I was very happy to see Misty’s list of prompts for this week, especially since I was already thinking of embellishing my unfinished pink page! So I made it a double page spread and combined two projects in one.
Ingredients:
One pre-painted pinkish wash page, and another that could be pinkified with tissue paper and fabrics.
Assorted pink fabrics and such.
Mini-photos – I hope y’all don’t mind that I printed tiny little pictures of some of you for this project in my journal. I also hope you don’t mind that I added rosy pink cheeks in honor of pink day. (If you do mind, please let me know ant I'll take care of it.)
Some heartfelt emotions and lots of gratitude. Please visit Tina, Jane, Mystele, MizKatie, PCarriker, Stampmaiden, Red Tin Heart, Danielle Marie, Enchanted Curious, Joanne, Deirdra, and of course, Misty. Marilyn, I wish you had a blog so everyone could see your beautiful collages!

In other news: I will be participating in One World One Heart and my giveaway is ready! I’ve never done this before, so I hope I can figure it out correctly. Photo in the next post!Yesterday Emily finished her Christmas present for me that she made in her ceramics class. It went through a few glaze trial and errors. She finally settled on this glossy turquoise paint and I LOVE IT!!! I even love it with the bow. My girl knows how I love my quirky ceramics!
Also yesterday, I went with Deirdra and Gay to the River Gallery in Independence to drop off some entries for their annual Wild Woman show. Walking in and seeing the amazing work that other people had already brought in, I quickly had second thoughts about entering anything. But I went ahead and signed up, and today I got the phone call that both my pieces had been accepted! Phew! I framed up two of my color pages I’ve been doing for Misty’s challenge: Red, and Yellow. Red got a pretty, traditional little gold frame, but I painted and decorated a frame for Yellow. Here it is:
Final note for the day: tomorrow (which is now today), Barack Obama officially becomes our president – the day after Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Wow. Wouldn't Dr. King have tears of joy in his eyes?!

The pink piece is just beautiful! I'm honored that you put my pic in there with the others. I love the layers and the concept.
Thank you for sharing.

OMG just read this post and I hadn't realized that you incorporated US into your art - baby that is so cool. I am so impressed with your "SPIRIT" I can feel and hear your happiness - seems impossible through the computer but even in your art can I see that you are fulfilled. Awesome...
I know asked before but any artsy retreats you going to this year? I would love to come out and spend the weekend in your home town and visit with all our MISTY girls...let me know what life looks like down the line for you this year....
BTW - I love your yellow framed piece - looks so commercial - but still so artistic.
PS - Happy to hear my charm is being worn - I am glad it brings you some comfort.
Take care - check out my pages for this week so far - I did a little tribute to our NEW PRESIDENTE - love it - so not hte ordinary this time.
