Inspired Artist: James Merrell

I spotted a gorgeous roundup of James Merrell's photographic work over on the lovely Ripaus Inkivaaria blog, and just had to share his talent here.  I'd love a home that looks as comfortably lived in as these.  Mine is more a model of (what I like to call) "organized chaos."  I know where everything is, but it might not look like much more than random piles of stuff to anyone else but me.  Does this sounds like your space?  How do you manage to keep track of everything and create a beautiful home around it?  Share your tips here.  I'd love to know!

Inspired Artist: Taki Bibelas

Hello lovely Lovelies!  How was your weekend?  Can you believe it's August already!
My daughter and I spent some time at the local pool, baked and ate way too many cookies, and spent the rest of the time attempting to avoid the 100+ degree weather outside.  Thanks for coming by today!  I'm excited to share a couple of fun things with you all this week:

• Tomorrow there will be a new freebie for download!
• I've finally begun working on the Art and Crafty Blog Link Gallery (not even close to complete) but you can check out my progress so far (in the left hand column).  I'll be adding to it slowly but surely, so if you don't see your link up just yet... not to worry.

But for now... the gorgeous photographic work of Taki Bibelas has my heart all in a flutter.  To see much more, click here.
