MakeSomething365 - Day31: Inspiring Friends and Inspiring Friends!

It's really cool to think that I may be inspiring someone by doing my 365 project. Especially since it's difficult to find purpose in life when you've had the kind of last 2 months I've had. But, I know it's there.

Besides all of that, it's nice to not just have one friend who inspires me daily... but a whole LOAD of friends who inspire me. Even with just one kind word or encouraging sentence about my crafting, I become greatly lifted.

Tonight, Chad and I spent time with Justin and Rachel at their lovely home and I sat and worked on my jewelry while we chatted (and then, eventually watched The Bachelor - in turn, chatting during commercials). It really helped lift my broken spirit. More than they know.

Moving on...

I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to crafting. And I like hearing ideas and about what people like. People who don't MAKE jewelry are still usually people who WEAR jewelry. So, it's always a good idea to keep an open ear to people's thoughts on the matter.

Ultimately, Justin and Rachel lent a helping thought to my jewelry making tonight and I really love what was produced from it all. (Especially since I got *5* pieces done tonight!)

I'm only showing 3 of the pieces. But, I hope they are enjoyed. :)

I'm so glad to be inspiring friends in the same way that I'm glad to have inspiring friends!
