These are a few of my favorite things....

C O L O R !

my top three favorites: pink, turquoise, lime green

for my car: black (unless it's a vintage convertible-then most definately it should be pink or turquoise!)

for my dream home: white with black shutters, rasberry red front door, perwinkle blue ceilings

for my clothes: ALL colors!

for my shoes: ALL colors- but I am quite partial to red, green, and all animal prints

for my paintings: you'll see a little of everything, but with lot's of my top three colors!

What are your favorite colors?

My plans were to show you some fun & colorful photos of my home and studio- but, I am still having trouble with my pictures- I hope to get all the "kinks" worked out this weekend! SO, for some great inspiration in the color department, please visit the artist Sara Mincy's blog!

A New Favorite!

Did ya'll hear? TWO of my favorite magazines and sources of great inspiration are gone! Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion ( my absolute favorite- I have EVERY issue!) & Country Home. What's a girl to do??......Well, this girl searched and found a new absolute favorite.....

are you ready....

Life:Beautiful

go visit their website http://www.lifebeautifulmagazine.com/ look around, you'll love it!

The quality of pictures, inspiration, articles and ideas are just the best!- even better, it's a Christian magazine, so well done, after all -isn't God the ultimate author of beauty?

I hope you enjoy this little treat as much as I do! (and I think you will!) Oh, and for those of you wondering - No, I don't work for the magazine, nor am I getting something for advertising it, I am simply spreading a little joy!

Have a lovely day & many blessings!

p.s. if you are related to me, don't subscribe to this magazine just yet- you never know what "gift" may show up in the mail. :)
