What did I do now?

Did I just commit to a year of blogging?  and a year of design challenges?  What was I thinking?

GASP!

I know what I was thinking, a way to improve my skills, spark creativity and rising to the challenge!  Although I was thinking of doing something before we talked, Donna helped me define the parameters. She really knows how to push me...I think it's one of her favorite past times.

I was originally inspired when I went to lunch with my son at Cracker Barrel. I love to peruse their candy display (yes, I'm a sugar junkie!).  That day I  found Divinity. It's one of my all time faves and was a Christmas tradition at Grandma's.  She made it herself and it was heavenly!! Although this divinity wasn't as good as Grandma's, it inspired me and brought back lots of great memories.  And it inspired me to take a look around to see where I could find inspiration.

And that led to deciding to be more proactive in seeking out inspiration, then figuring out how to make use of it....then along come's Donna with her challenge!

A side note about Grandma: I'm sure my creative genes came from her...she (and her sister, Aunt Jessie) could make anything out of anything!
