Daisy Yellow Inspiration Charms

Amy of the Creative Mom podcast, once again, pointed me to another creative blog, Daisy Yellow. It took me a few days to get over there and when I finally did, I was thrilled to see her inspirational word charms project. My mind started to whirl around with ideas for adding little messages to quilts and, perhaps, the Teacher Pillows. I was looking at Diana Swim Wessel’s Inspiration Odyssey book the other day and the little doodles she has in it would also be great in place of words.

I don’t have any Shrinky Dink material, but can easily get some. I’ll put it on my craft supply list.
