What’s Inspiring You This Week?
Here’s What’s Inspiring Me!

Book Of The Week – Finding Spiritual Whitespace

Finding Spiritual Whitespace

If I could only read one book this summer –
Finding Spiritual Whitespace by Bonnie Gray
Would be at the top of my reading list!

I whole-heartedly recommend this book to you!

Whitespace breathes beauty

Karen – Stamping On The Back Porch

Embossing In Color

If you are interested in creating beautiful cards or
Learning new paper-crafting techniques,
May I suggest a visit to Karen Titus’s website?

Each week she shares not only her latest projects –
But she also provides a video tutorial for those
Who learn best by watching!

Watercolor Technique

This week she shared techniques for Embossing In Color
And a gorgeous Watercoloring Technique.

Which technique do you want to learn first?

Diane – Fourth Of July Ice Cream

July 4th Ice Cream

It’s summer and the family is sweltering.
You’re in the mood for a cool and festive treat.
What could lift your spirits more than Diane’s
Festive Fourth Of July Ice Cream?

Marie – Fresh Strawberry Salsa

Fresh Strawberry Salsa

Few things say summer like strawberries!
If your garden is brimming with these healthy delights,
Marie’s Fresh Strawberry Salsa will make a
Welcome and colorful addition to your next meal!

Ramona – God Bless America Card

God Bless America Card

We commemorate our nation’s birthday once a year –
But we celebrate our freedom all year long!
May God Bless America each and every day!

Molly – Star Spangled Table Decor

4th Of July Table Setting

If you are looking for a patriotic table setting that’s sure to please –
Than look no further than Molly’s delightful Star Spangled Table Décor!
It’s bright, fun and festive – and best of all, takes less than an hour to create!

Music To Inspire You – Little Pink Houses

Welcome to Music Moves Me! This week’s theme is a Freebie,
And since we it’s still Independence Day Weekend,
I’ve chosen Little Pink Houses by John Cougar Mellencamp
To celebrate A Little Slice of Americana!

Inspire Me Monday #131 – Week Of July 6, 2014

Inspire Me Monday

I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!
Judy Palmer
