The most wonderful thing about being involved in WWC is meeting creative women. They inspire me each and every day. Visiting their blogs is one of the highlights of my day. One of these women is Koralee Teichroeb. She has the most amazing blog, www.bluebirdnotes.blogspot.com/ . Her photography is absolutely beautiful and she adds the most amazing text. Definitely a favorite of WWC! Let me introduce you to Koralee and her fabulous blog, Bluebird Notes…
I live on the outskirts of Vancouver, British Columbia Canada. I have 3 lovely girls and an amazing husband.
I starting blogging in January of 2009. I had no idea what type of world I was about to enter. My daughter introduced me to some lovely fashion blogs and I found myself completely mesmerized by these amazingly creative cyber spaces. I had always been very creative all my life..dabbling in this and that. You name it I have probably tired it. My grandma started me out very young in the creative process ….we would sit for hours upon hours creating anything and everything.
So seeing these beautiful blogs I thought ….well maybe I could get my camera out and start an online journal…. just for me {at that point I didn't even realize that people could leave comments}. I really just adorned taking photos of things from around my home. I then discovered I could do some very creative things with these images, such as collages…add text etc….well my creative juices started to flow and bubble over and I have been hooked ever since.
I try to post once a day and use all my own images {well at least 99%}. My writing is usually short and sweet and contains a positive message or quote. I think my sweet readers appreciate the fact that they can visit me quickly each day and take away something uplifting or positive.
I have found that blogging has given me so much Joy. Joy to create….Joy of meeting new friends….Joy of connecting with others from every part of the world {I really do not know what I would do without my sweet friends that I have connected with through blogging. They inspire and uplift me each and everyday!}
I do not think I will ever run out of ideas to post about…my mind is always seeing things as a post. Plus there are so many creative blogs out there that inspire me each and every day. Everyone of them being so personal and different…it is like reading a new magazine everyday.
Like motherhood blogging has become a part of my daily routine. It is something I look forward to each day because it gives me so much Joy. I have found my lifeline to happiness…..and it is called Bluebird notes. This is how I create.
Now aren't you uplifted? You'll get that feeling every time you visit Bluebird Notes! Please go visit Koralee now and see her marvelous blog. While you're there, be sure to comment-she's having a WWC giveaway! Thank so much Koralee for you inspiration each and everyday!

I have been a follower of Koralee’s for awhile now. She is so sweet and leaves the kindest comments when she comes to visit. I so enjoy the WWC magazine, how uplifting and inspirational. Have a blessed day!
Thank you for not only giving us all a chance to win something yummy, but for also giving us food for thought and a wonderful excuse to really think about things like creative bliss and dream spaces.
I believe it is important that we think of these things often and put them in writing and/or onto vision boards as it clarifies our goals and somehow makes them more achievable. I don’t know why this works but it does!
thanks for pointing out the eye candy that is Blue Bird Notes. I also stopped by Bright Side Prodject. :-) Thanks!
I also have you on my blogroll. :-)
I commented on both blogs, and am so glad I did! Thank you for pointing me toward such inspiring places!

Hi there,
I have come over to see you from Bluebird Notes. I love Koralee. She is kind, loyal and so generous and she was one of the first blogs that I found when I started blogging in June 2009. I have been following her since then and find Koralee’s blog beautiful, always so colourful, happy and full of love. XXXX
Koralee is aces in my book. A really great blog to follow – so sweet – so simple – she makes me smile/1
Thank you for sending me over to the Bluebird Notes – I love it, and The Bright Side Project wanted to know what my dream creative space would be….someplace peaceful, if that exists! Thanks Jo…keep up the great work!
I have followed Koralee’s amazing adventures for a while & enjoy popping in everyday to see what beautiful pics & poem or quote she has for us.

Thank God there are so many of us out there creating…I feel like we are making the world more beautiful stitch by stitch, smile by smile, cupcake by cupcake!
