Lately I've been inspired by my four-year-old twin boys. I have a LOT of weight to lose to be at my most healthy and they are inspiring me to make the changes I need to make so that I can be around to share their journey through life.

Thanks for the giveaway!
I am inspired by watching my daughter dance on stage, doing intricate steps, and using her body magically, things I never thought I'd see since she is very timid physically.

Reading blogs is my favorite inspiration lately. From scrapbooking, to crafts in general to decorating blogs. There is just so much inspiration from talented women!

I have been inspired lately by Christine's Project Kits at Coca Daisy. I love her August School Days Album kit made with file folders. I loved the June Family and July Travel Ahead Mini-Album kits, too. The best part is that I can go through my own stash and use what I have. The ideas to get started are priceless. Thanks.

What's been inspiring me lately? The coming of fall, family get togethers, traditions, pumpkins, mums & the beautiful colors of the leaves here in MO are just a few things that I find inspiring. I guess I'm getting my inspiration at the moment from the tiny pumpkins growing in our sweet little garden.

My baby girl. She is two months old and it's amazing to watch her change and grow on a daily basis. What's crazy is that she has three older brother and the amazement I feel with her is just as fresh as it was with my firstborn. I am inspired to capture all the little things she does, photograph her expressions and movements before she changes, and is off doing something else!

It has been a summer full of inspiration. With lots of beautiful wildlife on our trips to the lake, the beach and the creek. Everything from collecting sea glass to just lazy days of drawing with out 4 year old. I find inspiration in almost everything around me.
