Goodie Bag #159 - Are you in need of inspiration? (1/17/2012)
From Editrix Jenni: This time of year, I always get a little bummed out. The winter holidays are over, I'm taking down my Christmas tree, the streets are a gray, slushy mess...and I feel kind of uninspired. So this year, instead of being OK with that, I spent some time thinking of things that inspire me - and I'm sharing them with you. I hope it gets you all fired up! (Right: a bunch of colorful bracelets to inspire you!)
