Erin over at Treasures Found: Inspiration is Everywhere finds the beauty in the every day. She challenges so many of us to “Enjoy the Day”, which happens to be her signature quote. Always up for a challenge herself, Erin participates in activities such as Random Acts of Kindness to 30 Word blog posts.
Recently Erin began an “Inspired By…” series of challenges. A thought-provoking theme is chosen, then Erin challenges us to create a piece of jewelry inspired by that theme. I missed the first few challenges even though I loved the topics. Lucky me, as Erin extended the deadline for her February “Inspired By…” challenge. This month our inspiration is the Solar System! To read all about how Erin was challenged by the Solar System (you won’t believe what a cool Mom she is!) and to learn more about the challenge, visit here.
“Cosmic Twist”– lampwork by Kim Typanski, annealed steel wire and Swarovski crystals
The deadline for this “Inspired By…” challenge has been extended until February 28th. There’s still time for you to join too!
