Jeanne King: A Dream Come True
Paper Collage on China Saucer

Yes, Sara, we all have our dreams, and  my dream was  to submit an entry to Inspiration Collaboration every month this year. With this little collage, I’ve done it! Another dream this project fulfilled, one that is ongoing, is to work harder to make my creative ideas come to life. I’ve had this hand-painted saucer for years, and finally did something with it. Thanks for the creative nudge you two have given to all of us!



Julie Brandt: Dad's Peaceful Place
Oil on Canvas
The moonrise from the deck of the family cabin represents my family's love of Lake Bloomington and this little cabin that nestles into the evergreens.  My mom and dad bought this funky cabin in the 70s. They added on to the small space and fixed it up so the growing family could come up and enjoy the lake. My brother and his wife have continued to update and adorn this peaceful spot.  



Helen Eaton: The Merry House
Brick & Wood, 1791 Sq. Ft.
Yep, we have a fixer upper.
Nope, it was never our dream, but we just bought the house next door.
Yeah, it's hard work!
No, we don't know what we're doing; luckily my brother does.
Yes, we're having fun with it.
No, it's nowhere near finished.
We simply walk out our front door and cross the yard, apologize to the deer who've been resting in the strip of woods between the houses, and enter the yard of our fall project. 
For 45 years it was Mary's house. Now we call it The Merry House.

I’ve had many dreams throughout my life. One that just won’t go away is the dream of buying a century old fixer upper home, and  bringing it back to life. A home full of  character, perhaps with a water view, situated on a piece of land surrounded by huge trees. Maybe you love old homes too...or maybe you have your own dreams.
