Another Win!

It is my lucky week I guess!
I have won another giveaway.

Luckily, my gal pal Mandie saw the post, because I somehow missed it.
(it will teach me not to "mark all as read" on my Google Reader when it seems so overwhelming.)

Anyway, if you have not checked out the kits that Kerry Lynn and her team has put together at Kenner Road, you are missing out on some dandy stuff! She has a knack for mixing new with vintage and each kit has unique finds. The team is loaded with talent and I always feel inspired after seeing their creations.

Check out the blog, they are always having giveaways.
They have a Facebook too (for all my FB friends!) ;)

Here is my win:

*swoon*

Cannot wait to get ahold of this one!

I love to be a winner and not a loser!

Oh, and I finally did a mosaic of the yellow pictures.
(not all of them, I can only do 36 at a time)

How happy does that make you?

Get in on the Green color fun! Post them here to the flickr group.

more yellow....and upcoming event

Some mid-week yellow photos.
I was so excited about doing bright yellow this week, what with the awesome spring weather we were having.
That is until today when it was like 20 degrees or something.
UGH!
Snow and/or ice is being predicted for tonight and tomorrow.
What is up with that?
Anyway, I will continue my journey of bright yellow this week and hope that it continues to perk me up like only bright yellow can do! :)

This yellow paint makes me feel happy.
Who doesn't love some yellow paint?

This is some leftoever heavy electrical cord from ice storm, generator hookups.This is just some thing random that was broken in the back yard. I honestly have no clue what it is but I'm guessing it belongs to the hubs.

Tomorrow I do my duty as stepmom of an eleventh grader: Decorate for Prom.
Hurrah.
Prom will be Friday and I hope to snag some pictures at some point - of course that will require perfect timing on my behalf in order to capture the group during dinner or the meeting spot for all the girls and boys to meet up and ride together.
Wish me luck with that!

Any color suggestions for next week?

Yellow blooming

I am seriously loving all the interpretations of color over at the flickr color fun group.
Really, you should join in this week for bright yellow!
The colors are starting to pop out and these are the days I love to get my camera to clicking!

You knew I would have to photograph the jonquils to kick off bright yellow color week!
I was also pleasantly surprised to see the forsythia beginning to bloom at Mom's today and thought the yellow looked splendid against the bright blue sky!
Ahhhhh ...these are the days I long for:
warmth & sunshine. I could have done without the crazy wind, but I can live with that!

I now have a clean car, whoopie!
I'm bad to let my car go through the winter without cleaning her out.
It was a chore, but well worth the effort this afternoon.

We had a nice cookout at Tony & Jennifer's - grilled burgers. Yum!
Their neighbors brought over some homemade deer sausage... DElightful!
Finally met the other Kim. What a sweetie.
Good times. I love spring/summer cook-outs.

Of course, with longer days come shorter nights.
It's already 9 o'clock. I really need to get myself ready to call it a night - losing that hour kicks my butt!
I am hoping this perfect weather will last.
bring on a new week!

all things bright & sunny!

I will post the remainder of my hot pink pictures this weekend, but wanted to go ahead and post a new color for the upcoming week.

In honor of our time change for daylight savings tonight, let's do bright yellow! You know like we will get to enjoy more sunshininess in the evening - spring is coming - jonquils, Happy Faces, joyful yellow!

Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

edited: okay Mandie was right that bright yellow was a little hard on the eyes. sorry blog readers.
