Gathering Inspiration

Lately I have felt like I've been in somewhat of a creative funk. So when this happens I...surf the web and gather inspiration from my favorite blogs and online galleries. I also have been taking some ideas from Pinterest to help me out of this funk I am in. So this past week, with all of the snow, power outages, and extra time on my hands. I gathered up all of that inspiration, some new products (that always helps) and buckled down and got crafty!  Here is what I came up with.

Hitting the slopes

We finally felt comfortable to leave the little one for a weekend...well one night (baby steps) I surprised Richie with a little snowy mountain get away for his birthday, which conveniently falls on New Year's Day (wink wink) We had so much fun and couldn't believe that we haven't spent any alone time together in a year and a half...OH MY!! But we took advantage of livin' up every minute we could up there. Minus the unlucky moment on our second day, getting stuck at the top of Crystal Mountain for 3+ hours. And when I say top it was the TOP! Now we are back to the daily wonderfulness of little baby Maci. Who shall I say has made it through her very first week of day care.

Until next time...

Project Life...

With the holidays right around the corner and a lot of inspiring projects out there. I have been contemplating starting a "project life" album after the new year. It's quite the commitment for me, considering that I have a hard time being consistent with even this blog. So I added some things to my Christmas list to help push me into it. Here are a few sites that have really inspired me to consider starting this HUGE project. I follow Elle's Studio Blog (which I love that they are a local company) They continue to post different project life galleries. And the other, is a video by Becky Higgins who is the actual creator of Project Life. I love her inspiration behind this and her products are very inticing to me. I guess we'll see what Santa brings me this year to help me decide. 


Here are some other things on my Christmas list...

Smashin' with my snowman!

I found this super cute snowman mug at Target...yes my FAVE store!!! But other than that I have developed this new fetish for...yep you guessed it CUTE MUGS! So I brewed some coffee last night (shouldn't have done that) and started working on my SMASH book. It was comfy and cozy up in my scrapbook room. Except next time I think I'll have tea insted:D
