My refrigerator doors are a glimpse into my life just like my blog. They are full of some of my favorite photographs from trips, postcards from friends, recipes for inspiration and my magnets. I started making my own magnets after I made a huge magnet board for my living room and couldn't find any magnets that I liked. I make a few different types, but here are some glass pebble ones that I made last week.
I'm a 30 year old, scarf loving, globe trekking, kickboxing, inspiration seeking girl. My favorite quote is “It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”
Recently I took a 5 week trip to India and traveled around on my own. Because of my blog I made a wonderful connection in India before I left and was invited to visit a school in a small town which turned into three of the best days of my trip! Here I am dancing on stage at the school assembly I attended. I had no idea what I was doing but had the time of my life!
Here are a few of my favorite posts:
A great crafty photo project - Take your photos with you...
A funny true story - Attention customers
And a funny post about traveling in India - Warnings
I also do a post called Wednesday Wonderfuls most Wednesdays where I feature different artists and their wonderful creations. These are always full of some wonderful things I have found recently.
Since I love to travel I'd love to know where everyone is coming from. If you leave a comment here please let me know where you are visiting from!
I hope you will look around a bit and maybe find some wonderful inspiration for yourself! I am always looking for inspiration in the world and hope to inspire you today.

Wow, that is SO cool about your trip to India and about connecting with others before you got there! One of my friends is a photographer who recently went to India to photograph an adoption. It was an amazing story...I blogged about it under one of my Motivation Monday posts.

Hi Debbie, I'm new at blogging since January and am unsure about a lot of things, including SITS day, but I keep logging in to check out what is going on. We love traveling as well, and I remember one experience with a first class train ticket in Italy. Six of us were waiting at Sorrento for the train to take us to the ferry and then over to Sicily. Each time a train rolled through it kept on going. When it finally stopped there were people literally hanging out of the windows. We sent my husband in to see if there was any room inside (God knows why we thought there might be). He couldn't get past the second step in the train car. We ended up having to hire a driver for many euros for the five hour drive. So, sometimes a first class ticket doesn't guarantee a seat either. Ciao, Bella!!
Happy Sits Day! You deserve it.
Happy SITS day! India is my top travel destination right now....I am so jealous that you went for 5 weeks...
Every Thursday I do a Travel Abroad Thursday where I blog about different destinations, things to do, sights to see.... if you want to do a guest post about India, I won't turn you away!
What a fun blog! I love to travel & experience life - how inspirational! And I love the magnets you've made. Happy SITS day :) Stopping by from Ventura, California.
I love the name of your blog and totally agree with the fridge door thing. Ours is completely covered and that's one of the first things I look at in someone else's house! I just don't trust people with bare refrigerator doors! Can't wait to dig into your blog. :o)
I ALWAYS like to look at and inside people's fridge! I thought I was the only one! So nice to be introduced to your blog! Here's mine:
http://holyokehome.blogspot.com
Happy SITS Day! I love your blog! Whenever I take a trip, I buy a magnet for my fridge. Plus I keep an ongoing list for the grocery store and a few coupons.
Anyway, I'm here from Quincy, Massachusetts, which is just about five miles south of Boston. : )
Congratulations on the SITS featured blog. I have enjoyed the reading!
You got me hooked.
CONGRATULATIONS on being the featured blogger! It is nice to "meet" you. Love your magnets! Best wishes.
Kindest regards,
Brook
Congrats! Happy SITS day! Love your blog theme, I think what a refrigerator door looks like says so much about a person! Hope you have a great weekend!

I love your magnets!

Enjoy your sits day! So true about the fridge! Visiting from sunny Minneapolis.
Happy SITS day! I like your idea about the fridge but I think you can learn more about a person from what's inside they're fridge. But your way would be much less rude. :)
I think about it and my fridge has a few pictures but mainly lists. Shopping lists, meal lists, to do lists...I guess I like lists! :)
Hello from Vancouver, WA. Happy SITS Day! I love your magnets! I can't wait to read more of your posts! Have a wonderful day!!

Hello from sunny Florida. Congratulations on being the featured blogger on SITS today. I love your blog. Possibly will be a new follower. I'm off to lurk around your place for a while.
Happy SITS day! I'm off to explore your cool site!
Hi neighbor and fellow sitsta,
Love your blog. It is a small world. I am in Crossville, TN.
I wonder what my fridge says about me? Lets see I have a few random magnet letters and numbers, 2 beautiful pages colored by my kids, other random magnets and stickers (my kids thought were magnets). Yep, overworked underpaid loving mommy. You are right you can tell alot about a person by their fridge!! Greast post!
If you are in need of some freebies come on over to my neighborhood, http://angies-freebies.blogspot.com/
Have a great day!!!
Hey,
Stopping by to say hi since you said hi to me! Glad you liked the skirt. Congrats on being SITS featured today too! And I see you were on the I Made it Thursday thing, awesome! I love crafty blogs. I'm following you now.
Anna
I do appreciate your simple format and easy to read posts. Clean and clear. Breath of fresh air. It looks like you are a woman of adventure and thoughtfulness. Perhaps we can get to know each other more here in the blogosphere!
Nice to see a featured blogger about something other than 'mommydom' (no offense to the mommy bloggers out there).
Wishing you heaps and bounds of glorious trips around our big globe and continued enlightenment.
Peace, happiness and serenity,

Happy SITS Day!!
I love that you went to India! I dream of going there one day!
Congrats on your SITS day!
I'm a refrigerator snob - I like it to be clear from any magnets or clutter. I'm just now living me dream because the new fridge finish is so shiny magnets might scratch it. I let my daughter play with letter magnets on the side.
That's the history of my fridge! Happy SITS Day!
