Inspirations And Delights
Ellibelle – Pink Daisy Dream Card
Beautifully colored stamps…
Heartfelt sentiments…
Delightful die cuts…
And lots of TLC!
These are a few of the ingredients you’ll find in
Ellibelle’s beautiful card!
Want to embellish your wardrobe
With unique, feminine touches?
Turn to Maya for inspiration –
Her romantic Daphne cuff provides lovely Victorian flair!
Maggie – one of the stalwart volunteers at PAWS –
Reminds us that there are always adorable kittens like these
In need of forever homes!
If you’re looking for a loving companion and a best friend for life,
Won’t you consider opening your home and your heart?
Memorial Day is next weekend – time to party!
Looking for a fabulous recipe to kick off your summer festivities?
Estelle’s Sloppy Joe Sliders are a guaranteed crowd pleaser!
Fruit Salad is a must at any summertime gathering,
And Nancy shows us how easy it is to pull this family favorite together!
Add her Honey Lime Dressing to the mix for Fruit Salad perfection!
No May celebration would be complete without strawberries –
Joy sweetened hers with honey and created a healthy rustic version
Of a favorite dessert treat!
Music To Inspire You
Welcome To Music Moves Me!
Billy Joel’s song “We Didn’t Start the Fire” covers over a hundred events from 1949-1989. In this video, each event is given its own slide along with some brief background, so you can read the lyrics and pause and research key events on your own!
We Didn’t Start The Fire – Billy Joel
Inspire Me Monday #540 – May 22, 2022
I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!

Lots of yummy food and such cute kittens!
Yes! Have a great weekend Terry, Brian, Seal and all! 🙂
Such cute kittens. And I love that card. Thanks for hosting.
My pleasure Ellen – thanks for the feedback – I always enjoy seeing what resonates with y’all! 🙂
Hope you are having a great weekend and thanks so much for the party!

Thanks Miz Helen – hope you are catching up on your R & R and having a fabulous weekend too!
This is one of Billy Joel’s best ones and I appreciated that the creator of the video put subtitles under each lyric to briefly explain, in one sentence, what that lyric meant or was about. I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s so most all of these events were not unknown to me, but it got me to thinking – we do need a sequel for younger generations. Sadly.
This is such an amazing song – 40 years of key historical events to study, remember and pass down –
I too was thrilled to come across this video which illuminates everything so succinctly.
So glad you appreciate its significance Alana! 🙂
Oh, I love those crocheted cuffs. So pretty.
They are one of my faves too Barbara!
Thanks so much for including the Fruit Salad with Honey Lime Dressing in your features! 🙂
My pleasure Nancy. This is one I look forward to enjoying all summer!
Thank you so much for hosting!
Enjoy your week.
Thanks Tina – you have a fabulous week too!
Thank you so much for the wonderful feature of my Daphne cuff! It brightened my day!
So happy to hear that Maya – your creations are SO beautiful – I love them all!
Thanks for hosting this week!
God bless your week!

Always a pleasure. Hosting Inspire Me Monday is one of my highlights of the week!
Thank you for helping me remind everyone that your local shelter is the place to go for adorable kittens, cats and dogs of all ages!
I’m happy to do so Maggie – thanks for sharing such precious kitties with us!
I love Ellie’s card and the kitties! Thank you for the party.
My pleasure Amy – have a blessed week!
What a great tune to put the move in my groove this morning! Mmm, Sloppy Joes! Mom used to make them when I was a kid. She used the canned stuff but it was good. 🙂 I’ll have to check out the recipe feature. Thanks for hitting the 4M dance floor, my dear. Now, let me take a peak at some of the inspiring posts listed today. 🙂
We are huge sloppy joe fans too Cathy – we ate the canned stuff as kids – now we make our own!
Those kittens are adorable!
Couldn’t agree more! Wish all of the shelters took the time to present their pets with as much love as PAWS does!
Thanks so much for hosting! I always enjoy all the creativity!
Thanks for always sharing such wonderful posts with us Donna. I have 2 of your posts bookmarked for a deeper dive this week!
Thanks so much for stopping by and for your kind comment! Glad that you enjoyed seeing that piece of stained glass….I do love it too!! Stay safe, healthy and happy!!
Hugs,
Deb

Wasn’t that cat photo fun?
