this is the extent of my easter decorating this year, 

this isn't even decorating it's easter stuff sitting on my table!

i planned on growing easter grass

making a pillow or two

i thought these easter jars were darling

and I've seen some really cute homemade carrots.

you never know, i might pull it together at the last minute

hate to admit it,  but it's my MO!

there's lots of inspiration on the web...clic here for a larger view

if it's old, it's new, if it hangs, it's chic...

be inspired...

she inspries me...

are you feeling sticky...

Color duct tape is really fun, but is it worth the price?

From some the photos above I guess there are some advantages, LOL.

And then there is Washi paper tape.

Now that seems to be a bit more crafty!

inspiration boards...

I recently discovered a rainbow of inspiration.

I don't usually go to wedding sites but my goodness they are definitely my new addiction!

I'd say that 99.9% of the sites I visited had inspiration boards for a variety of colors.

Why do I love them???

Color

Texture

Photos

Imagination at it's best

A great source for finding inspiration.

Try it, you'll like it!

frilly, girly girl stuff...

I found all these frilly, girl girl things at kid to kid. I wasn't aware that they sold "new" items as well as used. These frilly skirts are $25, about $10-$15 {plus} less than the boutiques.

I found these at a party store in Lehi on sale for$10.

And... this one at Shopko on sale for $10, too.

in my travels...

Anyone out there who doesn't love Taipan???

I don't have to buy anything, just walking in the door

is like going to Disneyland for adults!

Pretty, shiny things abound...

I especially love these guys!

I definately want them, well at least one!

Love this idea!

Give a woman an old bench, a saw and an idea...Wala!

overcoming creative block

I came across this post on a blog by Scott Hanson ISO50 from another site I really like, Craft Gossip. What caught my eye was the post title "overcoming creative block". Scott interviewed 25 artists on how they overcame creative block. One of my favorite answers is below but all were very interesting!

Many of us feel we are "creatively challenged" (especially when blog hopping between what i consider to be extremely talented, creative, people and their sites). We don't need to be "artists" to feel creative block. Sometimes we just feel blocked period.

I absolutely believe we can find inspiration everywhere, too. If we open our eyes to see beyond our normal vision, inspiration practically hits us in the face. I have been contemplating this "inspiration" thing for some time now. Hence, this blog was born. If for no one else, for me to keep track of people and places I find inspiring and make me feel happy.

My 2 cents... I think these people (talents vary according to personal preference) get out and do things we only think we will do or want to do some day!

Tom Muller's response (a belgian graphic designer):

To use this horribly overused sentence “I get inspiration from everywhere” read more...

I died and went to turquoise Heaven, thanks Martha!

Mom and I had time in between appointments so we took a stroll through Macys. What a treat! I could my whole entire kitchen in turquoise...but to justify the overhaul would mean I would have to cook :{. Sorry Martha, Hello Marie (Calendar meals)
