Whenever I get a new purchase on etsy, it gets my creative juices flowing. I’m re-motivated by it. lol
My son is my source of imagination and creativity. I get a lot of interesting ideas when playing with him. Thanks for the giveaway!

I play music and meditate to get inspired!

I put on some great music, dance around and also look around the web a bit.
Oh my gosh! If I won I could splurge and get my husband an ipod touch for his birthday!
I love working with a problem. Ex: I have five hundred carpet samples how am I going to use them? (true story). It’s great to have the internet at your fingertips to look for ideas, but I also love to think about items I need then transform my materials on hand into that item. Of course in the process, I’d crank up the tunes on husband’s ipod touch!

Honestly, talking with other like-minded people really gets me going. I also find a lot of inspiration from books and blogs.

I get the creative juices flowing by writing reading something fiction, even if not for many pages. I just need a few minutes to clear my head from the usual things. Thanks for the giveaway! goodwitchglinda at gmail dot com

Most of my great articles and ideas happen when I am in the shower or putting my kids to bed. I can write a whole article in my head…the problem is remembering when I can actually write it. Thanks for the giveaway!
sarah@theohanamama.com
I get creative by having a brainstorming session with my girlfriends, family, etc. I also have stumbled upon so many great blogs & websites that give me great ideas!

To get the juices flowing I like to crank up the tunes

Some of my best ideas come to me while in the bathtub. That’s why I always keep a pen and notepad beside my bathtub.

Creative ideas come to me by reading, taking a shower, relaxing outside with my family, and in the car.

My inspiration always comes from listening to the “oldies”. They stir your creative juices!
I get my creative juices flowing by listening to music and by eating chocolate!

I get the creative juices flowing based on so many things in life. Sometimes it is the kids, sometimes a song. Lots of things inspire me.

Surfing the web helps me with new ideas
It depends on the season really.
When the weather is warm I like to grab my sketchbook and head out to my hammock where I stare at the clouds and doodle down my ideas. But, the best is in the fall, when I bundle up my son in his stroller, grab a thermos of hot chocolate and go for a long walk until one or both of us can’t wait to create!
How I get my “creative juices” flowing:
1. Talk with my husband.
2. Go for a run.
3. Take a shower.
4. Brainstorm on paper.
Thanks!

I get my creative juices flowing by turning on music! There is something to do with music that gets me going! I love it! Thanks for the opportunity!
This is sad, but I get my creative juices flowing by drinking caffeine. LOTS AND LOTS OF CAFFEINE! (insert maniacal laughter)
