Please come to Boston in the spring time.......

RUNNING SHOES

What do they represent to you?

Athletes?

Training?

Performance?

Determination?

Goals?

Dreams?

Anticipation?

Stride?

Balance?

Fitness?

Sweat?

Practice?

Muscles?

Pride?

Marathons?

Whatever they happen to represent to you - they should never represent running.....................

for your life.

Some days it's just impossible to write up a post -
Some days what's happening in North America is just too much -
Some days it's all you can do to remain hopeful about what's happening to this continent -

Prayers for Boston -
and deeply felt sorrow.............
Terrorism will never win.
Never.

Here's the story............

Of a lovely lady................

who was bringing up 2 very lovely girls

both of them were black and white - just like their mother
the youngest one with swirls...............

THIS was the reason I decided to go black and white on this set - I thought it would tie in nicely with a  crisp black french graphic

If you're looking for a lazy quick way to get a dark color in the crevices of fancy molding -
I usually paint the moldings black first

then paint the white over it - leaving it showing through as much ( or as little ) as you like
in this photo I still needed touch up the white here and there - but you get the idea

Now I'm hoping that this lady meets a fellow
Quickly

What?
Did you think I'd start the week off without leaving some sort of lame song in your brain for the day?
Uh Uh - no way - not me!

Tomorrow I'm sharing some pink loveliness!

Have a good Monday all
and they knew that it was much more than a hunch...........................

And a little reminder of how she looked before -
