creating an inspiration board

 I bought a bulletin board at Hobby Lobby awhile ago and never hung it up

until now, as I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do with it.

I knew I wanted to make an inspiration board, but what to put on it?

Basically, an inspiration board is a collage of anything that "speaks" to you

or inspires you. It's anything you want it to be. You can use photos, fabric,

postcards, paint chips, lists, ticket stubs, a flower, drawings, recipes.

Whatever attracts you and draws you in.

In the end, I went through some photos, cards, and other little sentimental 

mementos and decided to just start pinning them up, not really stopping to think

  about it. Just go with it and see what evolves. There's pictures of my sons, one

 of me and my hubby, a beautiful card from my husband, little mementos from

 friends, a particular poem I like, and in the middle right ~ two photos of myself: 

one when I was eight years old and a flower girl at my aunt's wedding, and the other

 of my young (just turned 22) self as a bride.

I have this inspiration board hanging in my office (what used to be Phil's room)

which still doesn't have blinds or curtains! Have I ever mentioned we are very

pokey about completing room makeover projects?!

Have a beautiful and inspiring weekend!
