Inspire Me Monday #507 – October 3, 2021
I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!

Thanks April – I always enjoy going through everyone’s features each week and always have WAY more contributions I want to feature than I have space for and usually go through several rounds to narrow them down! Hope you have a fabulous week as well!

You’re welcome Michele – this is one of the areas that I try to be “steadfast” in each week! 🙂
The crocheted tubes are amazing. I wonder if they are made with a simple circular loom they used to sell when I was young (back in the 1950’s). The Elvis cover artist has a very nice voice.

Isn’t that butterfly beautiful? Shiju lives in India so most of the wildlife
in his photos is unique to his part of the world! 🙂

Hi Lee,
I’m so sorry you’ve been having issues connecting. I spoke with my techie hubby and he said that since you’ve gone through the first line suggestions, to try accessing our site from different browsers to see if that helps. Also, if all else fails and you can’t get linked up in a given week, if you let me know and send me your links, I will upload them for you. xoxo 🙂
Hello and Happy Tuesday!
