    Love the picture. I got caught up in discovering all the triangular shapes in the painting. Did you notice?

    Happy Blue Monday, Coralie!

    I love that cute little girl in blue, but what I love more are seeing all of yoru furbabies on your sidebar. They make me miss my standard collie SO much. There is a lady who walks a sheltie by our house every day, and he loves to bark at intervals. LOL! So cute!

    Happy Blue Monday to you...

    XO,

    Sheila :-)
