@Linsy hit 1,000 followers?& is celebrating it & her love of words with a great giveaway. (Check out her post for details!)

It made me think of idea No.561 in this book, "Use your favorite word in all of your conversations today." I tried it. It's not easy & people look at you strangely if you tell them they look LUMINOUS or you comment your latte is REDOLENT with cinnamon or you say you have a PLETHORA of good ideas. Try it!

Linsy Lol, I think I‘m going to have to try it now! I‘ll probably just feel like I‘m teaching a language lesson all day. 😂 (edited) 7y
Linsy Also, thanks for sharing with your followers! 🙏 7y

I had a great time with this book of inspirational quotes, lists of prompts & ideas & activities (both big & small) to spark creativity. I have shared a few things on previous posts & I have a feeling this colorful & beautifully illustrated little book will be well-used.

Tip#134: "Make a big batch of Rice Krispies Treats with creative fillings" inspired these??Berries & Cream Crispy Rice Treats-on the blog with my book tour review-link below:

VelvetSpade Looks awesome! 7y
Cinfhen My family would love those ❤️😋 7y
DebinHawaii @VelvetSpade @Cinfhen Thank you! They turned out to be pretty delicious. I'm not really all that big on Rice Krispie Treats and I am finding it hard not to eat them all before I can give them away! 🤣😋 7y
ElishaLovesBooks Wow! These look delicious! This book seems full of great ideas!😊 7y

"It is only afterward that a new idea seems reasonable. To begin with, it usually seems unreasonable." -Issac Asimov

?While perusing this creativity book for a review later this week, I tagged these bookish ideas for the library that sound like fun:

?# 182: "Adopt a shelf at the library and read everything on it."

?# 762: "At the library, find your favorite fiction writer's books. Check out a book by an unfamiliar writer on the same shelf."

wanderinglynn I love idea no. 762! (edited) 7y
DebinHawaii @wanderinglynn It's a fun one. 👍😀 7y

Another great quote from this creativity book I am reading for a review next week. It also seems an appropriate wish for #LitsyonLT Although both are about books, there are big differences in the purpose & use of #Litsy and #LibraryThing. Hopefully those differences will ultimately result in the most beautiful harmony.

MemoirsForMe Amen to that! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 7y
Texreader Nice!! 7y

Fun and inspiring #bookmail for an upcoming book tour review. In addition to 1,001 tips to spark creativity (like #504: "Study the meanings and histories of colors." & #725: "Use seven words to say something beautiful or profound."), there are some great quotes on creativity like this one from Maya Angelou.?Hopefully it will inspire a creative recipe pairing for my review.??

MxAshBookshelf Lovely quote! 7y
