THE INSPIRATION BOARD: Spotlight 256 & Bowl Me Over

Hello May and hello friends. May is one of my favorite months. Although we can have May-grey days here in Southern California, the sun always pokes through and the day ends bright and cheerful. With the garden blooming, vegetables growing and longer days to work projects, it’s an inspiring time of year. Need more inspiration? Check out the amazing projects featured from The Inspiration Board below. First up, here’s a little recap of what I’ve been sharing.
