Welcome to this week's
Motivated Monday
here at BeColorful.
So sorry for the late posting but it was a full week with a bit of this.
plus a party for my father-in-law,
a graduation party for a niece and nephew and an update to
Mac OSX Lion.
This update was the biggest reason for my late post. Switching over to a new computer and operating system has had a bit of a learning curve. Did you know that on Lion you can no longer "save as"? Wow, that made loading images from blog links a bit challenging but I am slowly grasping these "new fangled" options.

For those of you looking for something a bit simpler and that immediate gratificating, then this idea from
should be the project for you.
The numbers, the black and white, love it all.
Then there was this good to know post from
Just this past week this trick for how to tell if an egg is still good came up in a discussion. I had forgotten this little tip but when I saw it on a Motivated Monday blog link last week, I knew this helpful hint should be shared.
Finally, a few years back I had a dated fabric covered desk chair in a nasty shade of dirty burgandy. I would have loved to have recovered it. If only I had known how. That chair is long gone now but if you still have yours then you will want to stop by
to see how she created her fabulous pretty pink chair update.
