Monday, Monday.....and here it is dreary (again) and grey (again) and damp (again). Having always considered myself a girl that LOVED that kinda day, imagine my surprise this morning when I found myself craving some sunshine!
And I found it! Susan at Hometown Girl posted about Monday Pretties! It cheered me up greatly. So, I figured I would follow suite and jump on her bandwagon and drag along too. So here is my version of Monday Pretties!
Found a new blog that I absolutely ADORE! Bluebird Papercraft! Elizabeth is like a whiff or fresh roses on a cloudy day, with a cup of hot tea AND a really good piece of chocolate to boot!
Look at that Valentine...is that not the cutest? Elizabeth not only shows you what she is making, she gives you detailed instructions and diagrams so that you can do it too! She is quite talented and of course, she had me at the red and cherries! Go check out her blog and just smile.
MaryJanesFarm mag, the Feb-March 2011 issue.
I knew this one was good, when I rounded the corner at B/N and Sweet Hub had a copy of one in his hand as well! :)
There are several great pieces on paper crafts , as well, as that sweet wee house (that every one has had on their blog), as well as many other great articles.
LOVED this tag page!
Well, here is hoping that you find inspiration in your little neck of the woods. Happy Monday.

I think you must be my twin! I, too, love the rainy days but am beginning to tire of them. I love a good cup of tea (and chocolate to boot!). I just discovered Bluebird Papercraft over the holidays and have been poring over her darling projects. Mary Jane's Farm has been a favorite of mine for years- beginning with her books. The "topper" was that fab page of tags- it had all the things I love!
Thanks for the fun post-

I will check out that blog for sure. I have never seen that magazine, I will have to check that out as well. I am a gray day lady myself. But I love sunshine in the summer!
