i am inspired...

by shoes. ok so besides collection scrapbooking supplies and hello kitty and japanese stationery, i also have a passion for SHOES. but no stilettos for me (bad ankles) although i do have a couple of pairs of shoes call "roach killers" as affectionately dubbed by some guys i worked with (they are pointy in the front and skinny heel - the guys claimed i could corner a roach and stomp it with either end).

but my faves (besides my running shoes) are shoes like these! ahh, the color and the low heel appeal to me so much. i have some pairs similar to this but in hot pink and turquoise blue but not GREEN yet! maybe it is the color of life and spring but i am inspired by these shoes. i think i might have to make a green layout today. but the point is to be inspired by the things around you. that is how creativity begins. creativity is also like training for a marathon - you have to practice and keep at it. that is how you get to the state of creative karma. and you have to accept there are good days and bad days and the mojo ebbs and flows...

...on a side note, i got this pic from the J Crew website - i wonder if someone wore these shoes b/c the soles inside are all bent.
