Blue paint for walls in the bedroom...
Blue forgetmenots in flower, in the garden......
Blue cornflowers that I have given a head start in the green house......
Blue beads bought with the intention of making myself a new necklace to wear....
A blue book I've been reading in the bath....
And the beautiful moon in a blue tinged twilight sky, last night's view from our garden.....
I do so love blue.The children finished school for their Easter break, so not alot of drawing or painting of pictures has taken place. So, let me tell you a tale of something that begun a little while ago....
A couple of months ago a lady named Sara Harley contacted me and asked me if I would like to submit a picture of a cat or dog for a charity book called 'PAWS FOR CHARITY' It was to be produced in aid of breast cancer. I submitted my Magic Cat picture......
and a few weeks later was lucky enough to be chosen to be included in the book. Please stop by at Sara's blog to hear about the artists that are involved and of course to see the book which is available to buy at Blurb. It is filled with beautiful pictures of cats and dogs, and money raised from the book will go to a Breast Cancer Charity that does not use animals in their testing.
If I don't manage to get on here again before Sunday, then I wish everyone that stops by and reads here a very Happy Easter! x
