I think I can I think I can

Today feels like I am pushing a rock up hill. I have been working on the non-creative side of my business aspiration and it takes a lot longer to see results. I know I have made a big design decision for my website and it is a good thing. It does however effect a lot of work I have done previously. So much for doing things in the best order. Live and learn.

Scrapbook Expo = Inspiration Overflow

 I have been scrapbooking for almost 17 year now and last weekend I went to my first ever Scrapbook Expo. It turned into an amazing girls day with my Mom,  sister-in-law, niece and daughter. Since it was St. Patricks  Day I was inspired to create something with green in it for each of us to wear. Inspired by a simple yet beautiful flower my daughter made that was on the gift bag my husband used for my Valentines Day gift and the shape of the clover I created paper flower hair clips. To my surprise they not only kept us from getting pinched but received tons of compliments. The show was super fun and filled my head to overflowing with more ideas for my business aspiration. I have so many ideas I have had to make some lists so I don't get off track with my current designs. The exposure was also educational and gave me a huge resource for my website store front that will fit my business perfectly.  Of course I think our top favorite booth was Sparkle N Sprinkle. My first purchase of glitter of course I had to add some glimmer to those flowers when I got home.  I couldn't resist making a few more to place around my office. They just make me smile and keep on working way.  I decided to start a galleries using Flickr and Pinterest.  You can find them on Flickr at  www.flickr.com/photos/Suzannegrippi or follow me on Pinterest at pinterest.com/grippisgirl
