Mosaic Monday #1 - The Legacy Continues

I am honored to welcome you to my first post as the new host of Mosaic Monday.  Honored because I am a lucky lady to carry on the fine legacy established by our previous hosts - Mary @ Little Red House through August 4, 2014, Judith @ Lavender Cottage from August 10, 2014 through July 24, 2016 and Maggie @ Normandy Life from July 31, 2016 through October 29, 2018.  Please join me in thanking them!

How and when did you first come across Mosaic Monday?  My history with MM is relatively short, but then my blogging only began on March 2, 2017.  At that time, I was looking for other bloggers in Montana, and I found Kit @ A Montana Life.  Kit's blog roll contains both Maggie @ Normandy Life and Tammy @ T's Daily Treasures.  Tammy pointed me to PicMonkey as a tool for creating mosaics, and I was tickled with myself to publish my first three mosaics on April 3, 2017.

Then, on May 20, 2017, I linked to Mosaic Monday for the first time.  (I didn't learn about permalinks until later, so I am sure some of you that tried to find that post through Maggie's linky party got to read some other post … sigh.) Despite my mistakes, I was overjoyed to be welcomed by so many of you - 17 months later, I feel I am part of a community that shares its joys and sorrows through beautiful pictures and creative collages.  In honor of my first post as host, I have chosen 5 favorite mosaics to decorate this narrative.  I look forward to sharing many more collages, and to be inspired by your collections.

A special thank you to Maggie @ Normandy Life, for her patience with my questions over the last couple of weeks.  As she says "Keep calm and keep asking questions … it's the only way to learn."  So, I hope you'll be patient with me if there are technical bumps along the way - as some of you know, techie stuff is not my forte!



Here's to many more years of Mosaic Monday!

Welcome to Mosaic Monday, a weekly meme where we get together to share our photo mosaics and collages.
Please include at least one photo mosaic/collage in your post.
The link will be open from 1 p.m. Sunday until 11 p.m. Monday (U.S. Mountain time).
Remember to add the link to your Mosaic Monday post and not the one to your blog.
Please link back to this post so that your readers will be able to visit and enjoy more wonderful mosaics; taking the MM blog button from my sidebar is an easy way to link back.
As host I will visit every participant and leave a comment so that you know I stopped by.
Please try and visit as many other blogs as you can, especially those that join in later, so that everyone's creativity can be appreciated fully.
Thank you for joining in today and sharing your mosaics with us.

    Hats off to you for undertaking the management of this meme. I will put something together to join you for Monday. I used to participate with Mary and then didn't continue well when she stopped. Love the mosaics you put together for your first linky endeavor! I'll be back...

    Good luck with your new venture Angie. For my own part, I would like a tutorial in how to create a mosaic. Your own appear to be so well executed as ant effort of mine to shame.

    Angie, your mosaics are perfectly wonderful. I am amazed to realize that I've been part of MM since the first host.. I remember that I started linking only a few weeks before Mary handed it to Judith ... ever since I started it has been one of my favorite sharing parties. Thank you so much for keeping it going. I appreciate the efforts of all of our hosts so much. Sharing is what makes this hobby so much fun!

    Thank you for your willingness to host MM, Angie. Much appreciated. Your mosaic of the tea at Banff Springs brought back happy memories of our tea there, too, several years ago.
    I've been a part of MM since Mary's time, and like participating in this friendly group.

    Angie, thank you for taking on as hostess of MM. I appreciate it as it's always fun to link up to MM. I've been joining MM since Mary first started it. I enjoyed your mosaics and reading about your history. Have a great week.

    Thanks for taking over Mosaic Monday, Angie! I've been blogging 10 years so I first began linking up on MM on Mary's blog. I've enjoyed interacting with many bloggers over the years through it. I used Picasa for many years to make my collages and now I make them through Google Photos. I think I preferred Picasa collage formats more, but Google does not support it any longer...sigh. But as with anything else we have to keep moving along t=with the times. Happy November!

    Now I know how you found me. I sporadically have participated in Mosaic Monday over the many years its been around, but not so much lately. I may have to remedy that. Congrats for carrying the hosting torch. :)

    PS: IN answer to your question, I've been participating in Mosaic Monday for some years now. Came across it by chance and as I was already doing digital collages, it was a perfect meme!

    Hello, welcome as the new host of Mosaic Monday. I am joining in with your fun Mosaic Monday. I enjoyed Mosaic Monday as far back as Mary's Little Red House and then I slowed down some on the meme parties. But, I thought I would give it another try. Your mosaics and images are wonderful. Thanks for hosting! Enjoy your day, have a great new week!

    I was excited to see that you are hosting now and was going to join, but you're already closed! It's a bit difficult to hit the right times when you live on the other side of the world and are so many hours different!

    Thank you for taking care of Mosaic Monday as a new host. Your mosaic are always so lovely. I think I participated in June, 2017 for the first time invited by Tomoko (Green Tomato). I’m happy to be part of Mosaic Monday. Recently I don’t update so often but I’d like to join in whenever I update. Just stopped by to pay a respect to your first hosting.
