One of my new favorite blogs is Design For Mankind. They have a category called “Roadmaps: A Guide to Creative Pursuit” which is very helpful. It includes not only inspiration, but also has advice and information to give readers the motivation to live out their dreams. So much fun!

My obsession today is checking out www.quamut.com, a site that is “the go to how to”. It gives you professionally written how-tos on all kinds of things.

I had seen little ads for www.flip.com, but had never checked it out until today. It is so unique and inspiring! You can make your own flipbook or just look at others. A flipbook is a slide show scrapbook, and you can even add music to your flipbook. It seems like [...]
