ReplyDeleteGreat post and ideas. One thing I like to do is grab all my old magazines and books and thumb through them. Not to do one of the projects but to get inspiration. I look at the designs and colors. This usually helps me figure out something new to do.
ReplyDeleteI am with you, Theresa! I am a total magazineaholic. I just wish I had more time to relax and read.
