feeling inspired......

as of late I have been feeling a little inspiration. FINALLY! I love owls, i think they are so cool looking & super cute in almost any print. I wish I could just think & draw something as simple & cute as this.

 I have been trying to find a darling costume for my sweet chase. I begged aspen to be an owl with him, but no luck, she still wants to be a mermaid........or was it a butterfly.....oh no I think it changed to a cupcake! man, this little girls knows exactly what she wants, but can't make up her mind. :)

i am in  love with this paint color & any color in it's color wheel. I really want to paint our bedroom this color.

my mom does this every year! it is the perfect face lift for your home for the holidays. looking at this makes me miss working with her & constantly being inspired by her. she is so classy & talented, I admire her & feel inspired from her everyday. check out her blog www.templetesdesign.blogspot.com & or scroll over to my friends & fam links & looks for "ma clawson". She will be updating it hopefully daily, but most likely weekly on her before & afters of her "push & pull" & also projects they are currently working on. She also has a delicious website coming soon. I couldn't get it to paste to my blog, will share soon.




how could I forget this great man. he & those that serve with him in our church constantly inspire me; to be a better mom, servant of the Lord, wife, friend, ward member, neighbor & to be a better me. wow, I feel like that guy that did the skit on snl.........stuart smally. he has this awesome blue cardi sweater ginormous coke bottle glasses, looks in the mirror & tells himself " i am good enough, Im smart enough, & gosh darn it people like me" ok so it has been a while since I have seen that so I know I am missing a lot! & hoping that you all still find it as hilarious as I do, because......it is. I love my Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ & am so grateful to have them & this true gospel in my life. I believe in miracles & am grateful for them everyday, they have truly been an effect in my life.

Your mom is amazing. I looked at her blog and was of course blown away. Of course she helps people creat turrets (am I spelling that like Turretts's syndrome?!) and her design studio is ensconced in Millcreek. Fabulous woman.
