Wow, it was quite a week over here on BeColorful's Motivated Monday.
There were over ninety links to last week's party.
Thank you to all of you. I remember back in the day when there were less than twenty links. Your inspirational ideas are making this a bigger and better event with every passing week.
:D
It was a busy week for me too. We were in Galena last weekend with some of the kids. The guys golfed and Liz and I took photos. It was beautiful weather and I can't tell you how much fun I had.
It was great just taking pics of her taking pictures.
Later in the week the hubs and I went to a Romney rally. I hope if your leanings run left you will still continue to hang around.
:D
and helped a relative pick out some awesome living room furniture.
But I wasn't any busier than any of you. You all amazed me with what you shared here this week on BeColorful.

In the home decor category I was smitten with this mirror make-over that
found at a sale for $2.00! She gave it a new outfit of paint and converted it to a chalkboard for her craft room. You really should stop by to see the befores, afters, and how - to information.

When it came to recipes, this is what intrigued me...
Healthy, and tempting.
Then I saw this link from
for the perfect baked potato. My first thought was we all know how to do that but her simple helpful hints and terrific images convinced me to share it here with all of you.
with her tutorial on how to make these leather bows.
A couple of weeks ago I saw this incredible bow belt from Burberry. It was fabulous but at $450.00 I was definitely not a player. I never forgot about it though. It was just that cool so I had been thinking about searching out a bow tutorial. Then BAM here it is right here on BeColorful's Motivated Monday.
Thank you Stephanie!

I am always a sucker for organizational posts and I thought this one from
