This is my favorite recent
yard sale purchase.  It's an old rustic 3-1/2' fruit stand sign that's just perfect on the fence in my garden.  I love the way the paint is peeling. 

Challenging Myself with a Creative Color Challenge!

In December, I participated in my first swap!  It was Louise Gale's Creative Color Challenge and consisted of making three ornaments to swap with others.  The challenge was to create using only gold, red and green (black and white too).  It was such fun creating ornaments to send out and then receiving wonderful handmade ornaments from Puerto Rico, Canada and California.  Louise's latest Creative Color Challenge is taking place now.  It's to create a piece of art to swap, using a pair complementary colors.  The theme is Blooms, Flowers and Fauna.  I'm working on a collage and will share it later after it's been mailed out.  It's due to be mailed out on Monday so I'd better get busy!........I always did work better under pressure!
