When inspiration hits you like a slap in the face

During some quiet time this morning I read something once that kinda caught my eye. Moments later in the middle of reading from a different source the same verse appears.. okay coincidence?  A few minutes later, in yet another source book, at the end of the paragraph, the same verse sat there staring me in the face. More like it slapped me in the face.  I realized there was something there God just had to get me to see, even it took me 3 times to get it!

The glorious thing about this is not only did I learn a few lessons about my character and how I can improve on it, I found inspiration that had to be shared in a few cards.

Starting my own business in handmade cards and signs is a challenge and there are so many incredibly talented artists out there.   I am blessed to be able to make a go of this and I hope that I will continue to be inspired and that inspiration will lead me to make just the right thing at the right time to make someone else's day!

Inspiration

Recently I was in a waiting room and thumbing through the office magazines just trying to pass the time.  I realized as I enjoyed some of the ads and articles that there was inspiration on virtually every page.  It took a little time to really see things a bit differently, but as I took the time to really look at the colors and the combinations, I gathered a lot of inspiration .  I had so many ideas that I had to take out my phone and photograph the pages and make notes.  I was surprised that I had not done this before and kind of sad I had obviously missed out on a lot of previous opportunities.  As it turned out I was able to make seemingly long to do list for when I got home.  I can't wait to pick up my next magazine to see what I can find.
