MOTIVATION MONDAY! Please read!
Today’s post is geared to motivate YOU to help me, please! We have a family wedding in less than two weeks, so we’re in all out “Wedding Prep Mode!”
I have to pause new projects for Beyond Imagining for a couple of weeks.
Facebook keeps small businesses like mine VISIBLE on your feed if I post EVERYday - and the more interactions from YOU (likes, loves, shares, comments) keep Beyond Imagining SEEN! FB is a business and they want YOUR engagement with their platform!!
Since I won’t post new projects, I’ll be posting previous ones and asking for your input each day (vote, opinion, color choice, etc). Please take a minute each day to find my post and respond somehow!
It won’t cost you anything but a minute of your time, and I’ll be appreciative “Beyond Imagining!”
Please engage/respond below to show me you understand! THANK YOU!!!!😘🥰

STAR-SPANGLED SUNDAY!
When May hits, I start thinking toward the patriotic holidays…
~ in May (Memorial Day)
~ in June (Flag Day)
~ in July (Independence Day)
This year, all of those are even MORE special, as our country celebrates its 250th Anniversary!!
I have begun to fully fall in love with patriotic decor! Especially on our porch, I truly love it “Beyond Imagining!”❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
What patriotic decor do you enjoy most?

SATURDAY SPOTLIGHT!
Another pet ornament in the books! Unfortunately, sweet Murphy passed away, so this ornament will be a precious memoir.
While I’m painting these, I always pray for the pet owners who lose a special pet. May they have peaceful memories “Beyond Imagining!”💕

FUNNY FRIDAY! After most everyone left Kathryn’s (our future DIL) bridal shower a couple of weeks ago, I had changed into my casual clothes for clean up.
I then asked our 5-year-old granddaughter to take a couple of pictures of me next to the banner. I wanted to show Kathryn that I had worn orange, her favorite color (and one that I RARELY wear)!
Our granddaughter took two pics and then told me, “Now move, Grandma Jo. I want just the sign in the picture!” I think she missed my reason for the pictures!😂😂😂
Aren’t kids just “Beyond Imagining!”💕😂

WONDERING WEDNESDAY!
Do you sometimes wonder how you’ve invested your days, weeks, months, years?
Dave and I made a quick overnight trip to his parents’ cabin this week. While there, I began looking around at some of the signs/art I’ve had the privilege to create for the cabin over the past several years.
Some things I am reflecting on:
1) I’m so very GRATEFUL they’ve allowed me to create some things for the cabin.
2) I feel so THANKFUL to see growth and improvement in the skills I’ve used to create these items.
3) One of my goals with Beyond Imagining is to BLESS the recipients of the products I create. I hope all who use the cabin are BLESSED by what they see/use.
All this wondering has made me GRATEFUL, THANKFUL and BLESSED “Beyond Imagining!”💕
Wondering what have YOU invested in for which you are GRATEFUL, THANKFUL and/or BLESSED today?

TOOLTIME TUESDAY!
One item that I as a creative have great need for is a good measuring device. Whether it’s a fabric or plastic measuring tape (shown here), a metal retractable tape measure, a ruler, or other measuring tool, I am continuously using at least one of these! I measure for length, width, centering, spacing, you name it!
My friend Sally stopped by this weekend, and while shopping at Field’s Fabrics, she bought me this cute tape measure!
Sally truly “measures up” as a friend who is “Beyond Imagining!”💕😉☺️Sally Walker McCarthy

MEMORY LANE MONDAY!
This post popped up today on my personal FB page (but it won’t allow me to share the full post here). So I’m sharing this screenshot!
Our son Brady took his friend Kathryn to their high school senior prom 7 years ago! And in just 19 days they’re getting married!
None of us knew it then, but the second picture shows a Beyond Imagining creation that totally describes their story!
Now THAT’S a love story “Beyond Imagining!”💕🥰

SO-BLESSED SUNDAY!
What a gorgeous day!! All I can think when I look at this picture is, “Hello, Spring!” (Of course, the sign might have something to do with that thought!😉☺️)
Though we’ve had Spring for over a month, today is a perfect spring day! The pink blooms on this bush scream, “SPRING,” and they only last a few days, so had to grab this pic while they are showing off!
Feeling BLESSED “Beyond Imagining!”💕🌸
What makes you think, “Spring”?
