Shelly Clark - Can I say that your photos just make me happy? I mean, it can be a photo of a mug on a counter, and it will make me smile. I think I am the most colorful of all my friends, but then I look at you, and your home, and I think, wow, my life is so plain. Thank you for bringing the sunshine every single day.

Jackie - All of that color makes me smile!
Lisa M. - What awesome, amazing color! What’s even more amazing is that it all came from the Craft House, right? I’m sure that makes for a very inspiring weekend for all your crafters! I especially loved the gumball machine picture with the globe in the background.
And yay for running! My business and my husband’s business has been so busy there has been no “me” time, so running has been put on the back burner 🙁 I am going to do 5K in April (nothing compared to a 1/2 marathon, I know) so I need to get out and start running again!

Penny - Beautiful color! I cannot wait for spring. It’s nice to see at least a couple of you out there are still blogging! I was re-visiting an old magazine, which I do a lot, Flea Market Style, Summer 2010. You were one of the blogs listed, and I am just now finding you. I hope this comes through from my blogland to yours. I can’t wait to come back for more beautiful color! Thank you, Penny

Tiffany - I love your creative eye and all those blasts of color through your craft house. YES, I got to craft today! It felt so good! Thankful for a snow day and a little one that took a 3 hour nap.

tinaehb3 - I loved the color blasts 🙂 I’m trying to knit a scarf. Only my second project since trying this….it’s definitely going to take me more than a day 🙂
Angela A - Thank you! I love your blasts of color! That’s what brought me to your blog. I worked on a quilt and finished it today. I have another one waiting behind it, but I think I need to add a few blasts of color at my own house, and work out a better system to take quilt pictures outside. And go to work.
