Fantastically beautiful scarf! Brilliant in so many ways:>) I think "all of the above" color our lives. People and things that we hold dear and that put a sparkle in our eye.

how beautiful the scarf and how lovely the thought!

You are sharing such vibrant colors here, and pretty photos of the colored pencils and the handmade scarf and more.
I see your blog begins with the same first three words of my book's title, a nice coincidence. Or as I say, a Godincidence.
