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.

If you want to see more quirky whimsy, my post on Tuesday screams it.

This Week....

Summer of Color

The colours for Summer of Color this week were charcoal and pink.  I must admit the colours together were outside of my comfort zone.  I fluffed about for a while, however a dream came to the rescue.  I dreamt I was in the dark and reaching out and a flower appeared in my hand and I went to sniff it but there was no smell and it disappeared.  Yeah I know you could have a field day interpreting it! So, you are looking at my picture and thinking but that’s a shoe…?  Well there’s a story, Giggles reminded me of it with her shoe inspired icads.  I have a pair of red high heels in my wardrobe, I never wear them, haven't done for years, think I would fall off them now, these days I am into comfort big time.  I had them in my glamour days, hehe.  Well, I did seduce the love of my life in them, tut, tut, I was wearing a little black dress.  Yeah I still got that too, probably wouldn’t fit on my leg now!  I only painted them pink because it the colour of SOC, der!  I am quite glad that in my dream the flower didn’t smell, because, it would not have been so pleasant for my beauty if the shoes smelt.

My Giveaway Journal

  This is the next spread of the journal I am making for my give away at the end of the month.  If you would like to go into the draw please leave a comment, I will randomly pick from the comments of posts during July.

 

This week I was inspired by Pablo Picasso’s quote: “Everything you can imagine is real.”

More Postcards

 

As well I am giving away two postcards each week to a blogger who leaves a comment.  Last week the winner was Kat of Creations, she chose Princess and Hollyhocks.  So they will winging their way to her next week. (the postcards are on my Postcards page, Tab at top)

I have become addicted to making postcards and did 4 more during the week.  They will also be available to winners of the draw)

The other thing I did this week was 7 more icads, I will post them tomorrow as I think that this is more than long enough!
