Inspiration! This morning, after dropping Chayce off at school, the boys and I hit a few tag sales. Looking for some fun holiday inspiration! Last night I was going through old magazines...a big and most relaxing hobby of mine while using my new Mistral lotion. Yum!
So I am trying to blog just to re-organize my mind here. Need to make a planner list like Shawn does. But for sure, I need to reorganize my office desk. Chap-stick, camera cords, notebooks, magazines, paper clips, Christmas Cd's from last year, portable external hard drives, chayce's hair clips...come on! LOL So when the kiddies hit the hay tonight, that will be one thing I attempt. Maybe while Chris and I stay up late watching movies.
This morning I picked up some new black snow pants for Chayce. I am already getting excited to hit the snow this winter. And Chris will be going on a few overnight snow trips so he's certainly becoming the snow expert now. Just need to find some sleds and look into ski classes for Chayce. I have NEVER skied my entire life and am too chicken too so hoping the kids learn now and enjoy this incredible snow we get.
So I hope you all have a splendid weekend. And please send any "inspiration" you have over this way. :)
Til then, toodles dear ones!
Jenn
Looks like you've got a great selection of mags there for inspiration. Have you seen the new blueprint mag? The cover alone inspires me. :) Can't wait to see your to-do list AND pics of you as a snow bunny. :)

Hello! Just wanted to share some things I've been doing for inspiration...
-Search "vintage pink Christmas" on eBay (wowee!!!)
-Get some real glass glitter and make something using it...if you haven't tried it yet, you'll never go back to regular glitter ever again!
-Pile up coordinating fabric or paper or whatever your personal "eye candy" is in color-coordinated piles
-If you're into paper, look at the vintage-inspired oh-so-yummy paper kits on Alpha Stamps. LOVE THEM.
-Fill glass bottles with pretty materials you have that inspire you (like vintage millinery flowers, trims, hardware, etc.)and display them in your studio/office/workarea
Just a few ideas! And I'm loving the pieces I've bought from you on eBay lately, by the way!!!! Gorgeous in person!!!
hugs to you...
Cheryl :)
