Another Snow Day




Snow falling and falling
Schools closed
Streets filled with laughing families
Sleds everywhere

We walked downtown
The world silent and beautiful
Coffee Houses packed, windows steamy

A New Bag of Color


Inspired by the snowy world outside my window, a flow of color for
Wander with Color and Wanderlust Bracelet pieces.

Happy Beading!

Winter Wonderland







It finally looks like winter!

7 1/2 inches fell yesterday
More on the way


Pumping out Peppermint Hot Chocolates on my new espresso machine!

Old Boat







An old boat washed ashore
Crusty, decrepit, ruin
But oh, what gorgeous color!



What stories could she tell?
What treasures has she carried?

Favorite Color? (Blog Hop Winners)

COLOR
How can I choose a favorite?
Each day is a different mood
And each hue fills me with deep emotions
But for today - as I get ready to climb up on a ladder and paint our entry-way a deep, heathered teal...

I have to admit that the lovely range of colors between green and blue make me smile.
















What is your favorite color... at least for today?

Thank you all for swirling through colors with me this last week.
I have loved being a part of this wonderful group of artists who have inspired me to run outside in this cold, rainy December and take pictures! (though admittedly my photos are a bit dark in this cool, grey light).

Here are the lovely winners* (Drum Roll Please):

Wednesday (December 7): Barb Mahle (Anonymous)
Thursday (December 8): Valerie (Hot Art)
Friday (December 9): Sally Anderson (Wild Sally Road)
Monday (December 12): ChrisD
Tuesday (December 13): Pamela (Bailey in a Box)
Wednesday (December 14): Mari (Mis Amores)

*Please e-mail me with your e-mail address so I can send you the
pdf of DIP INTO COLOR!


Your comments have filled my cup and as a thank you, I am offering a SPECIAL DEAL on my eBook: DIP INTO COLOR through tomorrow (6:00 pct). Take a peek here.

White on White (another Blog Hop day)













What is white really
A hint of color peeping through a veil
Soft

Often overlooked, overshadowed

in it's shadows
