Giveaways aren't all I have to share with you today. I also have a fun idea to share with you that was inspired by Art Lab for Kids: 52 Creative Adventures in Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Paper, and Mixed Media-For Budding Artists of All Ages.

I have a stash of gift boxes. Some have logos on them some are plain. Can I tell you how easy and quick it was to dress up (wrap) these gift boxes with the Duck Tape? I did it Hollywood wrapping style by just applying the Duck Tape to the lids. I am also contemplating making this an advent callender. I just need to round up a few more boxes and #s.

Good luck and we'll see you back here on the runway! Oh sorry, that's Project Runway.....

Q: Where is your favorite place for creative inspiration on-line?
A: Pinterest, hands down!

[jennifer willis]

I guess my go to spot right now is pinterest. But usually I just use my search box and enter what I want to find and lots come up to browse through...just call me old school.

love that book, put it on my wishlist, it will be great to inspire my little budding artists!

[anna s]

I love looking at blogs and websites to get ideas. My fav's are one pretty thing and craft gossip because they give me lots of ideas. I also subscribe to a few other blogs.

[Liz]

My Craft Gawker App!

[Tabitha]

I really like individual blogs for inspiration.

[Sue H]

[Tabitha]

I like your fb page and I left a holiday greeting as Tabitha Swain Klucking

[Donna O'Neil]

I check out linky parties on blogs like Tater Tots & Jello or look on Pinterest.

[Donna O'Neil]

I said Happy Holidays on FB

[Crunchy]

I like to check out lots of blogs, they're all so diverse and personal and I get great ideas and inspiration. I can't really pick just one as a favorite!

[Lauren aka Giddy99]

I love the blogs, and honestly, Craft Gossip is the best (someone is already "screening" and finding the projects for me! :)

[trillium]

I like my Facebook home news feed page for inspiration, and I read other craft, knitting, and stiching blogs for inspiration as well.

[Bonney]

I can spend hours on Pinterest but I also love Ravelry. I read a lot of blogs, mostly knitting but also lots of blogs that talk about paper crafting.

[RaDonna Murner]

I love Craft Gawker, Pinterest, and individual blogs. There are so many I check each day, it's hard to name one.

I'm a knitter so my favorite site for inspiration is Ravelry.

[Paula R]

My favorite place for crafting inspiration in Craft Gossip!

[Laura]

Oh my gosh! Decisions, decisions! Depending on how much time I have to create, and the supplies I have on hand- lately most inspiration comes from Pinterest.

[Regina]

I like craftgossip.com - though I am primarily a quilter, I dabble in other areas and love the variety that they feed me on a daily basis - a steady diet of "eye candy" and ideas!

[Sarah Tutt]

Looks like a lot of fun! Love duct tape projects!:))

[Leilani]

I usually get my inspiration from pinterest and random blogs. I am an embroiderer, so often I get ideas at Urban Threads or feeling stitchy.

[Knittingdancer on Ravelry]

I check out Craft Gossip each day for idess.

[Elisha]

I love Pinterest for crafty inspiration!

[Barbara Hagerty]

I love Pinterest, but I think that my favorite place online for inspiration is youtube. A lot of artists, illustrators, and graphic designers have put galleries of their work on youtube, and I love the documentaries some of them have made, too.

[Cheryl Higgins]

Yes I get more inspiration from Pinterest than any other place.
