Finding Inspiration...

Usually inspiration isn't something that I set out looking for, but  recently my sister showed me her amazing inspiration/self-building notebook, and I was blown away!
It was full of pictures, great articles and little side notes that made you want to just get up and do something!

So, I thought to myself, this is something that I think I might want to do.  I set out and bought a notebook with some type of sticky photo paper on the inside, and I was set!


I invited my sister over to my office, b/c I was sure she would want to get in on some on the inspiration action (plus all the magazines I have access to lol).  It was a little short notice or more people would have come too :D


We got a couple of mags and marked the pages that we liked so we could come back and see if we wanted to cut them out :)


Than we cut out what we wanted and came up with a strategy to get it on the paper, at least that is what I did lol


In the end I was actually pretty happy with the outcome :)  I surprised myself a little bit!


And, just in case you were wondering, little baby pumpkin sat and played on the sidelines while all this was going on :)

All in all it was very enjoyable, and I want to try and do things like this more often.  I love getting together with people and doing things!!  So I guess I need to start making some plans :)

P.S. I would love to read how you get inspired if you would like to share ;D
