Hi, and welcome to my little corner of COLOURlovers. I'm so happy to be here – this place is Inspiration Central! I can generally be found hanging around, spending some quality window shopping time browsing (and loving) your amazing palettes and patterns, or enjoying some relaxing art play time making some of my own.

Please know that I cherish every single love, fave, comment, and follow that you give me. (My CL emails are always read before any others.) I’ve met loads of kindred spirits here; this wonderful community is the absolute best ever! ♥♥♥ Pia

〜 Did you notice my May quotes are all reading related? Right now, I’m enjoying J. K. Rowling’s The Casual Vacancy. I was interested to see what this next book of hers (after Harry Potter) would be like, and so far, I’m not disappointed.
〜 I haven’t had as much time for reading or art as I would prefer lately. I’ve been spending more time with my Mom, whose health is not great. She recently asked me to take over all her bill paying for her; and I’ve been going through all that paperwork, getting things straightened out.
〜 My 36th wedding anniversary is on the 7th of this month. All I can say is, that sure went fast – seems like we got married about 10 years ago! We have a little sign on our fridge that says, “Every couple goes through sh*t, but soulmates are the ones who come out of it holding hands and offering to buy each other a beer.” Yup, that about says it. ♥♥♥

Profile Photo: Meet da Vinci; he works at the library here. Don't be shy – shake his paw. Like most terriers, he's quite intelligent, and more than a little bit stubborn. He's very good at sniffing out the best art books and he'll fetch coffee too, if he likes you. Don't let his reading glasses and teddy bear demeanor fool you into thinking he's a pushover, though. He can be ferocious if he catches anyone disrespecting his books. (In case you were wondering, yes, da Vinci is part of my rich and satisfying fantasy life.)
