Hello friends!<\/p>\n

Many of you are participating in or following along with the 52 Weeks – Focus on Life<\/strong> challenge. \u00a0Can you believe it’s the half-way<\/em> point already? \u00a0I don’t know how that happened. \u00a0Although I haven’t participated every week, I’ve enjoyed jumping in as often as I can. \u00a0For Week 26, our challenge was a great big “?”. \u00a0 We’re picking our own photo prompt this week & I can’t wait to see what others are choosing. \u00a0 You can find links to the participant’s posts right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My prompt for the week is color crush<\/strong>. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

You may have seen this pretty 3 Region Blend bag at your local Starbucks. \u00a0See that color combination? \u00a0It captures the palette that I have been crazy about all Spring and now Summer. \u00a0It’s that gray + ______ \u00a0(fill in a color) that I like in particular. \u00a0Gray + teal, gray + coral, and gray with just about anything, especially pale colors. \u00a0 Pink + gray was my favorite combination in the 80’s – any of you remember that one? \u00a0One year my locker had stickers and decorations entirely made of this color scheme.<\/p>\n

Here is a picture I pinned<\/a> a while back that perfectly captures my color crush:<\/p>\n

With these colors in mind, I went on to make a necklace starting with a foundation of gray quartz beads and a mix of those great colors.<\/p>\n

And here’s an impromptu snapshot of an outfit to wear with the new necklace \u00a0(love Garnet Hill dresses!) –<\/p>\n

Now speaking of color crushes, I have a resource that I have to share with you in case you haven’t heard! \u00a0Did you see the color maven herself has a brand new book? \u00a0 Brandi Hussey just launched her new book, Understanding Color: \u00a0Color Theory Made Easy<\/a>. \u00a0<\/em>Thanks to Brandi, we can all learn more about color in an approachable way. \u00a0I’ve been enjoying my digital copy and was excited to receive my hard copy in the mail today!<\/p>\n

Til next time –<\/p>\n

Cindy, xoxo<\/p>\n
