Help Getting the Creative Juices Flowing

I was just getting my ETSY forums fix and I saw this post

http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5998397

by Doodlestar. She has started a blog where different themes will be posted every Friday then artists are encouraged to create an item based on that theme. I think this is a great idea because:

1) It gives you a goal and a destination for when your not feeling so creative

2) Creating a piece in order to reach this particular outcome can lead to additional ideas and
concepts thereby getting you out of your creative slump

3) If you submit a finished piece it is great free advertising for you shop

It is really a win-win idea. Great job Doodlestar and thanks for all of your hardwork.
