Red, White, and Blue Monday!

I have been a busy

flag-waver.

The sweet image above is from

The Graphics Fairy.

These itty-bitty beauties

were created using vintage curtain rings

and images from

Paper Whimsy.

I love when I find a stash of vintage game cards

to play with!

I enJOY putting together inspiration kits,

like this Red, White, and Blue one.

Love, Love, Love

the red crochet piece I used here!

I hope my little offerings help

to put you in a

ready-for-Summer

state of mind!

I am linking up with the following Monday shares:

Monday Marketplace - Common Ground

enJOY a Lovely Monday Evening,

and Your Blessings,

Off To The Post Office!

Here are the little bundles I put together for the

I will show the finished garlands once I know they have been received by the participants.

I cannot over-exaggerate how lovely these cards are

or how beautifully they work together.

Three Cheers For The Red, White, And Blue (and a little beige too)!

Summer is fast approaching,

Flag Day is only 10 days away,

and the Fourth Of July will be here before you know it.

I've been busy making and listing these little salutes to America.

I think I like these non-traditional pieces the best,

reproduced vintage black and white photos,

decorated with vintage paper,

and lots of metallic silver goodies.

These are all available in my etsy shoppes

(links are on my sidebar).

I hope you are enJOYing a star-spangled Saturday!

Blessings,

Kimberly

Happy Saturday!

I cannot believe that we are entering the final week in May,
Memorial Day is next weekend!

I have been busy creating these hanging decoration to celebrate the summer holidays.

I have just listed these little patriotic pieces in my etsy shop. I have a bunch of red, white, and blue pieces in Burlington too (just click the links in the right margin for either store).
enJOY Your Blessings,

Kimberly
