saturday inspiration
Tuesday, January 13, 2009 at 10:24AM At the start of Saturday morning I was feeling drained....creatively empty. I picked up my friend Nichole in the afternoon for some girl time. We wanted to do something cheap or preferably free so we grabbed a cup of oh so yummy coffee from Shades of Brown and headed out to rummage through thrift stores. It was so much fun to just look at all of the neat things and get my creative juices flowing.
I love the sparkle of this old clock radio.
Nichole is much more intelligent than I am. She is making all A's in nursing school. I am insanely jealous of her brain. Mine is a jumbled up mess of ideas. This next photo makes me laugh because I saw these old pictures and immediately thought of painting them and then adding my own photo with modge podge. As I declared my love for these seemingly ugly decorations Nichole asked me "What is it? What does it do?" She knew I had brewed up some sort of idea for them.
I love this old trunk. Most people would hate that it looks worn out but that is exactly why I love it.
I did buy a little something that i am going to doctor up. I will post photos of this mystery project when it is complete. No telling when that will be.

Shan, Shan, Shan... you're very sweet for boasting of my intelligence BUT c'mon, there's nothing more that I would love than to be able to see what you see through your eyes! You were cracking me up the other day, picking up and investigating all of those diamonds in the rough. I feel like like I had a huge invisible question mark lingering over my head most of that day, wondering "what could she possibly do with that?!" Dumb question, I know :) You inspire ME, Shannon! Heck, the next time I begin a new paper for school, I might even use blue ink instead of black. Meanwhile, you just keep doing what comes naturally... creating beautiful things!
i love the old trunk to, because it is old and tired looking!
What a fun day! Girl time, what's that? HaHa!
Sounds great!
