Inspire Me Monday #575 – Week Of October 12, 2023
I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!

Thank you so much for hosting Inspire Me Monday. ???? Have a wonderful week.
You too Stephanie and your question mark clarification (they should be smiley faces) made me smile – I can’t tell you how many times I have done something like that and it didn’t convert properly!
Have an amazing week! 🙂
Aw, the question marks showed on my previous comment when I was trying to insert a smiling face, haha. Sorry about that. Have a great week.
No problem – thanks for the clarification! 🙂
Perfect choice for music this week! RIP Matthew Perry.
Thank you so much for hosting.

My pleasure Maria – so glad you enjoyed the video – it was so much fun to watch! 🙂
Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week. I will be back later this month.
Such wonderful friends, they are each an inspiration for all of us!
That cake sounds realy good, unfortunately all it would inspire me to do is eat too much of it because it’s supposedly “healthier.”
Thanks again for hosting this charming party!! I truly appreciate the time and effort that goes into it! Stay safe, healthy and happy!!
Hugs,
Deb
So many inspiring things! As Maggie’s friends and fellow volunteers, we can truly say we are inspired and thankful for her every day. Hugs to you, Ramona!
That square wreath is great!
Honeydew looks so sweet, and I love Ellie’s vintage card! Thanks for the party.
Thanks so much for hosting and for featuring my creative workspace post, Ramona! What a nice surprise to wake up to! Have a great week!
Thank you so much for selecting my vintage rose card as one of this week’s features! And congrats to the other features as well! Honeydew is so beautiful!
I’ve only watched a few episodes of Friends here and there as I worked a lot during that time (and still lived in Germany when it first started so probably didn’t run there yet at that time). But it sure always made me smile whenever I could catch an episode. Might have to start watching it from the beginning. And I loved Matthew Perry in Fools Rush In, I might have to re-watch that movie again!
Thanks so much for hosting the linkup!
Those handmade cards are so lovely and that kitty is adorable.
I noticed someone left a RIP to Matthew Perry. That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw your song pick for this week. It’s a good song and so perfect to share with your bloggy friends. Have a boogietastic week and may you have a blessed Thanksgiving, my dear!
I never watched Friends but after reading the tributes for Matthew Perry I know something of what I missed. I pinned the gluten free apple cake as I have a FB friend who was diagnosed with celiac disease a few months ago
Oh the kitty and I ate the pie.
Love the video. Loved that show too.
Have a fabulous day and week. ♥
I was here earlier, but that’s okay… I had a doctors appointment anyway, so sorry I’m so late, but better late than never! Great tune as they say… you take care… HAPPY THANKSGIVING SEASON!!! HUGS
Thank you for the feature this week! That simple card idea was a big hit with paper crafters!
Thank you for sharing my square wreath you made my day! Have a lovely week. 🙂
Thank you so much for hosting! I love stopping by to check out all inspiring ideas… this week your sweet photo of the tabby cat reminded me of my own childhood pet! ???? Thanks for inspiring the memory!
Happy November Ramona! Thank you so much for hosting us every month. I love visiting over at your place. Sending Have A Wonderful Thanksgiving wishes your way.
Linking up at #11&12.

I am looking forward to enjoying a new (to me) inspiring blog hop. Thankyou. Enjoy your week, and thankyou for the linkup.
Thanks so much for sharing Inspire Me Monday with Sweet Tea & Friends this month sweet friend.
Thanks again for hosting!!
Hugs,

I’m probably one of the three Americans who never watched Friends, but I’ve read several articles about Matthew Perry now. And, this song rocks. I’m investigating the French apple cake next, although I’m not vegan.
Thanks for featuring my square wreath! Happy Holidays.
My pleasure Libbie – look forward to more of your beautiful contributions in the New Year!
