you're the meaning in my life, you're the inspiration

I am in an artsy mood right now, but I cannot decide on what to make-a collage, some jewelry, photoshop editing-so I decided to share with you what kind of things put me in that crafty mood, and what gets those creative juices flowing...

Thunderstorms. They soothe me, except when it's tornados and such. I absolutley love waking up on a saturday morning to the sound of clashing thunder and pouring rain, knowing that I get to nestle back into bed and go back to sleep, because I have nothing to do that day. Rain inspires me to take pictures of the clouds before and after the storm. The way that everything reflects off of the wet concrete, and the dark sky up against bright green grass makes for great photographs.

The beach. Waves crashing against the sand. Palm trees dancing in the neverending breeze that smells of salt and tanning oil. The sight of a sun setting behind the horizon. Who isn't inspired by that?

Wedding photography. I am a big fat sap when it comes to pictures of a bride and groom, even if I have no clue who they are. I find beauty in pictures that capture such a special day in someone's life. My two favorite wedding photographers are c scott and Richard Ellis. These pictures inspire me to be a wedding planner of some sort. I like seeing the colors, and creative themes that people use. ahh a weddingplanner or photographer-That would be just amazing.

Michael Buble. Can I get a amen? His crooner voice just makes me swoon and I love listening to him whilst I do my crafting in my room, and it's fun to practice harmony with his songs, too. His music is happy and uplifting, and I LOVE that he has the big band sound with some songs, and then others is just a simple, calming piano. I just adore him.

What inspires you?
