Blue Monday-A Giveaway Win and Random Blues

Blue Monday is here again.
Sally at Smiling Sally is our lovely host each week.
Thank you Sally for doing such a great job!
~~~~~~
On a Pink Saturday a couple of weeks ago, I posted a Giveaway win from
Lindsay at The Cross -Stitch House.
Well, not long after I got that one I also won one from
I was the one that guessed closest to where she was going at the time.
This was in the bag. The print is in BLUE.

Helmi is helping me to show it off.
She likes to do that.

Helmi is displaying the bookmark from Spain.
A really neat looking bookmark.
It will get used for sure.
And this wonderful BLUE bag from Boston!
Helmi can get swallowed up in this bag!!
We have used this bag at least once when we go grocery shopping.
It holds a lot.
We try to remember to take our cloth bags with us when we shop.
I keep this bag with the other bags we have.
Thank you Buttercup for the win!!
~~~~~~~
Now for the random BLUES.
I had this very BLUE picture on my desktop for awhile.
It was fun to look at everytime I turned on the computer.
This is a Debbie Mumm design. She has several choices for a
desktop background.
I have changed it again already and will be sharing that
one on REDnesday.
I took some random pictures of BLUE things
on my way home from work one day.
A Foster's Freeze!
Do you have one of those?
I have not been to one in a long time!
Oh, and notice the sky!
BLUE peeking through the clouds.
I think every community or nearly every community
has one of these.
I am sitting here waiting to go straight.
Here the light for turning right is green.
These are BLUE all over California.
Are they BLUE in other states?
You can also barely see the BLUE recycle container there
on the left.
Some of the Bus Stop shelters are BLUE.

Some of the fire hydrants are painted white with BLUE!
Oh, and that house is kind of BLUE!
These are taken in the town I work in, not the town I live in currently.
~~~~
Hope you all have a great Labor Day!
I originally thought I had to work.
But was pleasantly surprised when I
found out I had the day off.
Whoopee!!
Happy Blue Monday!

Hi Linnea
Congratulations on winning another giveaway. You are on a winning streak! I love the useful bag and cute book mark.
I enjoyed your blue pictures especially the gorgeous Debbie Mumm screensaver. I love that.
I enjoyed your previous post too with the gorgeous sunflowers but couldn't get the comment box to open up!
Thanks for your lovely comment about my new bathroom.
Happy Labor Day.

Happy Monday and Labor Day Linnea,
I too have the day off. Isn't it wonderful? It has given me a little time to visit my favorite blogs. I so love coming here. I have never seen a fire hydrant that was white with blue. Ours out here in Phoenix are yellow, and I have seen Buttercup in Manhattan has some red ones. I have seen several today. Have lots of fun on your day off. Country hugs, Sherry

So glad you like the bag and the bookmark. Helmi does an excellent display job. I got a bag for myself, too, and it's going with me in a little while to the grocery.

Nice blues! Especially that Foster's Freeze - love the blue building. We don't have those in Virginia, but we have Tastee Freeze which looks pretty similar. Great places for ice cream sundaes. Hope you enjoy what's left of your Blue Monday!
