Motivation Monday - Cake Pops

Things that inspire me, color combinations I love, the music that rocks my studio and 

anything else that makes me want to jump up and make a bead!

What's motivating me today?  I don't know yet, but I better find something!  Whenever I'm stuck for ideas, I head over to pintrest. It's really a great place for inspiration! Maybe I'll try these?

And I think the music will be old school today:

Thanks for stopping by and stay motivated!

And Purple or Pink beaded bracelets with shell hearts, letters spelling Hope, and a silver hope/ribbon charm  $5.00

If you would like to make a donation and help me reach my goal please leave a comment here, send me an email, contact me on Facebook or through Etsy and tell me which item or items you would like and I will send you a Paypal invoice.  Shipping is included and every penny raised will go directly to Relay for Life.
