Seriously Blown Away!

S-E-R-I-O-U-S-L-Y

excited that Ree (aka The Pioneer Woman) selected another one of my photos for her photography assignment.

After my Gray Kitty picture was selected a couple of weeks ago I was floored, and now to have another one in her "green" challenge is just, well, overwhelming!

Funny thing about it is that this picture was part of my own little color challenge from last year around this time.  Several friends from online and IRL had gotten together to do a photo color challenge on Flickr just to stretch our creative juices.  Of course I don't have the bazillion readers of my sad, pitiful little blog like Pioneer Woman and am unable to give out sweet prizes so our little challenge didn't go over quite like hers do! ;)

We did have fun though I must say!  Here is a glimpse of our green photos:

When she announced her "green" challenge, it made me a little reminiscent of our Color Fun challenge and I went back on our Flickr group to give our pics another look-see...that was a fun little walk down memory lane!  Give it a whirl if the urge hits you.

And be sure to submit your own GREEN photo - you might be blogging about being blown away by getting selected next! :)

Green Food

I guess I have had green on the brain this week, what with the Color Fun and St. Patrick's Day and all, I'm even eating green! That along with the fact that I am on my "diet" or in the words of Dr. J, "a food reduction plan". I'm not big on the word diet! Anyway, I grabbed the camera to capture my green photos. Last night's green bell peppers for the one skillet spaghetti dish that we love. and the "oh my goodness yummy" fresh asparagus that I could eat every single day! Okay, so I got a little crafty last weekend and whipped out this page using some of the Retro Modern collection from SIS Boutique.

And I cannot believe I have not reported about my big win!!!!!
OMG, I'm so excited!!!!
Run, don't walk over to Scrapscene.
I've been getting Angie's daily emails for over and year. She always has the latest products, trends, techniques, and designers....and she has contests to win products and kits.

Guess who won a Crazy Daisy Kit?
Yep, it was me. Here is a little sneaky peeky of the yumminess! I had never heard of this kit club, but they are cool: each kit has a mini-book.
I love mini-books, so I'm anxious to see it.

She will be starting a new contest tomorrow, so again, go check out Scrapscene.
You might be the next winner!

I took lots of new pictures last Sunday of Im (prounounced "M") the dog. (remember him?) I'll try to get some posted this week...he is so playful & precious!

In honor of St. Patrick's Day

So tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day and although I'm not as huge of a fan of the holiday as my friend Karla, I still enjoy the day - especially all the green.

Thanks to Mandie's suggestion, this week's color fun is GREEN!

Here are mine so far:

There are already tons of good ones uploaded to the Color Fun Flickr Pool.
Go check them out.
And while you're there, join the group and upload some of your own green photos!

I'll put together another mosaic this week featuring all the fun yellow photos. There were some really good submissions.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
