a very good friday indeed...

37 years old. I like the sound of that. I really do.

And I have a little birthday surprise to share...





Every 2 weeks, starting April 1, I will fill my shop with wonderful items from a different artist. I'm so excited for you to see the company that's coming and all the wonderful things they are dreaming up to share with you.

Be sure to check back in on April 1 to see who the very first inspiredfriend is and all the fabulous creations she's sent over.


Another new thing is actually not really new...I'm resurrecting my old magazine, inspiredideas from pre-blogtimes. It'll be published twice a month to coincide with the inspiredfriend feature and it will be full of project ideas, inspiring stories, and creativity exercises.

I am working to refine the selections at Inspire Co. to offer truly wonderful treasures that you're not likely to find elsewhere. The selection will be everchanging, offering many one-of-a-kind items.

I've redesigned the site, complete with a new logo, to mark this change in Inspire Co. Click here to check out the new digs. And check back on April 1 to see all the new things! I can't wait for you to see it all.
