So many times I have been asked "what inspires you to create your art?". The answer to that is kind of hard to come up with since so many things inspire me. The better question to ask is "why do you create?" The answer to that is easy.......to keep my sanity!!!
After a day of homeschooling my 14 yr old ,running a small in home daycare for children under 4 yrs, cooking, cleaning and all the myriad of other things a wife and mother has to do in a day, I need to retreat to my room after all the work is done and take time for myself and create away!! Playing with all my old rusty hardware and looking through boxes of old photos is a great de-stresser and it just plain makes me happy!
So in honor of my passion for creating, I would like to share with 3 fellow bloggers a collection of things that will help you create and have some fun! I have 3 groups of goodies...each contains 6 Stampington papers, 15 vintage photos, some lace, old jewelry, buttons, a key, a spoon, some buttons, a set of 5 playing cards, brass animals, a clock gear, a hinge, a little birdie and whatever else you see!!
Here is collection A
