oday is Pink Saturday and Bev from How Sweet The Sound is hosting another pink day. Please stop by and visit all the pink posts.
Sooooooooo here's what happens...
Spoonflower announces a new contest.
I take the theme, like Windows and Doors,
and I begin to design.
Then one thing,
leads to another,
and another,
and another...
Then I end up with so many designs,
that I hardly know which one to enter.
Then I remember a valuable lesson...
It really doesn't matter if you win or not,
when you are in love with the process,
of creation.Let me always remember that it is not important to win awards
and accolades. But rather to feel the joy of sharing the gifts
given to me by the Grace of God to honor Him, the Great Creator.
What a gorgeous theme in life to always remember God in all that we do. Songs I first heard when I lived in Hong Kong made me fall in love with the music. The song for this post is a Gorgeous Theme.
Please take home any image that you might like to use, as my gift. The name of this design is Happy Hong Kong Washline. I wanted the design to make you feel the happiness which I found while living in Hong Kong...among the people, the places, and the music.
You are beautiful, sweet friend! I am going to save your images and enjoy them! I love giving God credit for the beauty and inspiration that surrounds us. Thank you! ♥
I love the image of the beautiful tunics hanging outside the big windows with the geraniums on the sill the very best! Good luck in the contest Karen:>) You are already a winner in my book!
I love the original piece you cut up and had such fun playing with
:-D
It's gorgeous, Karen! Such an inspiring and generous post!!!
Hugs,

How bright and cheerful. I love the clothes on the line and the vivid colors. I know nothing of Hong Kong, but perhaps I'd recognize it having seen your artwork. Love that quote! It fits you to a tee!
Hello Karen,
Wow! You are a genius!
I really love the one with the windows and the jackets hanging.
Good luck!

Incredible as always. You would have my vote!
Hi Karen,
What beautiful images you have shown today ~ thank you for your kindness and showing us all this beauty.
I was amazed at the washing lines in HongKong, all the clothes were hanging out the windows and on the decks. I had not seen anything like it.
Have a happy weekend
Hugs

Happy Pink Saturday Karen Sweetie...
Oh my goodness what a beautiful post you have today. I love your creations. It looks like you have put all your laundry out on the line.
Sort of how we do with our faith, we put our hearts out there, and know through faith that God is going to wash it and clean it, and make it all new again.
Oh Karen I love this share. You will always ne a winner in my book. Thank you for sharing with us first.
Many hugs and so much love, Sherry
What lovely images you came up with. You have such a wonderful attitude it's no wonder they're so pretty.

How cute is your creation! The way you shared it with us it fun! Happy PS!
Hi karen, I'm back to visiting in blogland. And I am a happy blogger once again. This summer has been a trial to keep blogging and responding to my visitors. Now I am home with nothing on the calendar until October.
I adore your process and the result of this work of art for a contest. Everything is lovely and I can see a happy memory for you. My fave is the window with the geraniums. Gorgeous!!!
Keep on creating Karen and we can all share your lovely works of art.
Have a wonderful day and happy PS.
Hugs, Jeanne
