Lovin' the inspiration wednesday video! The countdown to school is on here (6 more days) for all of us:)
I just bought a new pair of boxing gloves myself to work out on our hanging bag downstairs. Do you follow a plan or just punch it to tunes?

Thanks, Donna!

I am surprised everytime time again, about how easily you make the most beautifull pages with the littlest supplies and efforts!
It makes me want to drive home immediately and do a page myself...Unfortunately I have another 7 1/2 hours of work ahead :-(
Thank you - Irma

I love your inspiration wednesday's but, although I don't think I'm gonna be able to do such a nice page, I want to try it this time. Donna, could you tell me what kind of paper do you use?
Thanks a lot. Regards from Spain!

[Jen]

Oh, yeah - I've been meaning to ask you that too, Donna. Do you use textured cardstock in your own inspiration journals?? Because I've noticed a couple times when you were painting, that it almost looked like canvas, so textured c/s was the only thing I could think of. And if so, are the refill/inserts we can purchase in the shop made with textured c/s, or just the regular smooth stuff we got in the ones from the workshop? Thinking I may have to go buy some textured stuff and cut it up and add it to my Inspiration Journal myself, b/c I really like the look of that better. Hmm...

this is my favorite by far, THANKS for sharing Donna!

[Shelley Overholt]

Looks gorgeous and sweet kiddos!

Thank you so much for the inspiration. I totally loved this page, I think because it included a photo, I'm not sure but this page by far has been my favorite and the ideas you have inspired in me is wonderful, headed to my crafting area now hopefully to create a meaningful page of memories!

Hi Donna
brilliant page, it really has made me want to do a page with a photograph in my book. This morning I went out for a drive and at a local craft store I found the winsor and newton large water colour set. I know on an archive page I saw you had bought one from here in England and thought that maybe the lady was selling them cheap, but that seems to be the price here. I spent £24.95 on the one I bought today.
Really enjoy reading your blog everyday.
Thank YOu
