Blog It Forward

I’ve had so much going on in the past weeks that I have to confess I completely forgot about Blog It Forward. In the order of things, I was behind Where the Lovely Things Are and before Wild Magnolia 9. It’s amazing to see what inspires such talents tradespeople and bloggers. I encourage you to head over to Blog It Forward for some click-around fun.

As I started to think about what inspires me, a few of the answers came easily, and a few of the answers fell closer to my heart. For starters, the paper industry inspires me.

Next, blue rooms inspire me. I’m not sure why, because my token “favorite color” is pink. But there is something soothing about blue rooms, especially when the color is tinged with grey-green.

Probably one of the most inspirational things ever is a good vacation. My husband and I love skiing, Colorado, and most particularly, Vail. Below is a shot of us from a while back.

The pregnancy paid off, though, and last fall we were blessed with another inspiration: my son. So far, motherhood has been the most precious adventure, and definitely one of the most inspirational journeys so far.

    Just found your blog and love it! My family and friend inspire me as well, I too love stationary and I am always looking for new!

    Ditto on the paper, vacation, and dog inspirations! I'm also inspired by the outdoors(a good rain storm, beach scene or sunset), food, and architecture (especially old buildings)!

    Have you ever tried a website like http://kuler.adobe.com to "create" color palettes from digital photos? It's pretty fascinating! It's neat to see how technology breaks down the colors of something you might just think "looks pretty".

    Each and every day I devote myself to design, inspire and to create an artful life. Aesthetically, I believe beauty is all about "attitude with gratitude" and I feel that shines forth from you!
