I was just wondering where everyone got their design ideas from?

I'm new to this but I've been collecting ideas for over a year. I get Lucky, Glamour and Cosmo magazines (plus a bunch of junk magazines) and I have this 3 ring binder where I glue cut outs of dresses, bathing suits and different things for future reference. My dad looks at me like I'm going loony b/c everytime I get a magazine I'll read through it and rip out pictures as I'm going along.

I never thought I could get so many wonderful ideas from a magazine.

I've also gone to different websites (when it's slow at work) and printed pictures of their plates and linen and things like that.

Just thought I would share, for those of us who aren't as great coming up with our own ideas.
