Inspiration from the unexpected ~

I love creativity.
It could be mine, yours or someone I run across
while surfing the internet ~
Seeing something that another person has made always stirs me.

Just look at these gift wrap ideas I found on Style Me Pretty...
I love looking at wedding blogs and sites ~
so much of what's shared can be adapted for every day!





I remember running across this wedding book by Sarah Lugg ~
The Handcrafted Wedding
in Michael's one day and just LOVED it....
of course it had to come home with me :)
Sarah's artwork has been featured in Victoria magazine in the past.





Look at this wonderful bird seed favor tutorial...
I want to make these right now!
Wouldn't they be beautiful hung in a tree in your yard
at Christmas time?



I love this card display idea....
maybe for a small bird botanical??
Found here....



I love looking at something,
then trying to think
of a new way to use it...

Wishing you a very happy and blessed Friday
and Easter as well!!!
hugs and love sweet friends,
Dawn

Oh yes on the wedding books for ideas!!! I've been caught looking at those lately - wonderful ideas that oh yes, oh yes can certainly be made into a part of your everyday!

And the packaging....you've talked about that before to me and I so agree it IS important and heck, who wants to unwrap some of them?!? You know?

Just stopping by really to wish you a Happy Easter.....

I love coming to your blog everyday to see what you have to share, the packaging you shared is so pretty curious what you will come up with mayb lil sachet pillows decorated to mimic them???
Hope you have a wonderful Easter...
