Be Inspired #176

Hi Everyone and Welcome to 
Be Inspired
Do you have big plans for Valentine's Day?
How fun to have it land on a Friday, for all of you "date night" peeps. We eat out several times over the weekend, so I imagine we'll do our regular Friday Night, "Movie Night" with some take out Indian Food. Movie Night consists of a Netflix choice and after dinner a large gray cat camping out on my lap for the duration. Miss Wrigley prefers something quiet and romantic, as she hates car chases and loud explosions. However you spend your evening, just let it be with the ones you love!

OK, on to the party. 
Let's check out some of the wonderful links from last week:


The always amazingly creative, Julia, from Vintage With Laces
made this wonderful Junky LOVE Sign




Leave a love note for your sweetie, with these Mini Love Letters
from Kerryanne at Shabby Art Boutique



This Secretary ReDeux started out needing all kinds of help.
The perfect challenge for Karen from Redoux Interiors.



How wonderful are these Personalized Grain Sack Cards?
from Lori at Marvin's Daughters
I'm hoping she'll do special orders!



Laurie from Heaven's Walk found that her fabric stash was taking over her studio.
So she created this Vintage Blue Cabinet, which looks like a real vintage piece.



These are a great project; DIY Column Pedestals 
from Poppy at With a Dash of Color.



Need a special Valentine breakfast? 
Whip up a batch of these yummy Scones and Jam 
from Jeanette at Creating a Life


thanks gals for sharing the inspiration!
