    Aww…I am constantly inspired by my children. They look at things in such different and surprising ways. Every day is a trip!

    oh my goodness, beth! i feel a little star-struck right now :) I've been admiring your work for awhile now. Your collages (and other pieces) are so wonderful, and refreshing! You're really doing some great things, keep up the inspiring work and thanks for saying hi!

    Thanks so much for sharing your inspirations, Kathy! I wasn't familiar with this book, and will have to check it out. Thanks again for sharing.

    Thanks so much for sharing, Jennifer. I don't have any kids myself, but I have a niece and couldn't agree more. Getting to re-experience things through her eyes is truly inspiring!


  16. November 14th, 2011 at 1:12 pm | Posted by Marian

    I am inspired by letters from friends & penpals! :)

    - the StoryCorps collection, Listening is an Act of Love
    - the jewelry of 31 Bits

    - the beautiful notebooks of Chronicle (especially the Jill Bliss ones)
    - the just-ended exhibits of Stan Sakai at the Japanese American National Museum and Tim Burton at the LA County Museum of Art

    Lately, I've been inspired by "Will Write for Food" by Dianne Jacob, and my old (original) Spirograph set. Add a little music, and I'm off creating something…

    I'm inspired by many of my coworkers – who continue to produce good journalism despite severe personnel cutbacks and less than inspiring management!!!

    Thanks so much for including Pop-Up Magazine! We're so glad you enjoy the show.

    I think I can speak for everyone when I say that it's truly one of the most inspiring events around. Thank you to you and all the contributors for creating such an amazing event. Can't wait for Issue No.6!

    I’m inspired by life with all the big and little lessons it has to offer and learn from!

    I'm currently inspired by the fellow students in the spiritual group I meet with on Wednesday nights.

    I'm inspired by my beautiful, wild, creative, naughty children and by the idea of impermanence – that every moment, good or bad, is precious and unique. Cleaning porridge off the ceiling or addressing a room full of students are equally important moments in my day and I try to feel grateful for them all.

    I'm inspired by winning free stuff.

    I am Inspired by the beautiful quilts that I saw in the blog tour posts of the book Little Bits. Additionally, the changing colors of this season are inspiring me too. I am grateful for the toothy smile that my ten-month old grandniece just gave me.
