Treasure Friendship

I remember the 2 most important people in my life growing up, were 2 wonderful Best Friends of mine. Chrissy, whom I met in the fourth grade and Emily, whom I met in the fifth. As friends you often share things together, tell each other secrets, hang out together. Maybe even have a sleep over. Of course over the years, you either grow up and move away or maybe even grow apart, making new friends. At some point you might even reconnect with those long lost friends, making life a little sweeter. 15 Years I have known each of my Best Friends. We were the one's in high school, who thought we owned the world.
Sometimes, we email each other, facebook, or even, yes, even hand write a letter from time to time. Catching up and reminiscing about our lives. I love those times. I was inspired to do this plaque and call it Treasure Friendship, because of these 2 very special friends of mine. The plaque says Treasure, Friendship, and other little inspirational saying on the front. Has images of letters, that remind me of all those letters we wrote from elementary through High School.

Treasure the friends that you have, no matter how few.

One Generation

An old Chinese proverb, "One Generation Plants tree's. The next enjoys the shade." I've used this proverb on many book marks, cards, etc. Family is really important to me and I think that in this day and age it should be. Reminiscing with Family you haven't seen in ages about the past and the memories. That was the inspiration behind this Wall Plaque!

I wanted to try something new with the plaques other than using words like Love, Hope, and Believe. Adding a little more inspiration to them. While I was doing this wall plaque I was very much inspired to do a line of cards with the same look as the wall plaques. It's so amazing that just one little project can inspire so many different idea's.

200th Fan Celebration

We aren't exactly near 200 fans yet. But, it's always good to give that fan promotion a little push. And since I am blogging about this celebration, I might just want to cover my tracks a little bit:
"This promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Facebook. You are providing your information to Inspired Creations-Michelle Missal and not to Facebook. The information you provide will only be used for Shipping Purposes."
Okay now that, that is out of the way. Once I hit 200 fans we will have a giveaway. Prizes are as follows:
*$10.00 Gift Certificate to the Inspired Creations Bonanza Store
*A full bottle of Tide Stain Release (which I will never use and don't worry it's still in the bag they shipped it to me in)
*A Love Wood Plaque
*1 Pack of Red and White Polka Dot Ribbon Flowers
and
*1 set of 10 Turkey Tags
That's right there will be 5 lovely winners selected through Random.Org. But, there are some stipulations to this giveaway. No, liking the page just to do the giveaway and then un liking the page. That's not fair to the true fans who have stuck by me since day 1. If you are a winner I will contact you and then post all winners names up in a blog post. If for some odd, strange reason your name is selected and you do not want the prize, please let me know, so that I can re-pick a name for someone who will want it! So, come and join in and be a part of the Inspired Creations 200th celebration at www.facebook.com/InspiredCreationsByMichelle.
And don't forget that there is a sale going on today with coupon code Anniversary for 50% off! Find your Inspiration Today!
