Maybe over the holiday? Did you play games with the kids or grands....chase the ball with the dog....or have a tickle fight with someone you love?
I think play is at the core of creativity, and when we play we release all those little "thingys" in our brain that give us inspiration and awesome ideas. Have you noticed?
I'm needing a little play in my life right now, so I thought it would be fun to see what kind of playful things I can find in the design world that make me smile and help me to channel my inner child.

This is just a GREAT post and yes, so fun! For the serious inspiration that I would do in a heartbeat are the chairs and chair back pillows featured in House Beautiful. The pink cowboy boots really had me going, with a good chuckle starting with the sheep :)
