in the last 2 weeks. I am incredibly inspired by the brave little ones that are receiving treatment for their Leukemia. I wish I were half as brave as they are!

Old family photos are inspiring me - I am looking back through the photos I grew up with, as well as those that are new to me (thanks to shares from other family members), and I want to get to know them all over again - I want to "scrapbook" them by designing pages and albums that tell their story, as well as what they mean to me.

I am finding that the busier I am, the more inspired I get...which doesnt' often work as well as I would like it to because my busy-ness takes away from my play...however, it's all worth it in the end and I now have a plethora of ideas and inspiration just waiting for 'their' time to come out and play :)

lately I'm finding myself drawn to things that are a little vintage, a little worn.. things that show wear and tear and love. recyling and repurposing have really been on my mind. and the treasure hunting aspect of thrifting.

Lately the only thing that is keeping me inspired is my little nudger inside me. She keeps me inspired to get eveything done before she comes. Which is pretty hard, since I get exhausted easily.
