I've shared work with you from time to time that I find inspiring, that I connect to and delight in looking at over and over. It's no secret that I am a huge fan of the Goddess Nancy Baumiller - fan of her, and fan of her work. (Notice that I said Goddess, Nancy!) She has become one of my many close never-met-in-person friends. She and I get each other, we embrace each other, imperfections and all. We boost each other up and cheer each other on. I think it's safe to say, we both feel like we're a high functioning mess, if that makes sense. We're often the peanut gallery in the back having our own version of everyone else's neat and tidy lives.
Not long ago, Nancy made this beautiful journal page and I begged her for it. You can really only beg from people you love . . . not many of us have the guts to beg from just anyone. And, lo and behold, look what showed up in my mail recently . . .

In this blog post, Nancy shares some places she gathers inspiration. Of course, I became an instant fan as well.
Many of you know that Nancy is a designer at DeviantScrap too. Her images remain one of my go to sources when I am making my own work. Though it never turns out this way, I often use Nancy's work as a reference source to a piece when I start out. I find so much inspiration in even the smallest of details in her work. But it's good that my work inevitably turns out to look like I made it and not Nancy. I want her work to remain my inspiration . . . the carrot held out in front on a string to keep me moving forward. You can find Nancy's delicious shoppe of image kits here.
Speaking of inspiration, have you downloaded this month's The Deviant Muse zine? It's free and full of goodies you won't want to miss! Just click on the picture below to get your free copy.
Thank you . . . to all who visited the shoppe during the big 40% off sale last weekend! It was a great success. And *waving you over closer* . . . psst . . . . *whispering* . . . . there's another one coming soon! Yes, November is a great month to stock up on images. You won't want to miss the Black Friday sale November 23-27. More information coming soon!
Prize anyone?
I think it's time for another prize . . . how'd you like a chance to win my next kit for FREE? All you have to do is leave a comment on this post by Saturday, November 12th and you'll be entered to win. The kit will be released in the next 10 days or so, but if you win, you will get my kit before it's released to the public.
