Blog It Forward: My inspiration

I'm thrilled to bits to participate in Blog It Forward, a mashup of sorts organized (and man, did it take some organizing) by Victoria of sfgirlbybay. Really, I don't know how she figured it all out. (300 bloggers?! Eeep!) But all I know is that today is my day to talk about what inspires me.

And that, my friends, is ridiculously hard.

Especially hard because I certainly don't have enough space. I tried writing this post a couple of times yesterday, and nothing felt right. I always got the feeling that I was leaving something out, or that it was getting too wordy. You really don't want an essay on why my dog inspires me. Really, you don't.

So here. A mashup of what spewed from my head over the past couple of days. It's really just the tip of the iceberg. I will say that doodling/drawing/jotting down words has been my main source of creative energy these days, soooo.....

And you know, I'm just going to leave it at that.

Check out yesterday's blogger, the wife of an artist, and coming up on monday, the yellow house in the u takes the reins.

I love how you have shared your inspirations with us, simple and in your own hand. I feel I could look at your doodling all day. I have a couple of weeks before my mash up post and I'm already finding it hard, but I'm sure in time it will come to me. I have too many things I find inspiration in like yourself!

Thanks everyone! Tina, it'll come. And if it doesn't (like it didn't for me), just throw up your hands and doodle it all out. It's pretty satisfying!

Very clever! I love it! Hey, you have a nice name. :) I love dotted lines, note books, Polaroids oh how I love Polaroids and old cameras. Looks like we have many things in common, thanks to Blog It Forward for the introduction.

Love it! We share have many things of inspiration in common. The dog picture caught my eye - I always love it when my dog sleeps on his back.

This blog mash is such a fun way to visit new blogs.
