Inspired Quotes + Giveaway!

If you have not looked at Pinterest then you have not seen all the wonderful inspiration for designs and crafts. One of the things that I have found are awesome inspirational quotes that help me remember to be grounded. But be warned once you start you can't stop.

Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the everyday business of getting through the day we forget some of the most important things.




Karen

Thanks for an inspiring week, Karen! We love the variety of ideas you shared to help keep us all thinking creatively and seeing sweet photos of your adorable baby Rose.


Ok readers, it's your turn to show Karen how much you enjoyed this week by leaving a comment on today's post. Let her know which day was your favorite this week and we will enter you into a giveaway for some SEI goodies. The giveaway ends Sunday, September 18th at 11:59 pm MST.

Good luck and happy weekend!

    I liked the bulletin boards- so many I've seen are over the top with decorative fabric. The burlap was perfect! And, it surprises me, but I liked the fashion update. My upscale fashion these days is a "dressy" tshirt. Yeah. Pathetic. But, I found that some of the upcoming "looks of fall" are things I actually have or like. Unusual.

    I have to admit that "Go Big Red" was exactly like something I would do. What a wonderful idea! But all the blog pages were terrific! Thanks Karen!

    I love the scrapbook wall, great idea and great way to display lots of precious pictures and change the beautiful SEI papers out. It is so hard to pick out which papers to use and this is a great way to use them all.

    This was a great week, and I was impressed with each idea. however, the large "scrapbook" bulletin boards are m y favorite. i have two children in college, and this would be a great step up over the typical plain bulletin board.

    Here's hoping I'm lucky; I'd love to win.

    I usually avoid 'seasonal colors' because their limited palettes feel so uninspiring to me. But the grouping you put up? Now, that was color! Phlox, honeysuckle, emberglow, bamboo . . . even the names sparked, then flared and finally blazed in technicolor! Inspiration galore!!!!!
