yes, that is probably what that odd smell is lately.
But anyways....
I love a good party. Yes, that may be me with the lampshade on my head being a total embarrassment... but I have fun!
Lately my inspiration has been lacking though. I need to get back in the groove. My house is a mess. My to do list keeps growing with nothing crossed off. Just look at all that to do stuff. That isn't even the half of it either!
So I need some inspiration. And who inspires me the most?
YOU!
So, I thought that maybe others out there are feeling the same way.
So how about a monthly inspiration party?
What is it?
Well, it is like a thank you party. Once a month, maybe the last day of the month, we will have a linky party. The rules are that you chose a person that inspired you that month, blogger or nonblogger. Maybe they inspired you to try out a color in your house, maybe a project, maybe a great recipe. Make a post about them and how they inspired you. Have fun with it! If they are a blogger, include a link to their blog so maybe others will get inspired too.
Then... tell them they were your monthly inspiration and link them to it.
A nice way to say thank you for all the time that they take to post.
There are so many linky parties out there that are great! I wanted to do something unique though.
Maybe I will learn how to make a button that you can give to your inspiration too.
So, what do you think? Good idea? Dumb idea? Too many linky parties already?
Be honest too!
I would love to hear your thoughts on it!

Good idea. Better yet...great idea :) Just stopping by your blog and love it. Can't wait to follow and check out more!
I love this Maggie!! I think it sounds like a wonderful idea as I am inspired every single day by the wonderful ladies in blogland.
I love this idea! Truly, other bloggers have inspired me to decorate, cook new recipes, and think new ideas. I'd be glad to tell them out loud. :)
LOVE it! I've been so inspired daily by all these great women in blogland!
What a neat idea!! I can tell ya, you've already inspired me with your spunky-ness :) Still love your blog....now if only I could learn how to make a button too. Have a wonderful weekend!! ~Amy
Well Maggie,
I'm with everyone else. It's a humdinger of an idea.As you said, a lot of effort goes into a post and it's lovely to thank people for their inspiration.
I'm a bit worried about you though. You haven't crossed anything off of your list. You have usually painted a couple of rooms, cooked up a storm for your entire family and made a couple of pairs of curtains by lunchtime !!
Do you think that you should see a doctor ?!! Haha XXXX
You are always inspiring to me so what better place to enjoy a party? Go for it! I'll be there!
thats a great idea!! lets party...
What a sweet idea for a party! good for you!
Maggie, NOt only a brillant idea, but such a loving gesture. Yes, let's (you do, me participate) it!. I'm up to my ears in planning for a bridal shower for today. I'll e-mail you later this week. Love the idea...and you!

Maggie
what a FUN idea! Love it because there are so many of you out there that inspire!
I just read the first sentence of this post (I admit that I'm a skimmer and sometimes have to go back and read what I should have read the first time) and I am literally laughing so hard, I'm crying! You are a riot!!!
Okay, Maggie Magpie and I are digging out our party pants and getting ready to party... love this idea... you are the best... now if you could put a big shoe on Marmaduke to kick me in the butt, I may even have something to post... lol.
Hope you are having a great weekend...
Hugs, Deb
Sounds like a great idea, can't wait!
