What’s Inspiring You This Week?
Here’s What’s Inspiring Me!
Chicken Soup For The Soul – Home Sweet Home
No matter where we live – or how many places we travel –
There is always someplace special in our hearts that we call
Home Sweet Home.
This week, Create With Joy is delighted to launch the
Latest book in the Chicken Soup For The Soul family
And to offer three of our readers a chance to win a copy!
The giveaway is open Worldwide through June 15 so don’t miss out!
Looking for something delicious and comforting to feed your family?
It’s hard to beat Debbie’s scrumptious-looking Chicken Hand Pies!
Are you in that stage of life where you adore high-heel shoes
But find yourself craving comfortable footwear?
Take heart – thanks to Jenise, you can have your cake and eat it too!
Jenise has breathed new life into funky, high-fashion footwear with her
Adorable collection of DIY high-heel planters!
Stop by and see what she’s created – you won’t want to miss the collection!
Do you love salad but prefer flavorful additions to basic greens?
If so, pull out your grocery shopping lists –
I see Melissa’s Bacon Mango Salad in your future!
Mary – Healing Through The Arts
There is nothing more inspiring than people who share
There creative gifts and talents with those in need.
Recently, artist Mary C. Nasser led a free
Healing Through The Arts Workshop for a group of adults at the
David C. Pratt Cancer Center in Missouri.
This is one of the mono-prints the women in the class created.

What programs exist in your community that you could be a part of?
Music To Inspire You – We Didn’t Start The Fire
Happy Memorial Day to you, dear friends! This week’s theme for Music Moves Me is a Freebie! My pick for the week is Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start The Fire – a Number One song that chronicles historical events that occurred between 1949 (the year of Billy Joel’s birth) and 1989 (the year the song was released on his album Storm Front).
If you’re a history buff and would like more information about the specific events that the song lyrics reference, visit Wikipedia.

Inspire Me Monday #125 – Week Of May 25, 2014
I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!

Oh my goodness. I nearly fell off my chair when I saw my high heel planters up on your page! Thank you so much for featuring me and my planters. With so much wonderful projects posted, it is such an honor to be chosen!

Dear Jenise,
I sure hope you didn’t hurt yourself by nearly falling off of that chair! Perhaps I need to put a disclaimer with my features: I am NOT responsible for injuries due to the excitement of seeing your work featured – lol! 🙂
Seriously, Jenise, your project was FABULOUS and it was my husband who first spotted it and e-mailed it to me (and I almost fell out of my chair when I saw it!) I LOVE high heel shoes but my feet balk at the sight of them – so what a PERFECT way to feature a much-loved fashion item!
