What colors make you feel good?  Are there certain colors that bring out certain emotions? I love bright colors; because a sister from church once told me "changing the colors of your clothes will change your mood."  This was back in 1996; after my marriage was over.  I was so angry and bitter. When I could afford to buy clothes, I bought blacks, navy, and browns. I didn't do it conscientiously, but because that was my mood. crazy right?  After that revelation, I started buying bright colors; mostly purple and pink.  Now, I see that that was so true. Thank you Lady Carol, that tip saved my essence.  Now, I really love pink; its my power color. When I feel like i'm getting down or just feeling extra menopausal, I put on some pink.

    My power color is purple (which happens to be my favorite color and the color of my birthstone.) I love seeing it, wearing it, and creating with it. However, lately I noticed that I love that bright neon green too.

    I went through some hard times years ago after graduation and moving on after a break up. (I call it my "Blue Period," lol All I wore was navy blue jeans, shirts, jackets 24/7. However, I took some advice, kinda like Lady Carol's and started wearing colors again. You're right!It will change your outlook! Sorry for rambling, but it was a great post!

    Hi Cheryl L.

    You are not rambling at all. During my dark days, I wore the same three dark colors. I hair was a mess and my children were unhappy; and it showed. We all have our dark times; but then the Lord always sends us a life preserver. Some times it's in a person or even a tragic story on the news. I believe that if we as women encourage each other, the world will be a much better place. Lady Carol was a solid sister for me during my dark days. As I look back on those times now, all I can say is "Thank you Lord"

    Thanks again Cheryl. Please stop by often.

    Peace and Blessing 2UIJN

Scraps of Color "Christmas in July" Blog Hop: Day 1

By
My Christmas in July 2013 My Pink Journey CHRISTMAS IN JULY: DAY 1 One Sunday night (I guess it was actually early Monday morning) in July, I had a bad case of insomnia and was fooling around on eBay.  I saw that there was a bid on a new Pink Journey Cricut Expression Bundle that was about to end and the price was like 40 bucks. I was like; No way. The Bundle included 3 cartridges; one of which was the Pink Journey Champagne Rose Solution cartridge. So, I bid $56 and won the bid.  That was such a great deal simply because the Pink Journey cartridge sells for about that; at least on eBay.  Below is the layout that I created to commemorate the purchase LAYOUT 1 Solid Cardstock is Recollections Patterned Paper is Stampin Up!

SOC CELEBRATE #8 BLOG HOP: DAY 3

By
WELCOME BACK to the Scraps of Color Celebrate #8 Blog Hop I've Been Accepted!!    I can remember when my daughter and I were reading about colleges and she told me that she only wanted to go to a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) .  I was thinking, praise God TSU (Tennessee State University) here she comes. DING-DONG-WRONG! She said that she wanted to go to Alabama A&M in Huntsville. Then the prayer wheel started turning. " Lord, you said that you would supply all of our needs according to your riches" and you said that "What things we desire, when we pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them".        Now, she had some struggles in high school and was at best a B- to C+ student . Even though she would study and work hard; she had trouble. School just did not come easy to her; but her common sense and work ethic was ON POINT. Believe that. Nevertheless, Alexis only applied to one school. She ha...

To God Be the glory for the things he has done. I give him praise for healing me and for the courage and hope that i received from my mom and my grandmother.  Yes, Lord we need a cure.  My prayers and ...
