Dear Friends,
I am SO far behind on My Color of The Week posts! It's not even funny!
There is a rainbow up there somewhere shaking her fist at me!
If you thought FOUR weeks in one post was bad... Close your eyes, close this page fast.... Because there are SIX in this one!!!
Ha! Just doing my job and shocking you out of your daily grind at every turn my friends!

P.S. You comments on 'One Of "The Pretty One's"...' touched my heart and made me smile... thank you! -- I wasn't fishing for complements... REALLY! But thank you none the less.
Ohhh, Ohhh! What an absolutely beautiful baby!!
ReplyDeleteI also would love a copy of that picture of your lovely musicians if I may... :)
Coloring my world with smiles!
Such vibrant days. I love your color project... you'll make a book of them all when you're through?
ReplyDeletedear Flowing Colors,
ReplyDeleteYes, I am echoing Amy's book idea! It would be a treasure. These truely are sweet days, that make up sweet weeks, months and years. I keep thinking of that quote we see now and then: Treasure the little things, for one day we look back and realize they are big things. I think that is true about the days...the 'normal, ordinary' days. Full of the colors of LIFE when pieced together, make up a stunning quilt someday when its done.
love,
So happy to be able to see the beauties along lifes way
