The Big Finale

Like they say "All Good Things Come To An End"! It's been a year now since my fun friend, Genie, from "Buttons for Baga" challenged me to a Mary Engelbreit "dual" of sorts. Who has the most Mary Engelbreit "stuff" was what we have been sharing for this past year. It's been so much fun. I've made so many friends who enjoy Mary's work as much as Genie and I do. We've shared the latest products that Mary's come out with and we've all shown our creativity through the use of her work to decorate our homes and more.  I'm proud to say that my little ole blog has even made it to the list of Mary's favorite blogs on her website. That's been a major honor in this big blogosphere world.
While this won't be my last ever post of things inspired by Mary's delightful illustration and work it will be the last of ME Monday for ME. 
As some of you know I have gone back to the corporate world which leaves me little time to spend being creative. No longer do I get to spend my afternoons keeping up with what's going on in all of my blogger friends world. I miss everyone dearly but unless I win the lotto one day soon I am going to have to go out there and get paid for an honest days work.  I'm enjoying my new career but it leaves me tired at the end of the day and the last thing I feel like doing is hopping on a computer at home.  Perhaps, with time I will learn that work/life balance thing. This is not goodbye but more like I'm taking a break for awhile. Just a few last little things to share with everyone.

I was recently checking out Mary's website shop and came across this most darling little Boyd's Bear that will be available at the end of July.  It's the "Cherry Engelbreit" bear! How cute is that?

Mary, also, has this new "Cherry Square" indoor/outdoor accent rug that I love!  It's available now on her website store along with some other cute designs.

Better late than never I like to say. I was so tired last night when I got home from my Mother's Day dinner I just didn't have the energy to put my post up.  I hope everyone had as wonderful a day as I did on Sunday. I bought these ever so fragrant hyacinths for my sweet neighbor Paddy. I stuck the cute little ME plant stake in with them for that extra touch.  She loved them.

I stopped into Michaels Craft last week after resisting for the last couple of months. They have a whole new "stash" of Mary Engelbreit garden products. I found the cute little sign below that, also, found it's new home at my friend Paddy's house. All the designs were 40% off last week but unfortunately I didn't have ME Monday until today. No doubt they'll go on sale again.

Paddy loved this too...it's so perfect for her.

In my office/studio I have this old Mary Engelbreit magnet display board that I use on the back of a closet door.  If I recall correctly it was given to me by one of my customers who had a retail store at the time. I've always enjoyed it for hanging varies mementos from it as you can see. The chair of bowlies is one that I needlepointed on plastic canvas to make it into a magnet.

I am happy to report that even though I took this photo in my front yard on Thursday (Jan.27) there is still no snow on the ground here. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I've been enjoying all of my blogging friends photos of snow. Everyone I know seems to live where there is snow. I so enjoy seeing the pictures so I thought, perhaps, they may enjoy seeing some real life "Green" from Florida.

My Mary Engelbreit 'Love' flag is an extension of my ME mantel display inside my home.



I have a question for those of you who come to ME Monday. I've just found out that Linky Tools will begin to charge for using the link tool starting 2/7/2011. While $2 a month is no big deal they're asking for $24 up front for a subscription. ME Monday is the only "meme" that I hold on my blog and I have noticed a decline in participation. But that could be because everyone is running out of ME stuff to share...lol.  I will probably never run out of ME stuff but hey...that's just ME. So??? The question is "Do I keep going as a "meme" or just share my own ME stuff?" Please let me know your thoughts.

Now, please join me and share your ME with us all. Once you've posted your pictures come back and add your link in MckLinky below. Please share the link back to my blog so that everyone can take part in sharing their post and picture.
