Inspired by Birds


I have had a fair amount of fun this week making Treasuries.....
There are two that come to mind, where I have featured stuff that has greatly inspired me ....

Blue on Black and They Call it Mellow Yellow ....

Both of the above Treasuries are not only song titles they both have birds in them....



Have I ever mentioned two of my biggest loves in life are Birds and Trees...after the husband and the kids obviously..... Lets just say the Birds I featured this week inspired me so much that I finally finished a drawing I had been doing for sometime ..... 



I am by no stretch of the imagination a good artist in the sense of how I draw..but it is something that I do with  my children... and it relaxes me when Im uptight and bugging out ...

So you can see what has inspired me this week... but what I would like to know is "whats inspiring you this week"

Have a wonderful weekend folks ...

Inspired by Love


I know Im late making a post, but when I say its been a crazy sort of week, I know you will understand.
"Its been a crazy week"there I said it ... but despite the craziness of this week I have stilled found time for one of the most important things of all time..... Love....

So this week I am Inspired by Love...

Not only does it make the world go round, its one thing we all have in common as human begins...it's as simple as loving someone.

As a child my mom said I would doodle hearts on paper and leave them around the house....

I remember doing this as a young adult and if Im totally honest I still do it now.... funny this is ...my nine year old son does it to... always hearts doodled on paper...

This makes me smile...

I love finding hearts on paper, which he has just left around...

Secret ...I save them in a box ....

Inspired by the 1920's


 I am inspired by anything old... anything older than myself that is ..
Today's modern surroundings don't really float my boat, Id rather live in a old house that was maybe built 100"of years go then a newly built building.

I would rather wear something vintage then something I just purchased at Marcy's or any shop in the mall .. not that I have the honor of doing that, somethings something that's be wore by ten different people is so much more expensive than something you can buy at the mall

One of my biggest loves is the 1920's Frapper Girls... to say I'm fascinated by them is an understatement
I would truly loved to have lived in that era ..... the music the things they wore the way they danced...all of it ... I adore it all.

I was reading a post today over at Acute Designs, and saw she to had been inspired by something similar .... you can read the story yourselves over at her blog ... her inspiration is one of the reasons for this post along with a shop that was on the front page yesterday ... so let me share with you my 1920's inspired finds.
