Lovely thought and photo. It is a nice reminder to give thanks especially as the holidays get busier and busier ;).

I, too, am grateful for the creativity that abounds, found here among wonderful bloggers - beautiful beings - missing from my previous life. Your pictures, your work are among them. Thank you.

P.S., And you're right. Coasters ARE so much fun to make! :)

It totally makes sense. I feel the same way. And thank YOU. :o)

So well written. I feel the same way.
We collected pinecones yesterday, now I'd going to dig the tea lights out from the jar hidden in the cupboard under the sink. If find your blog and photos very inspirational, thanks!

I definitely put you Leslie high on the list of people who inspire me.

Yes, thank you to everyone for this amazing world of creativity!

Lovely post. And lovely photograph of yours too - and a great idea, this combination may well turn up in my house soon!

I agree with Nicole; you always inspire me! And I should have known that it was you who mentioned my giveaway because there is NO WAY I have that many readers. Have a great weekend.

ah, yes, it happens to me too. i love the internet. It is fun to get lost in a little project.
love your photo!

thank YOU leslie...you inspire not only myself, but i am sure tons of other people! and thank you for reminding me that the spirit of giving thanks can last more than a day!

You are someone I am particularly inspired by! I am glad you share what inspires you. :)

Thank you for taking the time, Leslie. I read a variety of blogs and online sites for fun, inspiration, things to think about. Always a pleasure to visit here!

And thank YOU for all the inspiration you provide!

okay I know I have lots of pinecones and tealights...gotta find a container. My job for the weekend! Have a good one Leslie!

I love seeing how creative we all are, though sometimes it just makes me sad. I don't think there are enough hours for all of the creative things I want to do!

it is wonderful to be inspired by so many...

Thanks to you too, for all the inspiration you share. I saw a photo 2 days ago and got the idea on using my wooden platter to display our fall nature collection!

There is so much inspiration out there. Thank you to you too for all the inspiration you've given me. Great photo!

I've always thought your photography skills to impeccable. You seem to put so much thought behind the shots and they are lovely. You're an inspiration too--

I love the way that the internet sparks interest :)

OH my gosh! I do the same thing. I'll have some "thing" I want to place and move it all over before I get it just right. One of my favorite things is arranging shelves and table tops. Come to think of it, that would be a good blog topic. Phot0s of your favorite tablescapes and shelves!! I should ressurect my old blog. It didn't last long. So thank you for sticking with it.

You know, a bright red or lime green felted bowl would be a wonderful container for pinecones after thanksgiving!!

I have those box-basket things! I am so proud to already own something you have... now I just have to go get the pinecones.... I hope I can find ones my dog hasn't peed on...!

Did you know they are rice-measures? I'm not exactly sure who was eating that much rice, but there you have it.

Thank YOU for your beautiful pictures and great ideas!

I hear you on the unexpected inspiration, Leslie! This is another of the joys of the Internet: we can all contribute to creative consciousness that exists apart from us, but that is still most definitely "us".

perfectly stated! and a thanks to you - talented one that you are! happy weekend!

Thank YOU too Leslie! I often find myself 10 deep in blogs and Flickr. 'I'll just click one more link......' is how it goes!

It is a fab photo.

It is wonderful to have so much inspiration at our fingertips. What did we do before the internet/blogs?

Inspiration is a full circle. Thank you Leslie and bloggers!

i feel the same way. thank you, leslie.

so so true, leslie. the amount of creativity out there is staggering, and i love to see how we each inspire one another.

p.s. my grandpa loved his mitts - thank you so much for the pattern. i even modified it a bit to make a smaller pair for my daughter - with my very first cables up the front! perhaps one of these days i'll even knit a cabled skirt :)

I tagged you!

Tanya

And thanks to you too! You're right, it does feel good to know that others are inspired by what you do. :)

And thank you for pointing this out. You are so right! And of course, you're one of my faves for inspiration! ;)

I just love all the inspriring blogs and the people who write them. :)

Oh, isn't giving just the best part of this time of year?

Your pics are wonderful! I find myself wanting to copycat you!

You're right--I can't believe all the great ideas I've found since I started blogging in the spring! It's definitely something to give thnaks for.

Well-said! I totally agree.

ahhhh, inspiration. it is the fuel for creativity. i appreciate other bloggers, and you, who share their ideas as well. it keeps my mind from being idle.
thanks for the reminder to be thankful for these things!
