"Make-It Monday" Background Bits

Good Morning and HAPPY MONDAY!  I so hope you had a FANTASTIC weekend! Weekends are never long enough! I love having my husband home and my kiddos too! I didn't play in my workshop at all...we ran errands on Saturday, church on Sunday...a walk...and a relaxing afternoon watching a movie (Going Out In Style). It was a really funny movie about three old men who rob a bank because they lost their pensions. Today I get to CREATE!!! I super excited because I so many things flowing through my mind! I hope you find just a moment to do something you love to do too!!

I have a "Make-It Monday" to share with you today! I'll be back tomorrow with another Tuesday's Tip Video and later this week with more creations so be sure to check back in!
