Colour My World

1 Colourful

As time goes on,
I realize
Just what you mean
To me
And now,
Now that you’re near,
Promise your love
That I’ve waited to share
And dreams
Of our moments together
Color my world with hope of loving you

~ Lyrics from “Colour My World” by Chicago

It’s a kind of sad and haunting love song, but how many tunes do you know that have an epic flute solo?

If you need a little colour to brighten your life, make sure you visit the stores participating in this month’s round of The Challenge. The post isn’t up quite yet with all of the lovely, colourful creations, but keep checking – the event has just opened so you can just store-hop to see all of the goodies.

[Black Tulip] brings you this colourful cat-themed set, and 22769 ~ [bauwerk] offers the boudoir chair in several eye-popping colours. Kuro gives us not only the mind-blowing artwork as part of a colourful set (with a chair I’m not showing) plus the adorable Fishing Cat clock at this month’s OneWord event, set to open on September 1st.

Go forth. Colour your world. With cats and bright hues.

Flutes are kinda sad, ya know 😉

Munchies

1 Munchies

A perfect evening…sitting in front of the television, watching a rerun of “I Love Lucy” and chomping down some snacks. I may or may not be blaming my attack of the munchies on the lovely foliage adorning my living room 😉

The Challenge has begun again, and you can get most of the goodies decorating this scene during this round of Vintage/Retro. The television from %Percent comes pre-loaded with several classic shows and includes not only poses, but snacks! Despite the pizza and Coke you can see pictured, I’m actually chowing down on a wholesome bowl of berries. Even better, it is discounted until August 7th, so hurry on over! Chic Aeon of Chic Buildings took a cheeky spin on retro with her “medicinal herbs” in a can and Kuro’s Luana Dawg brings out the inner hippie in us all with her beaded curtains. Finishing off The Challenge offerings is the rug from part of a set from [Fetch].

Of course, I will provide you with links to each store, but you can click on The Challenge link above to see all of the goodies in this round.

Now, has anybody seen my Milk Duds? I need chocolate!

Memories In The Attic

1 Army_018

A trip up to the attic to clear out the cobwebs turns into a visit down memory lane. She can hear the whispers of forgotten ancestors in the letters and mementos she finds. This is not junk to be discarded; this is a personal history of those who have passed.

This month’s theme for The Challenge is Army Style. There are a lot of items you can find to help create your own military theme. Or perhaps, create your own memories.
