Those Who Inspire

I have been finding SO much inspiration lately. 

There are some blogs that are blowing me away with their ideas.
 I just LOVE it!  
 Vintage Trifles is a blog I found this past weekend and I sat for the better part of the morning looking through Martha's past posts.  It is hard to say which one of her ideas is my favorite because she has so many great ones.  Those who know me, know I tend to REALLY decorated for the holidays so here are two pictures, Halloween and Christmas that I just love.




A Halloween count down.  Read more about 13 days of Halloween






Another blog that has been inspiring me lately is Amy from Mittens.
  If you have not been following her blog yet, let me tell you she has been a creating machine.  These are only a couple of her creations.




She makes these wonderful paper wreaths and paper garlands.



How adorable are these little pillows she showed us for White Wednesday.



Amy also is hosting a Bookcover Challenge Givaway August 31. 
What ARE we going to do with all of those empty bookcovers. 
 I know it got me thinking.

Does anyone inspire you?  Or are you an inspiration to others?



One of my favorite reasons for blogging is finding new inspiration to keep me creative.  I could not think of a better way to celebrate this other than to join Debra from Common Ground.  Debra is going to be hosting a wonderful link party Vintage Inspiration Friday starting September 3.  What a wonderful way to show your appreciation for inspriation or to be inspiring yourself.


Come on, let's be CREATIVE!

  4. Hi Alaina, thanks so much for spreading the word. There is so much inspiration out there, and you mentioned a couple of wonderful blogs. I know there are so many I haven't seen. I think this will give a lot of people exposure that we haven't found yet. I'm really looking forward to getting this started!
    xo,
    Debra
