Monday Inspiration

I just walked into my apartment after a day of travel. I have to keep reminding myself that it’s Monday and not Sunday. It feels like Sunday today. I’m unpacking and getting organized for the week — two things that leave me feeling absolutely overwhelmed! So I decided it was time to write my wonderful Monday blog post that always makes the day a bit sweeter :).

Melissa could not be a sweeter person! Her blog is amazing as well as her handmade jewelery :). I just received my first piece, Little Ellie, and will not take her off. You can see Melissa’s jewelery at her Etsy Store: Acts of Kindness. The image at the top of this post is the piece I got from Melissa!

I recently discovered Michelle’s blog and am hooked. It’s full of inspiration :).
