Inspiration in the cold, snowy grip........

So my gooooooooooooood friend Tracey (Glitterbug Studios) called me tonight and said "make a new blog post, I'm getting sick of looking at the current one!" So to appease my sista, here it is!

The past week I've been feeling the effects of this craptastic weather. You know how the winter starts to wear on your nerves toward the middle of February (thank goodness it's a short month!)?????
So you must find some thing, even if it is a tiny thing, to bring you joy and inspire you each day. So I went looking for tiny bits of inspiration and here's what I've come up with so far......

COLOR inspires me. I bought this 6 X 6 little brick of glittery paper in glitteriffic colors. The colors make my brain smile.

Silvery seed beads, vintage photos and antique demitasse silver spoons inspire me.



Cool blue seed beads with a mat finish remind me of the water in summer and that makes me happy. By the way, I got these at Let It Bead in Greenville, Pa. (this place inspires me too).




Organization both inspires and makes me happy...........


If you follow my blog you know that I draw inspiration from nature in both my art and my life (I took this picture this past Sunday when I went snowshoeing with Buddy the Wonder Dog, see my snowshoe tracks.....they're pretty erratic....no I was not drinking!).



Louis Prima's music inspires me. When I'm feeling blue, I just crank up Louis and Keely (she was his 4th wife) and I can't help but start feeling upbeat. If you are a real swingin' cool cat, you'll dig their music daddo!(how about that cool jazzy-lounge talk, eh?)

This is one of my favorite Louis Prima CDs. It's the Capital Records Collectors Series and has 23 swinging songs on it. Now that's a bargain!!!!!!

Warm feet make me very happy. These Wigwam Ski socks keep your tootsies very warm and dry.

Ok, I'll continue to search bits of inspiration and happiness in this cold snowy grip that old man winter has on me but I want to hear what inspires you during these February days so leave me a comment.

Whoot-Whoot-Whoot!!!!! This just in.............SNOWDAYS MAKE ME CRAZY HAPPY and INSPIRE ME TO DO THE DANCE OF JOY WITH MY JAMMIES ON BACKWARDS!!!!!!!
