Blue Monday & My first Met Monday

Hey There! Happy Monday and I hope your day has been a good one so far. Today I'm participating in my very first "Metamorphosis Monday", hosted by Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch- as well as "Blue Monday", which is hosted by the very gracious Sally @ Smiling Sally. Be sure to pop on over to both and see who else is sharing today.


Opening one's mail can be such a wonderful and surprising time. Debbie @ Garage Sale Gal sent me one of her handmade Valentine cards, made with vintage Valentines. Isn't it too cute? See the blue on the sweet little girl's hat? See the blue pants that lovey bear is wearing? I'd say it "counts" for Blue Monday? Wouldn't you?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------



As I stated earlier, this is my very first "Met Monday". I'm going to start off "small", but you'll see that a major metamorphosis has occurred...


Before:
Daisy Louise
Poodle PUFF
After:
Daisy Louise "Froo Froo"
You just gotta love those bows! LOL!
I'm sorry her "after" picture isn't larger, but I couldn't get the darn thing to re size (grrr). This pic was taken with my cell phone. I know you can see how much of a change she's gone through. Ahhh, thank God for groomers :0)

That is quite a change. We once had our puppy clipped at the Vet while we were on vacation and we didn't recognize him when we picked him up. Daisy Louise is a knock out!

Elaine said...

Good morning Rechelle.....love how Daisy Louise "Froo Froo" looks! You can almost tell she "knows" she looks cute by the way she's posing! What a sweetie.
I thought you'd be a great one to receive the Kreativ Blogger award so when you get a chance drop on by my blog and "pick it up". The post is Sunday Feb. 8th and contains a few little instructions. Have a great day!
Elaine :)

Cass @ That Old House said...

Well doesn't Daisy Louise look just perfect? And she knows it, too. Now that is a metamorphosis that's truly adorable! Cass

JudyBug said...

Daisy is so cute! Our cockapoo can get so bushy before it's time to groom again. They can almost look like a completely different dog after grooming can't they?

Kim's Treasures said...

Isn't that puppy cute!?! AWW!!! Love her bows!

Maryrose said...

Cute as a daisy and proud of it. Love it, thanks Maryrose

Sweetie said...

I love the "new" Daisy. The Valentines are sweet. Happy Blue Monday!

How funny. I was not expecting a dog transformation but it works. Our dog needs a transformation too but we know when it is done, he is going to look like a rat so we are holding off as long as we can. His hair is all narled and will need to be shaved. "Froo Froo" looks great especially with the bows. Steve - French Cupboard

Patty said...

Daisy is so cute! All of your doggies are. :)

Kat said...

Daisy is a cutie! Love the little bows, she looks like she enjoyed her spa day! Kathy

GARAGE SALE GAL said...

Hi Rechelle,
Maybe I need some pretty pink bows in my hair!!!The last cut wasn't like the others...maybe she was talking to much while cutting my hair..hummm
Glad you like the card! I enjoy making them:)
Warmly,
Deb

Unknown said...

Oh my goodness, that doesn't look like the same dog! How cute! Does she enjoy being groomed? I know I do!

How weird. I just finished grooming 2 out of 3 of my dogs. I never thought of taking before and after. Good for you. I was getting a little tired of looking at furniture. lol
