my eyes have been opened...

i have discovered the world of craft blogs and forums. i am not living up to my creative potential, i need to have 24 hours a day to create and craft. that would be the life.
the crafting blogs i have found are INCREDIBLE! and what some moms do to keep their children entertained and even to educate them astounds me.
here are some of the things that have inspired me to be more creative, especially as a mom:
