I am inspired by the thought of my favorite season Fall that will be here next. I love the cooler weather and my favorite holiday Thanksgiving comes with it.

I am taking Jenni Bowlin's BPS class, Re-purpose, Re-thing, Re-invent. It is so inspiring and is teaching us to look at things in a completely different way. All of these prizes are great! ~Joyce

My mom is always inspiring me. She is an amazing mom and watching her patience and enthusiasm with my kids makes me want to try harder everyday to be more like her! Thanks!

My two little girls are my inspiration right now...my oldest is turning 5 in a few weeks and my youngest is almost 5 months old. I'm reminded each day, while watching the youngest, what amazing changes the oldest went through at that age. It's helping me look back and remember the little things I'd forgotten. I'm also watching the changes in my oldest. She will have one more year of preschool and then *real* school will begin. I'm watching and trying to cherish each day with all the changes...it passes so quickly. Those beautiful faces and sweet personalities are my inspiration!

I've just recently discovered blogs. I'm am so inspired by women who are sharing their skills and talents with the world! On a recent photog blog that I read a Seattle photog was taking professional pictures of women just as they are today. Not after losing 20 pounds or when they get the new hair do..etc. Just as they are now to show how beautiful you are regardless. That blew me away!

We just returned from a vacation with family in Florida. It was inspiring to attend the CHA Supershow but it was also inspiring to spend time on the beach and at Disney. We took lots & lots of family photos and I'm excited about getting them scrapped.

I am very inspired by the outdoors. The many wonders of the world around us. Each creature we encounter outside is a source of amazement for my daughters and they always like to show me new and interesting flowers, creatures we come upon during our daily walks.
Favorite words "Reflect" & "Remember" .

Being a teacher, I am on summer vacation now, so I am getting to spend lots of time with my daughter. Because of this, I am inspired by children and the way that they play with no strings attached and with no inhibition. I love how my daughter will goto the park and just make friends with whomever is there. She is not inhibited about who it is, as long as they are friendly. I wish I could be more like that. I wonder if it is age or personality that changes this about adults. Thanks for the chance to win!

Inspiration comes lately to me though music and song. God has truly given me talent that i do not deserve but I sooo appreciate and LOVE to use. I am learning to accept it and share with others to bless them in the ways that He has soo blessed me. AND..I need to start some journaling about that!! Ha!!

I am inspired by a lot lately: your blog and others, a couple of message boards.
I recently lost some photos when the hard drive on my laptop died so I am inspired to keep future photos safe and their stories told as soon as possible.
Thanks for sharing these awesome give-aways.

I've been struggling a lot lately with both being inspired and making/finding the time to scrapbook after my maternity leave ended a few weeks ago. But, slowly I think I'm learning to be inspired more by those little moments that pass too quickly with my daughter (like laying on a blanket under the trees watching the leaves with her yesterday afternoon). And I really love the idea of your new class...hoping I will be able to join in! :)

My photos seems to be what is inspiring me at the moment. I'm taking a class from Candice Stringham and I'm learning a lot and those photos are getting better - the extra work put into them makes them more important to me as well.
