I laughed when I saw the color of this blouse listed as “Olive Drab”. On what planet?!

It’s more like “Nuclear Margarita” to me!

It was perfect for the Color Challenge this week, though, so I am happy with it. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the Challengers come up with; everyone is so creative!

Have a great weekend everyone…

Teal was the chosen color this week for the Challenge. I kept looking at this skirt, seeing teal, then not seeing teal. It’s definitely in the blouse, but I think the teal that happens in the skirt is a phenomena of optical mixing. (And there is your art lesson for the day, kids.)

Next week’s color is Electric Lime. I better start working on that one as soon as possible!

Sending out love to all of my Color Challenge-ing friends this week! Isn’t it fun to be doing this together? I always look forward to seeing what we all come up with each week, and even though I don’t always respond to every comment, I am delighted to hear from you whenever you leave a note. (I’m getting better at leaving OOooh & Ahhh notes in comment sections, too. Yay me!)

Have a Happy Valentine’s weekend friends!

I got wrangled into the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge, which is cool because it gives me a chance to show off these choice leathers from Immerschoen. I’m so comfortable in them that I am starting to wish Immerschoen made a tuxedo.

If black is one of your favorites (it is one of mine) — you might also like this web page: All About the Color BLACK – Sensational Color.

See ya next time I’m wrangled!

“Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream” she said
“The one that makes me laugh” she said
And threw her arms around my neck
“Show me how you do it and I promise you
I promise that I’ll run away with you
I’ll run away with you…”

~ The Cure, “Just Like Heaven”

The perfect song to play while keeping that New Year’s resolution of working out at the gym 4 times a week. *cough*
Ah, thank goodness Mondays are made for fresh starts!
