It's all about compromise

or perhaps I have been invaded by the Pink Fairy.
It was with much amazement that in my travels taking the pre-teen to her new school yesterday morning, I spotted a rather pink car parked a wee way up the road. Even though I was turning to head in the opposite direction my mind absorbed the details (over & above it's vibrant colour!) & realised that it was the shape of times past.
So later I came home, grabbed my camera & went & took a photo of it!



OK - so it's not a colour I'd choose for a beauty like this - but the very first thought that went through my head was "Hey that'd be the perfect combination for the "Mallory & Deb" version of Thelma & Louise. The mailleman later asked if he could be Brad - I said "nope , the 3rd person would have to be Ang"! Of course our road trip would have a far better ending....probably with Ang & I deciding what the next colour should be ;o)

As if that is not enough pink for one year - today I made a trip to the dreaded mall to get myself some business supplies....doesn't that sound professional?? (actually it was a Portfolio to help with planning my time). Of course I was in a book store so just couldn't help but notice some interesting titles as I went past the shelves.
The title caught my attention - then I realised that the book was pink.



"With a title like "Can we help it if we're fabulous?" - who could resist. Picking it up & glancing inside I found myself letting out not so subtle sounds of barely suppressed laughter. I suspect I am going to have to buy this book very soon - even if it is pink!

Two Lovely Ladies have led me astray!

In the Pink + Green of Perfection Treasury


I managed to snag a Treasury on Etsy a day or so ago – Shock Horror – it’s Pink & Green! It’s bright ….very bright!

I’ve been converted…kind of, & I’m blaming it on Ang & Mallory! Not particularly sure I can justify the placing of blame – but hey it feels good to do so. Maybe I should have blamed it on the person who wants a pink & green bead for his girlfriend for getting me started – but is so much more inspirational, not to mention fun, to place it on a person who is known for her love of pink & another who provides us with photographs of a certain Green "Dragon Energy Goddess "against such “unnaturally” pink flora.

What started as a single little green & pink bead has turned into something more – oh so much more.

It has snowballed into a “pink-and-green-athon” - & I’m left sitting here wondering what happened to my “orange” gene. We shall see about that ;o)
