MOTIVATION/INSPIRATION

So my new friend Claudine over at Good Things, Life of A Martha Stewart Wannabe

recently celebrated her 2nd BLOGAVERSARY. She celebrated the event by holding a contest and the winners who left comments received a Martha Stewart care package provided by Claudine. This is very generous of her, if you have a look at her blog you will see that she has stuck to the Martha rule, "Make it beautiful". Claudine's true motivation (at least from my perception) is Martha Stewart. This got me thinking that I am pretty much the same, you can not walk a few feet in my house without finding something Martha inspired. To prove this point I grabbed my camera and walked from my bedroom to the basement this is what I found....

Coffee Filter Roses

Terrarium

Crocks which house my favorite and most frequently used utensils. 

A Martha Stewart Everyday cake stand that I keep my salt, olive oil, pepper, and balsamic vinegar on. When I first saw this Good Thing I thought it would be weird to have this cake stand sitting out but I love it! It is nice to go to one place whenever I need some any of these items and this cakestand is so beautiful I can not imagine having it sit in a cupboard.

Martha Stewart glitter is the best, the vibrant colors and the fine consistency make them a superior choice for all YOUR GLITTER NEEDS! HAHA! This ribbon holder is beautiful and functional at the same time. I have a few sturdy Martha Stewart Crafts craft punches and a few years worth of Everyday Food Magazine and even more years of Martha Stewart Living Magazine. 

On a trip up the stairs you will find a pressed ostrich fern leaf, yes it is Martha inspired

This Wells Family Tree was created using all Martha Stewart Crafts (one of the twigs came loose I really need to fix that, maybe when this semester is over).

You will always find a pile of Martha Stewart publications at our house!

My staghorn fern, yes just like the one that Martha demonstrated how to mount on The Martha Stewart Show

And last but not least you will find the Faux Chocolate Bunnies, on my mantle waiting for their coat of "chocolate" paint.

So I can be seen as a bit of a fanatic, but I have found that Martha Stewart has an idea that everyone can find useful. The tips, recipes, and information found on her website, magazines, books, videos, television programs is sure to inspire just about anyone.
