Grace Langdon Art : Making Monday 39

Welcome to Making Monday.

It's May, which means it's time to get serious about yard work, planting flowers and my garden, and hanging laundry out on the clothes line. All winter long I look forward to it but then by the end of August I grow weary of it all. Are you the same way? Or do you have the endurance to keep up with all of the summer-time "chores"?

This is a party where you can find fun new creative ideas and tasty recipes shared by amazingly talented people. Every Monday bloggers stop by to link up their posts and share with all you party goers. By joining in {both bloggers and non-bloggers} you will discover new blogs, be inspired to make something new, try a yummy new recipe, and most importantly make new friends!

This party is hosted by Gracie and me, and your projects will be shared on both of our blogs. We love that you're here and we love featuring you on our social media so be sure to follow us so you can see if your post gets shared!
