SPT: A little of this and that....

Lelly's SPT challenge this week was a great idea! It's always fun to spotlight the blogs that inspire and inspire me to be a better person and a more creative individual. I find that I've picked up a little of this and a little of that from people's ideas. Mique's 30 day's of Christmas last year inspired this:

Kristi's excitement over ribbon got me interested in doing this and using ribbon on curtains and other home decor! Thanks Kristi! That's when I had to come up with an idea to store all the ribbon I bought! Before Kristi, I only had maybe a couple rolls - now look at me!



I inspire to be like Michelle, she has such a fantastic eye for decor - perhaps one day! And the one blog I remember has starting my love of Crocheting a Garden was at Angry Chicken. She made so many cute "little" things - I just didn't know that there was so much creativity and order to creating. I'm can make quite the mess when I "create" and it was inspiring to see someone that seemed so organized - yet so crafty.



What inspires you?
What ideas do you have that you haven't shared?
When can we see them?!!!

I can get ideas from just about anywhere. Something I see in someones garden. Something I might see in a craft store, or at a friends house or in a pattern book. Sometimes even a glance at some cute little girl in a darling dress. I am in a pretty big creative slump right now but I hope to pull out of it one of these days.

Oh I have sooo many to share hopefully soon, but i need to actually get them done myself. I love anything by Tone Finnanger, she is just great!

I know how inspiration comes in many forms. I guess you find it in the inspiration you need at that phase of your life. I find good people my inspiration right now. Those that are trying to live good lives and are doing good around them. I just find that is what is hitting my buttons of inspiration right now. :) Love all these charming ideas.

You have chosen some great inspirations...I enjoy the creativity of Kristi and Michelle too. I'll have to check out the other two though.

Michelle, please know that you are an inspiration to others as well!

I've been away from SPT and am so happy to be back! I love this month's themes.

That's a great way to store and creatively display spools of ribbon. Neat idea!

I've had so much fun catching up on your blog! When did your girls get SO grown up? Love the flippy hair! You always have the most beautiful pictures on your blog - you have an eye for great photo moments! Good to see you again...I look forward to getting my feet wet again and blogging more often. It's almost been a void in my life, if that makes any sense.
