A Special Gift

Hey there!  Hope you're all doing very well!  It's getting warmer and warmer here in town, and I'm wishing that a cold front would come and give us another treat again before the 110 degree temps start setting in.  I enjoy the chilly weather rather than the intense heat!  hehe!

Okay, so it's time for another Lili's Little Fairies challenge and this week it is "Diamonds and Pearls".  So very pretty right?!  I enjoyed this as well!

For You

Hello there!  Hope you are all doing very well!  It's time once again for a new Lili's Little Fairies Challenge .. this week it is "Transport".  Yes .. "Transport".  I know it's self explanatory, now that I REALIZE what it is .. lol!  I swear the Lili Girls must've thought I was nuts when I asked, "What do you mean by transport?"  OMG ... haha!!!  But I asked if fairy wings would be considered as transport .. and luckily yes yes yes it is!  haha!

So here's my little fairy with her transporting wings ... (smile):

I tried shading her dress a lot darker black than I normally do and I gained that inspiration from my dear friend Dena!  I love her work!  And although my colouring is no where near her scope of work ... I enjoyed trying this!  Thank you Dena!!!

Enjoy Life

Hi there!  Hope you are all enjoying your week so far.  It's been reallllly windy here for the past 3 days, and I think today it's slowly simmered a little bit.  We had gusts up to 60mph, and if you could picture me trying to pull my car door shut while that strong wind is blowing .. yea .. you can go ahead and laugh.  lol!  I swear I must've looked like a fool!  That wind felt like it was going to rip my car door right off!  Wow!
