Butterflies

I suppose I could enter most of my designs for the Take a word butterflies challenge -  since I use butterflies all the time, but this one though is hot off the press ;-) I just love the burnt orange - it makes me happy!!!

Daffodils

I am always so excited to see the first daffodil bloom in my garden and in the words of William Wordsworth - "then my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils" So when I saw the Spring challenge at Theme Thursday, my first thought was daffodils. The daffodil image is a black and white drawing from Graphics Fairy - I just love to experiment with various techniques to add colour to these drawings.

Must love cats

Even though I am allergic to cats, I simply love them - just look at that adorable face! My entry for the nature's creatures challenge at Three Muses.

The sweet smell of lilac

Don't you just love the smell of lilac? There is something so romantic about a vintage perfume bottle with an atomizer - I wouldn't mind a whole collection of those! I am linking to Brag Monday, the perfume card, background and perfume bottle are courtesy of Graphics Fairy.

New Beginnings

Just a few lines to wish you a happy 2011 - I am slowly starting to get into the swing of things and will be back in full force next week. Until then, I leave you with this . . ."From small beginnings come great things"
