My answer at that moment was: "Ah, Kimberly! I first think of a fellow lensmaster, editionh aka Martin, when I think about "what inspires me!" Martin inspires me through his artful words, artsy lenses, and wonderful art on zazzle. Thanks for asking!"
I've written about The Art of Zazzle -- My Favorite Zazzle Art which is my tribute lens which spotlights the marvelous Martin and his beautiful, artsy and inspirational art on Zazzle. You know that Zazzle has exploded with items. What makes me smile when I think of Martin is that his art is unique, original and inspiring ... he doesn't try to take stock digital art or clipart to sell his stuff. He sells HIMSELF ... all that is original, artsy and unique!
Do you know that Martin has been kind enough to share with me various websites from which he seeks inspiration on a daily basis. And, for that I am most thankful. Thank you Martin!
So this morning I was sitting at my desk in my home office and wondering, "where are those roofers from next door?" The hammering of yesterday had added some interruptions to my thought patterns. Thinking about the hammering and lack of hammering, I started to look around my desk space. There were my articles of inspiration, quite a few of them. "Hmmm," I thought, "I'll take a picture of them and share them with YOU."
Drumroll for my articles of inspiration! Here they are:
So, what have we here? Take a closer look! Some would prod me to make a Squidoo lens, Articles of Inspiration; some might make their own lenses on their articles of inspiration. My prize inspiration is the original artwork "Be not afraid to sing your own song." I truly love that!
I've got a "kick butt" Chinese guy, a motorized Energizer bunny, a mosaic Spanish cat, a Joyful Goebel, a Robert Held confetti art glass heart paperweight, and an "I make a difference" lapel pin. I have several crystal art glass heart paperweights, a "Happiness is a butterfly" inspiration card, two puffed heart crystal candleholders AND a Giant of the Year Award mousepad oh my!
What have you got sitting on your desk that inspires you? I think I need to tell YOU more about all this stuff ... YES?

I love your artwork with the saying "Don't be afraid to sing your own song." I have a piece of artwork on my office wall with a piece of writing that begins "I want to inspire and be inspired." I am inspired by so many things, people, nature, blog posts like this. I believe that to have the ability to be inspired is the key to staying young and happy.
Hi Kim! Thanks for dropping by. YES, I truly love that artwork. I purchased it from Lori Ramotar on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=16606059 -- when I saw it, I knew I had to have it.
Yes, I hear ya! Inspiration comes in many shapes and sizes ... we need to be open to receiving said inspiration and it does keep one's mind and spirit young!
