INSPIRED!!!

I AM INSPIRED..HEAR ME WHOO HOO!

Thank You to Nicole Campanella (a very talented and very published bead artist) whom the other day was very complimentary about my blog. Oh yes...I remember now...the blog I started (and was going to post to EVERY day) with the intention of inspiring others.

Obviously my goal has not been fully realized...as I'm sure I've only inspired the masses to bouts of prolonged yawning...or the urge to sit down with an entire lemon meringue pie (I won't mention names...you know who you are). Cough cough...starts with V...ends in ic.

As far as what inspires me personally...I'm inspired by everything...often seemingly miniscule things...which may slip unknowingly into my mind..tuck themselves away within some rat's nest of collected information, and then days or months later...reappear out of nowhere while I'm working on some unrelated project...and suddenly they will cause me to think of something that sprouts into a brilliant idea. Voila.

So...perhaps it's not important that I put out some earth shattering mind bending new creative explosion of enlightenment on a daily basis...but rather I just throw ideas out and let them be carried by the wind , and perhaps you'll find something inspiring to take from them...perhaps not. Even if only here or there, you find yourself inspired...and then you go on to inspire others...that's pretty awesome, don't you think? It kind of sounds rather, "we are the world-ish"..doesn't it? By the way, where did I put those Birkenstocks? LOL

Back to Nicole!!!...I have had the great pleasure of corresponding with Nicole recently...She's so enthusiastic and so creatively driven!! I ordered her wonderful BeadBacking!! It's the most incredible bead foundation!! It's something she herself developed years ago (It's new to me!!...Of course, you realize I'm a late bloomer)...and it comes in a beauiful array of colors!!
