Lately, I am inspired by my future students and the possibilities that a new school year will bring! Decorating my classroom is such great fun. I have to think like a teenager to create a space that is interesting for them...too much fun!

I have really been inspired by my faith lately. I feel so strongly that the Lord is guiding me to be the best I can in all facets of my life. I am not a religious person, and do not attend church, yet I feel God's hand every day and it makes me smile.

Those are all beautiful! My inspiration lately is the great outdoors. Living in western WA I have been thoroughly enjoying the warm, sunny days. I know it's just a matter of time until they are behind us, so I'm soaking it up and using bright,cheery, summery colors in all of my creations.

I've had a lot going on lately, and my business has actually inspired me to use my time more wisely so that I can do what needs to get done and still have a little time left over for fun - like scrapping!

something that is inspiring me....the new baby girl life that entered this world one week ago today - and the way that she is embraced by her four siblings - like her oldest brother says as all four of them crowd around her when she makes a sound: she likes to be surrounded.
isn't it the truth? so inspiring........surrounded.

The great outdoors....we are just back from two weeks in Scotland, and it was full of inspiration, probably the ebst being the highland games...sights, sounds ( bagpipes ), smells ( arbroath smokies ). I've a ton of photos and can't wait to get scrapping. I love the look of the evalicious journals...one of those would be perfect. Thankyou for the chance to enter Ali.

I'm totally inspired by my Oma (German for grandmother) right now. She's 81 years old in a couple of days, and she's still traveling with her husband up to see me on their way to the lake. She has survived the wars of the Holocaust, made a fresh start in America, raised my mother and uncle, is very invovled with her church and community. I am amazed with what she does, even still today. Thanks for the amazing giveaway!!
