Really pretty...
And now for today's "Pink" offering:
One of my favorite signs...
My daughter April and her family are doing the Race for the Cure this week-end - so this is for my Mother, my Grandmother and Me :-)
I know at first what you see is the orange, but I love the pink flowers and it is one of my favorite (early) photos of my darling little family: Andy (my biker dude) then Jeff (my CNN reported "decorated-cubicle at work winner") , Brandi, Ella Ireland's Mommy, and my sweet and oh-so-smart April, the leader of the pack.
If you look closely, I covered the canvas's with telephone-book pages, then did a watered-down paint/stain wash, used rub-ons as well as sticker-letters and typed the words out in strips. It is one of my favorite pieces.
Speaking of Ella Ireland, this is one of her sweet shirts that I have hanging up in my art room. She lives in New Jersey, so I need to feel I have a little bit of her with me in physical world (all of the grands live away, so I do always carry them in my heart!)
So, that's my offering on a beautiful gray day in Utah. Hope you all have "pink" in your day and in your lives.
Have a great week-end all!

Welcome to your first Pink Saturday, Colleen.
I love your sign, and I love the philosophy. Good for you to keep things around that remind you of those you love.
I pray that one day the cures for all cancers will be found. Until then, we keep on fighting.
I loved your sign and your story..have a wonderful week-end..
Thank you for sharing your story. I have two friends who are survivors, and I am inspired by them, too. You take good care of yourself.
I L.O.V.E. that opening banner. Old wood...Old lock....I can never think to take a picture of something so simple as that. I like old. Hey....I am old. Although I'm trying hard not to notice it. :)
Hi Colleen!! I love that sign!
Happy Pink Saturday!
Besitos desde Argentina!!

The pinks are nice; Ella's shirt is too cute; I think your new banner is so cool! It's just perfect for you. Of course, I will always enjoy any banners with you and/or Randy in them! Take care.
Happy Pink Saturday! Your sign is really cute as are your other pinks. We are having a gray day today in PA also.
