Friday Again



Don’t the days fly by?  It seems like it was last Friday yesterday.  I have had a mixed week, started off on a roll and by Wednesday things had deteriorated.  Everything I touched I messed up, you know those days!

I could not get my head around the colours, red and yellow for Summer of Color which was strange because I use both colours a lot.  I was going to flag it because I was really struggling, when this morning I looked at my breakfast,  The jar of vegemite and the margarine tub were red and yellow, my cup of tea was yellow and the plate was yellow.  Well I am no Tracey Fletcher King, so I decided to photograph instead.



Tracey if you ever get tired of painting cups and mugs, may I suggest you paint teapots!  I was googling teapots for a picture I am doing and found some marvelous teapots. Here is one I think fits in with my theme.


Yeah I know it is Marmite, but I thought it cute.


Give Away Journal

 This is the center spread for my giveaway journal.  All girls need some bling in their lives.  Some like my friend Shelly like a lot of bling, her home is festooned with crystals, sparkly lights and glittery stuff.  You can’t walk past a store with bling in without her darting in and looking.  Makes it easy to get presents!  You can’t see but there is a lot of glitter glue making an appearance and the tiara is pure glitter. So this is a tribute to those who need bling a lot! 


Some more postcards



I have just realized that as I was writing this that all of these are full of red and yellow! Der!  Last week’s winners of the postcard give away were Giggles and Stefanie Stark.  If you want a chance to win some postcards this week, leave a comment.  The winner chooses from the postcards on my postcard page (tab at top).  

Have a great week everybody.

    Your drawings very lucid, but I what I really like is to have a cup of tea in that yellow cup and toast as appetizing as the photo, lol. Saludos

    What gorgeous colors in your postcard art, Sharon. I know I've heard of Vegemite, but I have no idea what it is.

    Even your giveaway journal has enough dominant yellow and red to be soc....seems like many of us were the same about those colors...I do love them...but having to do those colors this week didn't appeal...so odd!! Love all your cards, your photos, journal page and fun teapot!! Good job!! So glad I won the postcards!!

    Hugs Giggles

    Well, yes, for someone who was struggling with the SOC-colours this week, you do have a lot of reds and yellows in those postcards. They are all perfect SOC-pieces. Love all the colours in your center spread.

    I love your colorful world. I think birds must be in the universal thought wave right now, as I too have been thinking of them. Will we all be taking flight? Thank you for your comment on my blog.

    Yeah, Tracey would love painting these!!. You took a great composition of the breakfast :). I've never tried Vegemite, never been to Australia but I heard stories about it :). Will try once I get there! LOVE the postcards, and yes ... I love to think that tomorrow is still pure, and hopefully to fill it with all the good intentions :).

    The postcards are fabulous!! A very yellow and red photo. Gorgeous teapot, I know someone who would love it. I am guessing you did not miss Marmite as much as this house did! :)
