BLUE MONDAY

Hello and welcome to Blue Monday hosted by Sally of Smiling Sally.

I showed these pretty bunnies on my Pink Saturday post but I thought you Blue Monday gals would like to see them. On Saturday night before Easter I realized that I forgot to make my daughter Jen something handmade to go with her Easter candy treats. My husband helped me draw up a bunny shape pattern and I did my touches of ribbon emboidery and look how sweet they came out. One was for my daughter and the other for my daughter-in-law. I'm making some now to sell in my Etsy shop.

Next I have to show you how pretty my next creations came out. They are not all blue but I feel have enough touches of blue to pass for this Blue Monday post. This month for my Catholic Daughters meeting there were two of us in charge of refreshments. It has gotten to be custom that they put some centerpieces out and decorate the table a little, sometimes the girls will give a party favor. The girl that I was working with on this project owns a restaurent so she said she would make the all the food and I could decorate. Sooooo I got my little mind going and thought "how cute it would be to make everyone a little tag with a vintage image on it. It was the day after Easter so we decided to do a Spring Theme. So I went with all the pastel colors of spring.

For the centerpiece I made the floral arrangement, three glass candle stands and also made four cottage chic birdnests, two of them were hanging birdnests. We always draw numbers and give the centerpieces away. I took the pics at home because it was to hectic at the meeting to try and get pics.

Here's closeups of the tags, if you click on the pic you can see a larger view of the picture and see all the pretty detail and bling that I added to the tags.

The girls just loved them. They had never seen tags before and thought they were so cute.

This is what I put on the back of each one.

Well that's it for this week. Thank you so much for stopping by it was so nice to visit with you. Next Blue Monday I will start a three part series of my Americana Bath. So much to see so I'm going to do it in three posts.

Bless you. Shirl
