After my green phase a few posts ago, Vanessa suggested I try doing an orange theme. Jo read that post and has jumped into orange herself (see her post today for some interesting information on the colour orange and some scrumptious photos). As I've been quite low over the last week, avoiding my studio and life in general, doing nothing creative, the search for orange seemed like a very therapeutic idea. Especially since orange is associated with healing, vitality, enthusiasm, creativity, and exploration. I've been keeping my eyes open over the past several days for orange and realize that we have no orange in our garden (the photo above is from another garden) and very few orange possessions. I did manage to cobble together an orange collage using some things I found around the house. Some of the objects are obvious and some less so. Can you identify them all?
The appreciation to which I referred in my title is the appreciation and warm fuzzy glow that I felt when I received a nomination for a Brillante Weblog Award from Vanessa today. How nice! It's great to be appreciated and the idea is to spread that appreciation around the blogosphere! Here are the rules:
- Put the logo on your blog
- Add a link to the person who nominated you
- Nominate at least 7 other blogs
- Add links to those blogs on your blog
- Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs
So thanks Vanessa! And here are my 7 nominated blogs:
- mystory
- ronna's blog
- red red day
- ro bruhn art
- carol crafts
- judy wise
- shayla perreault newcomb
