Inspire Me Monday #31 – Week Of August 6, 2012
I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!

Hi Ramona,
Hope you have a great week ahead! I linked up for the party, but for some reason, my link did not appear. When I re-submitted, it said, “You are already in it.” Hmmm, still can’t see it…I wonder why. Xo Cindy

HI Cindy,
Sometimes things take awhile on the link-ups to appear… when that happens, just check back in a bit (and if you have access to multiple browsers, try checking on a different one… sometimes it shows up faster on one brower over another!
Have a great week! 🙂
oh wow, it just appeared–yay!

Congratulations Tat – and I’m glad you are finding the Make Room useful!
We are currently finding the tool useful as we evaluate new places to live – it really helps us to see whether our furniture will comfortably fit into a place we are considering before we make a move!
Wonderful, thanks for choosing my photo from your favorites.
