BRAINDEAD CREATIVE SEEKS RESPITE

Although using luminaries to decorate is not a new concept, it never fails to look festive and beautiful!

I really love it when unconventional colors are used for Christmas wrappings - these are luscious color combinations.

Something about cut paper holds such appeal for me. Aren't these wreaths pretty? Reminds me a bit of Tord Boontje's work.

No mantel for your stockings? Here's a clever solution.
Right-brained me was feeling a little depleted in the creative department. I LOVE what I do, but once in a while, when I've been working a lot, I know I don't have it in me to cook up another creative thing. That's when it's better to just shut off my brain and go look at what someone else has done. That exercise never fails to refresh and inspire me. This time I went to Living, Etc. where I swiped these lovely photos. Where do you go to get inspired creatively?

The same way as you Anne - books, magazines and photographs. It gets exhausting trying to be creative all the time, doesn't it? But the great thing is I never loose the desire to learn more and see more, xv.

Take a breather, have a cup of latte coffee with soy milk. I have tear sheets everywhere (New Years resolution, organize into inspiration files.) Read my new friend's blogs for wonderful ideas!

Man have I been brain dead lately..completely tapped out. I most certainly go to all of the wonderful blogs such as yours to get inspired! I am glad I stopped by today and am reminded of luminaries! I have been wanting to use them up my front walk here for the past 3 yrs since moving in, and always forget! Today..we are experiencing 50 mph wind gusts..so don't think today will be the day for that project!

Love the stocking hanger/branch...very cool!

Happy Sunday Anne!
