Top 10 Things That Inspires Me
Not to say that there are only 10 things that inspire me, but the list has to end somewhere doesn't it.
1. Country Home Magazine: I guess if I had to define a style that I like it would be country cottage. There is something so welcoming and warm about that rustic style. Lots of good ideas in this magazine. Now all I need to do is get a subscription (or perhaps someone could get it for me- wink, wink).
2. My students: It's always amazing to see what kids can create with just a few tools and instructions. I love it when they explore or when they learn their hidden potential.
3. Candice Olson from Divine Design: I am not joking when I say that I would move to Canada just so she could re-do one of my rooms. One day I will sign up for an Oprah show and tell her that I would http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.giflike to meet Candice Olson. Then Oprah could bring her to me, instead of moving.
4. Michaels: Some people might actually think I chose my home because it's only a block from Michaels. I'll leave that up to you to decide.
5. My mother: She probably should be at the top of the list. I think it's in our genes to be crafty because she is my Asian Martha Stewart. Also, my two other sisters are on the craft scale as well, which is why I think it's in our blood. If it's not in our blood then it's because of all those fun after school classes that she signed us up for. I remember learning about photography in the basement of the Anchorage Art Museum.
6. Other craft people: In general people inspire me. Take for example my parent Kapris. Her one gift caused an infatuation with scrapbooking. Crafting is really an addiction and an expensive one at that.
7. Better Homes and Garden: LoVe, LoVe, LoVe this magazine. I never seem to make anything in the magazine, but it's definitely inspirational.
8. Artsonia.com: Great idea for children's artwork, which is something I am constantly looking at.
9. IKEA and Pottery Barn: Even though I can't always afford their furniture, I will often look at the artwork in their displays for painting ideas.
10. Nature (some of my favorite flickr photos from other peeps): As many of you know this is the one and only thing I like to shoot. It's always so simple, clean, pure, and beautiful. I love finding the perfect moment to capture outside and I am so excited about my new Macro lens. This will enable to me to get even closer to flowers and bugs, etc. Can't wait.
