New Blog Welcome



WELCOME TO INSPIRED ME 411! 
LET THE RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY BEGIN!!!!


My name is Kelly Roberts of K. Simone Designs (more about me here) and I am excited to present my NEW blog, Inspired Me 411.  Earlier this year, I started working on this site and it feels so good to finally be able to present it to you. Check out the facts below.

BLOG FACTS

WHAT: Inspired Me 411 is a free directory of arts and crafts resources. This blog is a personal collection of information I have come across and/or used in my creative journey. It is organized with lists in the following categories: General Crafts, Papercrafts, Art & Art Journaling, Fiber Arts, Mind & Body, and Organizations & Events. More websites will be added over time. Also, there will be blog posts featuring interesting articles, tools and people.

 WHO:This site is for new and experienced makers who would like to find more resources for their crafts.

 WHEN: Starting TODAY!

 WHERE: Right here!

 WHY: In 2020, I started this new blog to provide information and inspiration for those looking for arts and crafts resources. I remember when I first got started in 2006. I was looking for a craft to try while I was dealing with grief and depression. Once, I decided to make greeting cards, I didn't find many resources. Then, I came across a great papercrafting website (formally Two Peas in a Bucket). This one resource made a big difference in my development. I learned more about my passion, met new friends, personally grew and just had a fun time. After seeing how great information helped grow my creativity, I wanted to create a directory to help others like I was helped.

So this year, I decided to collect most of the websites, classes and events that I've experienced and share them with you here at Inspired Me 411.

Come on in y'all, explore, and look around. I hope you find something that inspires you!
Subscribe so you can stay up to date with everything.
Blessing!

New Art Collection & Video

Today, I am thrilled to share with you my new art collection called "Inspired Blooms." These 16 painting were made this year, 2024. Last April, we attended a fantastic floral exhibit at South Coast Plaza Mall and I was so inspired. Shortly after this show, I sat down at my art table and starting creating my floral joys.  In this video you will see the Inspired Garden Girls, a portrait and 12 floral arrangements. Check out the video.  Video Link Here Painting these flowers these last four months has filled my heart with such comfort and joy. I hope these happy "Inspired Blooms" bring a smile to your face and peace to your heart like I experienced. Feel free to share this video with a friend, too. Let's spread the flower power! :)
