Beautiful Inspiration Boards

... so much inspiration, you cannot help but want to be creative and make something! The first image is my board in my studio. As you know, I love butterflies. The center print is from my friend, Katie Daisy! I just love the vibrant colors flowing into each other in such a graceful way... and the two prints on either side are from my friend Colette over at Raw Art Letterpress. I am in awe of the process of letterpress and I was so thrilled to receive my custom Bright, Bold, and Beautiful piece of art!

Check out some more beautiful inspiration boards to get you kick started today!

Bright, Bold, and Beautiful : Reverie

Melissa of Reverie is the next host in my BB&B guest post series,

"What is bright, bold, and beautiful to you?" Thank you Melissa!

One of my ongoing goals in life is to constantly surround myself with beautiful things ~ I make it a daily habit to try and find the beauty in everything. So when the lovely Laura asked me to share what Bright, Bold and Beautiful means to me, I had a really difficult time narrowing it down to just a few items, but I did it (and I could do it a thousand times over because truly, life is a constant flow of BB&B!).

When yellow is used just right ~It is my perfect idea of happy and BRIGHT!

The mixture of architecture, culture and old ~Makes for a great

design statement of BOLD.

Nothing glamorous or fanciful ~Just nature and simply BEAUTIFUL.

more Earth, Wind and Fire

Just a quick update on the concert last night in Richmond. Earth, Wind and Fire still has three original band members shown here. Next year will be the 40th year of Earth, Wind and Fire, and they still rocked the stage.

And, yes, I do have to mention that I ran up to the front row and shook their hands...what a spectacular concert and night!

The next time a play, band, or show comes to your city, don't hesitate... just buy the tickets. Life is too short and we need to enjoy it! I certainly did last night... thanks EW&F.
