Finding creative inspiration from Katie and the internet - gotta go create!

Beading with the girl scouts this week got me energized to pull out my beads and create! For further inspiration I also checked out my creative girlfriend Katie Hacker's site. Katie has written more than 15 books on beading, writes tons of articles and also 'stars' on the PBS show Beads, Baubles & Jewels. Her blog follows her creative life with her precious daughter Lily, her travels for fun and work, her crafting adventures, etc. A visit to her site is like a visit with Katie - always fun!

Did you know that you can watch segments from that show and other creative shows the Internet? HowToTVOnline.com has beading, kids crafts, scrapbooking and cake decorating videos - so you get to pick what show you want to watch on your own schedule. You can see lots of Katie on this site - check it out! (I always learn so much from these shows!)

Now, it is off to create! What fun projects are YOU working on? Where do you get your inspiration??
