To be honest, my life at the moment is pretty inspiring. I took some decisions this summer, carried them out and feel so good. It has helped me to have more time for my creativity as I don't have to think about those decisions anymore.

Awesome! I was recently inspired by your use of the square punch... I finally broke down and bought one. Can't wait to play with it.

Lately, I am inspired by my husband.
We made the decision for him to leave full time work for a part-time schedule with a smaller company, and I know many would be hit by the lack of status/pay that comes from a move like that when so many friends are gearing up their careers now that we are in our mid-thirties.
He is making the most of the summer with us (I teach) and the kids get so much daddy time. The kids don't know how lucky they are, but I do. He has been making the most of every minute. We might not always be able to afford this set-up, but for right now I am glad that I married a man who really is able to put his family first.

I just returned from the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. It certainly inspired me to scrapbook a page showing how magnificent they are.

what inspires me lately would have to be... JUST LIFE!!! in the everyday events, things happen that i want to capture and remember, so i scrap it, journal it and preserve it!! so simple, but just 'what it is'!! thanks for sharing your inspiration, your family photos are lovely and give a glimpse of so much what you are about!!!

Something inspiring me lately is the change in seasons. I can already see trees in the Seattle area changing color and it is so awesome =0)

So inspired by a class I took last weekend with Teresa Collins. It's really helped me think more about the PURPOSE behind scrapbooking, rather than the PRODUCTS!

I'm simplifying, and it is SO inspiring to me. I'm starting to say "no" and trying not to feel guilty about it. Hopefully that will leave me more time to scrap!

Right now I am inspired by watching my 2 year old daughter discover the world around her and find joy in the little things that "older eyes" often overlook...

Something inspiring me lately is the reason behind family bonds . . . and why we need to keep that going.

the last days my drawings are very inspired by the New Model Army Covers, drawn by Joolz Denby. Specially I like the simpleness with grace of the sakura blossom of the forthcoming CD. Looking forward to hear it while drawing white/pink sakuras on the wall and hearing the old CDs.
Have a good week!

The movie Julie and Julia has been very inspiring to me. I just turned 30 and have come to a crossroads in my life, just like the character Julie. Its good to realize that a good,fun, and creative life can be lived past 30!

Summer has inspired me to be more productive. I feel more productive in the summer. I mean, I finished 'this' year's Christmas cards already. :D
