…the taste of snowflakes…

Today I was inspired by homemade wrapping paper.

Today I was inspired by an older couple probably in their sixties who gave a homeless runaway kid a carton of milk and a bag of peanut M&Ms . Every time I end up losing faith in humanity someone like that proves my accusations of our race wrong. To that old couple where ever you may be for the holidays YOU ARE AWESOME!!

My friend’s beautiful christmas decorations inspired me to step up my game and buy some more decorations from Target.

as always i’m inspired by the things i see on notcot

I was inspired today by the beautiful yellows and reds of the autumn in Dallas. We’re having a beautiful late fall!

I ran into a friend of mine who’s not only going on 15 months of sobriety, but is also finishing her degree, raising two children, working a full-time job, and dedicating herself to lose weight by working out 3 times a week.I was truly inspired to see her turn her life around so swiftly, and found myself gazing in the mirror afterwards. Truly motivating..

Today, I was feeling extremely down. My mom and sister are abroad helping my aunt who is dying from brain tumors, she is only 42. They have been gone for a month already and will be gone until March. This is will be the first Christmas without them. As i sat watching TV today with my dad, A Christmas Story came on. In that moment I considered myself lucky enough to be with my father, healthy, and to be loved by my family no matter where they are. The holidays are about family and love, that in itself is inspiring. Happy Holidays everyone.

my friend Joel cause his awesome!

I’ve just woken up at 6pm, after working a 14 hr shift, till 8am, and could use some inspiration

today i was inspired by water droplets on my windshield from the wintery mix we had last night. the droplets had frozen into ice and made me rethink its appearance! things got even better after i scraped it off and had to use my wiper fluid to clean up my windshield as i was driving, because it made liquid rivers running through ice droplet fields on my side windows!

Today I was inspired by my grandparents. They are visiting and I always enjoy our conversations about life and their past. Today my grandfather was discussing WWII and it inspired me to ask more questions to people who have more history in their lives. I have learned so much about what my Grandparents experienced in their lives and it has inspired me to get out and do things so I never regret not living my life fully.

I was inspired by the song “Tonight, Tonight” by Smashing Pumpkins. Not sure why, the song was running through my head when I woke up, gave it a listen thrice through and it has been a productive day so far!

Darkness inspired me today. Its been too long since I lay in the dark during the day and just thought.

I’m inspired by the birds that chirp outside my window, the clouds that’s shape like a dinosaur or a submarine, the shadows cast on a wall, the corny jokes my friends make that - nonetheless, make me laugh, and the innocent smiles friends and strangers give me. These simple things inspired me today to live my life more fully.

today my inspiration is snow! everything is so silent and beautiful outside!

I’m a huge fan of Baxter of California and an instructor working with special needs students. The biggest inspiration today was seeing one of our 2nd grade students wrestle with ADD and pass her test with flying colors. Simply awesome!

You know not to sound artificial at all, but your website www.notcot.org inspires me everyday as I get new and different ideas just reading through all the different links to what other artists from around the world are doing.

Notcot of course. It’s my daily dose of inspiration.

My free spirited daughter inspired me today. She is such a joy.

Was inspired to work even harder today after seeing my name in the paper about a recent accomplishment. And what better for an accomplished guy than accomplished shaving gear :)? (cocky, yes. true, yes.)

I reread some of my favourite parts of Angels in America today, and I was nothing short of inspired. The messages of strength, hope and rebirth are still meaningful today, and re-imagining the production I saw a few weeks ago brought back all of the emotions that came with it. In Mr. Kushner’s words, “The great work begins.”

I would have to say wearing my first poncho of the season. I got it over the summer when I went to Ecuador for a wedding. Just thinking about when I found it in that beautiful sunny day made walking through the cold streets of New York more inspiring.

My niece and nephew, quite happily, played together. They went on an imaginary camping trip after building a campsite out of blankets, couch cushions, and two cabinets of cookware. It inspired me to be a parent…someday.

So I started using webs to make a website but kind of gave up on it because I don’t have the freedom to do exactly what I want to do. But your website is great and now I want to finish mine! Thanks!

My workmates inspire me every day. Seeing what they do with my designs, and the designs they give me to put my own spin on - collaboration is the almost always the key.

..by Aron Ralston’s story. ouch.

I’ve actually been inspired by a lot lately. I’m so into the Inception iPhone app just morphing my word that I’ve been thinking of designs that go along with the moods of the game. I’ve also been obsessive with writing again, trying to observe my world in more dramatic ways. I blame it on falling in love with life again.

Today I was inspired by my lecturer. He lectured about technology and creativity, and emphasized how much of the art of creativity and design has been affected by computers. It really made me want to go back to doing more work by hand…

I like the packaging

it’s still early in the morning, inspiration has been found thus far in a double espresso…

Today I was inspired by the sight of octopus tentacles.

Inspired by the smell of cookies to bake even more cookies!

Shopping this time of year is crazy! Malls packed with people pushing others around to buy this and that. I was waiting in line to pay for a gift and a little kid was crying in front of me uncontrollably. I was getting a little impatient and another kid (probably 5 or 6) left his mom’s side and walked up to the crying kid and offered him his blanky?! Cutest thing I’ve seen in a while. Maybe ever!

I want …… my house smells like cat

This morning I checked whether the mailing address for a friend was correct. It wasn’t. In getting the correct one, we began to catch up. Inspired to actually schedule a Skype date and talk. Something that has become all too rare for us.

Scotch. Scotch helped.

Today I was inspired by my simple cup of tea. The whole process is meditative for me.

While in a taxi coming home from a flight, my driver was telling me about his life in trinidad and that it really doesn’t take that much for him to be satisfied in his country.

My writing partner’s baby. Easiest audience ever. Very inspiring.

Electrical Transformers.

candles make my day better and my dog smell less.

Nature and the weather.

Last year, a first grader at my son’s school asked her mom, “where do the homeless people go in the winter?” When she learned that they don’t have a home to go home to, she decided, on her own, to pull all of thier extra blanket from her closets to donate to the homeless.
This year she has continued the effort by asking everyone at her school to bring in any extra blanket. To count, this little second grader has collected over 100 Blankets to donate.

I just read an article about Prince getting an all gold Fender Stratocaster for his upcoming “Welcome 2 America” performances. It will be auctioned off after his East Coast dates, with proceeds benefiting the Harlem Children’s Zone, a community organization that serves more than 17,000 children. What better excuse to get an all gold guitar….doing it for the kids! Now that’s inspirational!

I’m inspired by my blogroll daily and the same is true today!

The amount of snow we got today inspired me to go home early!

What’s inspired me today is my continuous appreciation for friends and their willingness to love, learn, listen, laugh, and live life. It’s a constant inspiration to be influenced in a positive way by those that surround me who are creative, and passionate about art, music, culture, and travel.

I am routinely inspired by the photos in Notcot.org for design inspiration, as well as gifting ideas for the hard to buy people

Inspiration in the form of seeing someone chase after an elderly ladies hat that blew off her in the high winds outside! Got to catch up on my good deeds.

i looked out my office window and saw a plane rising in the sky, for a brief moment I was inspired by how truly magical it seems that we can launch ourselves into the air in a big metal bird.

my husbands cousin who found a cold lonely greyhound dog wandering outside and captured it to warm up in his truck, secretly hoping that he keeps it

I was just inspired by a delicious ramen lunch. Ready for the best day ever.

My two male roommates inspired me today.
They have such a lax approach to the world that they keep my high-stress levels in check and let me know when I need to relax. (especially around final exams)

These are the coolest. I love the packaging!

looking at my kids pictures

Liqurious has me inspired to get a nice home bar put together… maybe take some mixology courses.

The snow has inspired me to paint my office white so my framed pics will stand out more. Baxter is great stuff. would love to win this!

I was inspired today by the colors of my two black dashounds sitting in the green grass.

The warmth of a colleague as he congratulated someone else for getting a job that he wanted - truly an amazing guy (to whom the box should be given).

today i got inspired looking at my future son’s room thinking that i will get the best Christmas gift ever!, he’s due this January!!

Today I was inspired by the woman who, writing out a donation check, made it for $1000 instead of $20 (For $20 you get to take an ornament from the tree in the lobby). You can only give a grand if you have it, obviously… but it isn’t that often that people even give $20.

The cold, foggy weather today has made it finally feel like the holidays and has inspired me to make some holiday treats for my office.

the chocolate donut in the breakroom

Listening to Aaliyah on a muggy day in Socal has been very inspiring.. Love the site : )

My wife and kids inspired me today.

Something that inspired me today was when I was at bible study this morning. The pastor was explaining how the winter solstice in North America is on December 21st—just 4 days before Christmas. (The winter solstice is the peak day of darkness. It is the day of the year when there is the most night.) Isn’t it “ironic” how the season of lights is also when there is the longest period of darkness? He reminded us to think about that and think about Jesus whenever we see a light. :]

Inspiration: Went out for an early run and came across a group of carolers from the senior home. Definitely put a smile on my face!

I’ve been very inspired by looking through http://dribbble.com/ today. So much great work.

the little monster finger puppets in my desk… great colors to use in the interiors of a building…

this is pretty sick , I still wish I would have got one of their all black 45th anniversary razors… thats a sweet piece

I love BaxterOC. The brand and the product are both top notch and they have a great little style guide and grooming wisdom on their site. Lately I’ve been reading a book titled “79 Short Essays on Design” by on of my favorite designers and idols Michael Beruit. The passages and wisdom are so great and the storytelling in the book is top notch. It’s a very motivating and inspiring book. It’s definitely put some spring in my productive step.
