I LOVE Mondays!

Happy, happy Monday, dear blog readers!  After an almost year-long absence, I'm back on the blog.  My post last year was created from a challenge by my chum, Dawn, during one of our business-meeting-Fridays.  I'm a techno-phobe.  There.  I've said it.  I didn't do Facebook, blogging, texting or Twitter.  Yes, I know!!  In this day and age!  If I was absolutely pressed, I'd just hand the device over to one of my many clever teenagers and beg them to help the old girl out.  So last year I was stepping out of my comfort zone and giving some things a try.  Well, after sweating/slaving over the construction of the blog, I decided to leave well enough alone and let it sit there for awhile.  And sit.  And sit.  

And now I've decided that it's time.  It's time to enter the world of social media and reach out to friends of old and friends-to-be.  And I'm pretty excited about it!!  I've actually been on my Facebook page, created an etsy shop AND signed up for Twitter.  I have so much to learn -- try to be patient with me as I navigate my way through this technical/left-brain thinking world.  Who knows -- I may even figure out how to use my cell phone properly too!  

But onward we go.  Today I wanted to give you peek at a project that I'd seen on one of Margie Romney-Aslett's seasonal video classes.  If you haven't been to visit her blog, give it a try: http://margieromney-aslett.typepad.com/im_just_a_girl/  Margie is wonderfully talented and an icon in the papercrafting world.  So here is before:

And here is after:

I know, right about now you're thinking that I should abandon the social media stuff and work on my photography skills.  Apologies!  It does really look lovely and shabby hanging in the corner of my studio!  And it's hard to see, but the side not facing you, gentle reader, has a great "junque" bow on it.  More about junque bows later...

What is on your table today, calling out for a makeover?  I'd love to hear from you!!

Hugs and loves!!
