Happy Metamorphosis and Blue Monday!

I decided to combine Metamorphosis Monday with Blue Monday this week. I found this really cute vintage chair at a yard sale for $5.00! I brought it home and painted it right up and added some beach-y blue material. I really like it. What do you think?

At April 21, 2009 at 4:15 PM , Anonymous said...: I don't know how the place you do a new post looks like but on Blogger and on WordPress (I have blogs on both of these), I just highlight the word or words I want linked to another blog. Then I click on the little thing that looks like a chain link that is displayed close to where you make words bold, etc. and then a box pops up with a place to put the url (that's the http: thing at the very top). First I go to the blog I want to link and copy the url from there. Then when the box pops up on the post page, I paste it there. It's really very easy as most things are when you know how. lol
Good luck. Let me know if I can help you further.

I hope I haven't further confused you.

Huntington Beach, California. I'm a Christian and happily married to the love of my life. I'm the proud foster mom of a beautiful teenage girl. I love sharing the beach and the simple, fun of boogie boarding with the children we foster. I never tire of watching the joy on their faces the first time they try it! That's why my home is called "Boogieboard Cottage". I love the simple, frugal and beachy life style. My favorite things are thrifting and collecting vintage treasures, cooking, crafting, and decorating.
