I’m introducing a new series today: Lost In Thoughts. Each Thursday, for 8 weeks, I will feature songs, colors, designs, and anything else that is making me feel creative or is getting the wheels of my brain turning. I generally use this blog to share what I’m working on and my new products, but this series will give you a better look at the girl behind Everything Little Miss!

I actually have a bag of wrapping paper. I saw this some time ago, and my own bag is a recent development. I just rediscovered this photo, so it was probably a subconcious descision on my part. I use my wrapping paper to line envelopes for Everything Little Miss. And for gifts, of course! Do you have a basket or bag of paper? How about ribbons or buttons? (Yes, I have those too.)

Emma is my sister, and she loves to take pictures. This one is my favorite and I think about it often. I love the angles and the vibrant red. She looks at things differently than I do, and it always good to see things from another perspective. Is there somebody in your life who looks at things differently? Is that frustrating or inspiring? Maybe both?

This animated short is so sweet that I come back to it again and again. I love the beautifully simple animation and endearing storyline. Excellent use of color and sound effects, as well. I’m so glad this is available on YouTube!
I look forward to your comments and ideas about Lost In Thoughts, so don’t be shy. Also, if you’re looking for more, there’s a great post on A Beautiful Ripple Effect about different sources of inspiration.
