5. Do look a gift horse in the mouth. My decorating tastes may change over time, but I am fairly certain I will never enjoy a home filled with a series of rhinestone-accented paintings of scary clowns. Yet I had hoarded these and other unattractive presents because I thought that was the decent thing to do. I also wasn’t sure what I would say if someone noticed his gift missing and asked why. Well, you know what? No one has. Not even the bestower of the scary clowns.

Enough said.

Don’t get me wrong, every person is worthy of your kindness.
But not every person is worthy of your strategic ongoing investment.
You are a limited supply of seed.
Be selective about who you sow into.

-Steven Furtick

First of all, if you haven't been to Cuppies & Joe, go.




If you have, you just might be inspired enough to try something like this cupcake book from Elinor Klivans.



I love these cupcake liners that come with it! I haven't bought the book, but it looks like so much fun...

The Way I See It #76

Thanks God for inspiring me in crazy ways... I needed this so much today.

Keep looking for inspiration always and everywhere. You never know where you'll find it.

"The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating. In work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your inner critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life."

-Anne Morris
Starbucks customer from New York City, she describes herself as an organization builder, restless American citizen, optimist.

All You Need is Love

A coworker sent me this in an email yesterday. Thought I would share on this day of love... Happy V day everyone. =)

Drips of Inspiration

I'm in the middle of creating an inspiration board in my apartment. This one was created by Darcy Miller of Martha Stewart Weddings, and is just dripping with creativity. Please God- don't ever let magazines go out of style. I need tangible print and pretty pretty pictures.

Pretty little things. Big statement.

One of my favorite design elements is wallpaper. Check out these funky designs from Walnut Wallpaper.



These would make a great accent wall in your home. More designs here.
