As all of you have Probably Guessed already, I Love Jane Austen! She and all of Her Works are Some of my Greatest Muses. Pride and Prejudice was the Inspiration here. I find that Time Period Fascinating. The Customs and The Culture. 

“Affection is desirable. Money is absolutely indispensable!” – Mrs. Austen's Quote from Becoming Jane. That was a Young Woman's Plight during that time.
And the Plight of Parents ............

Elizabeth Bennet: [On Marriage] "Is that really all you think about? "
Mrs. Bennet: "When you have five daughters, Lizzie, tell me what else will occupy your thoughts, and then perhaps you can understand."  I Love this Line!

 Well It is another Wonderful Brag Monday! 

And our Hostess, our Good Friend Karen of the Graphics Fairy! If you haven't seen the new Sheet Music Image  You should have a Look! It is really Lovely!

Happy Monday Everyone!

Hello Everyone! I Hope Everyone had a Great Weekend! Well its another Wonderful Brag Monday!! Can't Wait to see what everyone has Created!

I have been working on Layer and Creating Background Images. The Background here starts with a Beautiful Handwriting Sample from Catherine Mud Bay Images. Next I added the Gothic Window Image from The Graphics Fairy. I Just Love this  Window Image! There is so Many Possibilities! Next I added a Grungy Rust Mask to add Color and Texture.The Lovely Butterflies came from

Blanca of Magic Moonlight Studios. 

The Beautiful Young Couple is another one of my Favorite Paintings by Lord Fredrick Leighton. The Romantic in me is reminded of when my Husband and I were Young and first Married. So Many Blessings our way on our Journey. 

We are so Grateful!

Have a Wonderful Monday Everyone!

Hugs
