A Spark of Imagination

I'm taking a cue from the Handmade Philly blog. I love their recent post for finding inspiration. So, I'm going to post a similar challenge here.

Visit the Imagination Prompt. Copy the prompt and do as it suggests in the comment section below. The challenge is to respond to the first prompt that you are given, really push yourself. But, if you don’t like the first prompt, click next to generate a new prompt.

Name three things I am grateful for… loved ones who understand and respect me, quiet moments to write, and my kids who have made me a better (and happier) person.

By adding your inspiration below, you are in the running to win a 12-inch yarn wreath created just for you by me. You let me know the colors that you'd like, and I'll design a wreath especially for you. This giveaway will close on Friday, March 18th at 5pm EST. The winner will be announced soon after.

So, inspire us!

Some examples of wreaths I've created:

This giveaway is open to U.S. residents only. One entry per person. Be sure to comment using a name and/or email address. Winner will be announced on 3/18 on this blog, and via Twitter and the Babee Crafts Facebook page.

  1. I got an easy one:

    Describe the perfect summer day. What would you do on that day?

    The perfect summer day to me is about 70 degrees with a light breeze. Laying back on a hammock with a good book. The sun is warming my face while the breeze gently sways me back and forth. I can hear the birds chirping and the squirrels playing. There is no one in this moment but me and my book.

  3. Do you ever think about growing old?

    I do actually!
    I am 22 years old and this may sound silly, but I am not at all afraid of reaching retirement age! In fact Im excited! I imagine myself a little old lady with a tiny garden and about 10 cats. Ill be OCD on cleaning ( i hope by then that kicks in...)
    and I will go yardsaling every weekend. Haha.

    I dont think its bad getting older as long as you learn something new every year... gotta make it count, you know?

    These wreaths are awesome! Would love a chance to win one!! I have a red door, i think the one picture at the bottom may would look good with it.

  4. Describe a 'sound' from your childhood. What was it? When did you hear it? What does it bring to mind?

    I remember the sound of the ice cream truck that visited our neighborhood every weekend! It reminds me of the HOT Miami summers and how good that cold ice cream felt in my throat. It was such a treat whenever my parents would say "yes!". We could always hear it coming a mile away and the neighborhood kids would all run outside squealing in anticipation. We would all crowd around the truck, giddy with excitement, and stare at the selections on the wall trying to decide what we were going to choose. Funny thing was that they were the same treats that my parents would sometimes buy at the grocery store but there was just something wonderful about getting it from the ice cream truck!! It just tasted better! Oh to be a child again without a care in the world!

    Thanks for the great giveaway! I've been wanting a yarn wreath to hang on the set of pale blue farmhouse shutters sitting over my mantle! This would be perfect! Fingers crossed :)

  5. My favorite time of the day...

    ... is when I get home after a long day at work. It's time I have to myself before my fiance comes home, time to get things/phone calls done. I love that *I* can decide what I want to do or if I just want to veg on the couch. It's nice to have that downtime when you're not worried about anyone but yourself.

  8. Look out the window. Write about what you see.

    When I look out the front window I see: a tiny patch of snow, some daffodils shoots starting to emerge, birds at the feeder, and the bright sunshine.

  13. The first time you drove a car, what was it like?

    Hahaha! Of all the prompts for me to get! I have never driven a car, which often shocks people (I'm no youngster). My husband drives me to work, and I walk most of the places I go, such as the farmer's market in my neighborhood.

  20. What keeps me going?

    That's an easy one.

    No matter how hard my life gets, and hard is an understatement at this point, all I have to do is look at the most important part of my life:

    My son, Soren. He's 17 months old, and he saves my life and sanity everytime he smiles, strokes my face while nursing, and snuggles up in bed with us.

  21. Did you have a favorite subject in school? One you dreaded?

    I absolutely LOVED math :) I found it fun and challenging. I really dreaded English up until 10th grade. I was never a strong writer, but my 10th grade English teacher really worked with me and taught me properly and now I feel I'm a pretty good writer :)

  22. What is your legacy?

    I look at my legacy each morning when I see the smiles on my boys faces. I see my son trying to walk and my older son stringing sentences together. I see how they care for each other and makes me hope that I taught them to be kind men when they grow up. smfriel2 -at-gmail (dot) com

  25. Describe a childhood birthday party:

    I can remember my whole family attending this birthday party that a bunch of my friends came to. We all went roller skating at a park outside. I recall my brother having to carry all my friends shoes as we raced to get our roller skates on!

  26. Describe your first home as a young couple: Very small 2 bdrm with kitchen/living rm/dining all in one space. The water heater was in the bathroom and we had old jalacy windows that didn't shut all the way. There was no heat and one a/c wall unit in the kitchen, so we put plastic on the windows to help keep the temp regulated. No washer/dryer. It was not the best looking house, but it was wonderful. We did our best to make it nice even though we had no money. We painted the walls fun colors and had all hand-me-down stuff. I loved that house!
