Be Inspired|Get Creative

DIY and Crafts:
A friend introduced me to the Toms arts and crafts blog that displays ways that people got creative with their Toms shoes and flags. Even if you aren't a fan of the brand, it's still got some creative inspiration!

If you want to learn to crochet, the Crafty Minx has a great series of tutorials. Twenty-three lessons in fact. I am a little stuck on lesson 5 right now and need to get my MIL to help!

Maybe this isn't exactly inspiring but you need skills and knowledge to be creative and this article/video on what glue to use for what project can help! (You must click over just to learn the secret way toothpaste can be used as glue.)

Style:
Jessica from What I Wore did a recap of all her outfits from the entire year of 2011, starting with this post about January. Great place for a little style inspiration.

Girl Next Door fashion wrote a great article with ten tips to inspire you to get out of a style slump.

Other:
I found two great blogs, Love Actually and from there the Dating Divas, that have actually really inspired me. Husband and I have been married for 4 1/2 years now and although we have been constantly dating each other, we could use some fresh new ideas. I have found a lot of fun ideas and will be creating some unique dates! Also good ideas for group or family outings (or innings!)

Now, go and create!
