Today, I am inspired by these babies growing up in 4 different parts of the world.  I love to see other cultures and even with the vast differences between us, the similarities – especially as babies – are striking!

The movie comes out April 2010 – I can’t wait!

The creativity radiating from Elsita’s lovely blog, The Hidden Seed, is undeniable!  I absolutely love the Hidden Seed ~ a blog dedicated to self expression through style. Head over for a visit, and I assure you that you will be inspired the next time you reach for something to wear (don’t forget to check out the story behind the blog).  I wish that I owned each and every outfit – so that I could look half as cute as she does!

What’s more?  She lets us in on where she got each piece of her wardrobe at the end of each post!

Please visit Elsita’s  etsy shop for her beautiful artistic prints, and her papercutting blog.

Today, I am inspired by Karen Faulkner and her beautiful original artwork!  Karen loves watercolors, simplicity of form, and a touch of the unexpected.

“I strive to make each piece unique, saying as much as I can in just a few brushstrokes.” Don’t you just love that?  Simple is always best.

Please visit Karen’s blog and online shop.

Introducing the Female Photographers of Etsy, a group of extremely talented female photographers who have come together to bring you beautiful artistic photography (just browse the stores linked on the blog).  The images above are merely a sample.  I hope that these images inspire you to think outside of the box – you’ll never look at the world the same again.

I am so pleased to be a member of this group, and I always look forward to the new talent that I find there!
