"Make-It Monday" Large Letters Eclipse

Good Morning and HELLO Monday! Are you ready for your week? I woke up in a panic at 2am this morning thinking of all the things I have to finish before going to OnStage next week...so the first thing I did was make a list. It's funny how making a list calms the brain and allows you to go back to sleep!  

I'm heading down the mountain today to go grocery shopping and to drop in to a dear friends annual jewelry party...then there is home group tonight.  That means I won't have time to get out into my shop to work on my OnStage projects, but they are written down on my list...and I have nine more days until I leave.  I also have a class to prepare for this Wednesday evening...always flying by the seat of my pants!  

I have a GORGEOUS "Make-It Monday" to share with you today!  BE INSPIRED!
