Every Inchie Monday Challenge - MAUDLIN

It's Every Inchie Monday! Today's inspiration word is "maudlin". I totally had to look the word up...I had never heard this word before. Here is the definition:

maud·lin adj \ˈmȯd-lən\

Function:  Adjective

Meaning:  [more maud*lin; most maud*lin] : showing or expressing too much emotion especially in a foolish or annoying way ▪ He became maudlin and started crying like a child. ▪ a maudlin love story ▪ maudlin poetry

This week my inchies are little collages.  The eye featured in "I often cry" is actually mine...I always loved that my eyes were big (smiles).

You can see other inchies and other interpretations of "MAUDLIN" here.  Maybe you want to join us next week - it's going to be MIRTHFUL!

Stay Creative!
