Sometimes I find it rather overwhelming keeping up with all of the blogs I read. Using a blog subscription service, like Google Reader, has seriously changed my life. What would I do without it? I have my favorite blogs organized into categories and catch up with them when I have some free time.  Another great thing about Google Reader is that I can share my favorite blog posts from around the blogosphere with friends like you.

It works like this…  When I'm paroosing my favorite blogs on Google Reader and come across a super inspiring post, I click the share button.  Then those posts are added to my shared stream.  You can follow my shared stream if you have Google Reader.  And if you don't…?  Well, what are you waiting for, silly?  It's my favorite way to stay up to date on my favorite blogs… and, of course, a great way to become further addicted to the blog world.  Here are some images from the latest and greatest posts I've seen out there in blogland…

I'm so charmed by Kris's super adorable illustrations. And… they're done on kraft. Super fun, ja? (I also just adore her wry sense of humor.) See more here.

The internet is such a place of inspiration for me, as I'm sure it is for you.  When I began this blog, it was meant to be a place to share my scrapbooking projects and bits of my life.  It's transformed through the past two years into something more.  I used to make a conscious decision not to share inspiration or images that didn't come from my own brain or my own hands.  But lately, I've been wanting to share more.  My new vision for this blog is to share parts of my own life as well as things that pour inspiration into it.  That could be anything from home interiors or scrapbooking, to fashion or crafting, or to photography or art.

So the question I come to is this… What do you want to see when you come to visit this blog?  What inspires you the most?
