An Inspiration Rabbit Trail

One of the most common questions people ask me is "How do you stay inspired?". Today I'm going to show you one of my ways... I call it 'the Inspiration Rabbit Trail'. I start with one image, theme or word. In this case, I started with "Cake". As I found pictures of cake, they made me think of other things, so I did a search for that (I do most searches through flickr, google-images, etsy, weheartit.com, sometimes youtube & iTunes and from memory of things I've seen on blogs I read). Tons of options will come up, but there's always a few that really capture me and continue to make me think of other things to search. Along the way, my head is filling with ideas, patterns, combination's, energy & motivation, unique supply ideas, photoshoot concepts or sets, emerging trends, magical heart flutters, ways to decorate my space to be inspiring, etc...but most of all, I'm always especially inspired by the passion and ideas behind the people who took the photos, made the craft and live the life :] Enjoy today's journey, be inspired and try to see the connections in the Rabbit Trail...
