A Challenge


Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.
-Hellen Keller

A beautiful quote from a beautiful woman who faced more suffering than I could even imagine. Yet she finds hope in overcoming her physical challenges....Just something to reflect on and chew over in my mind.....


This gorgeous photo is the Tuesday Trigger over at Moxie Fab World Blog. After I saw this photo, I knew that I had to play along this week.  The photo speaks of a fresh spring day. I love the bright beautiful yellow color on that shabby looking door and the small bright pop of pink from the flowers. And just off to the side, a pair of rain boots, a necessary accessory for a rainy spring time day.....



                                    And here is my interpretation of the photo:

A beautifully shabby card to usher in spring...... I used the color scheme of pink from the flowers, yellow from the door, and black from the rain boots in the photo.


It also gave me the opportunity to use some stamps that I had bought a year ago and was just waiting for the perfect opportunity to use.  

Thanks for dropping by my little blog today.

P.S.  Just found a perfect recipe for Broccoli Cheese Soup. I cooked it up this week and it was delicious, it tastes just like Panera's Soup. Loved it....hope you will give it a try too :)
