Color me happy...

...at Color Me Mine!

I definitely am not, 

nor will I ever be,

very artistic.

Let's face it:

drawing stick figures 

is a stretch for me.

 But I have found a way

to let my inner artist

be expressed.

Color Me Mine 

is my favorite form of therapy,

and a little therapy never hurts!

I have been several times now

and each time I leave

I feel happy and content.

I was able to go yesterday with

Cindi, Jen, Stacie, and Steve.

It was the end of a long week, 

and being able to sit and chat, 

sometimes quietly, 

sometimes not so much,

while working on our pieces

was just what the doctor ordered.

The first time I painted a 

mini round chip and dip bowl,

the second time I painted a 

mini square chip and dip plate, 

but I'm most excited about

what I made last night.

I made a chip and dip platter, 

and a small square plate.

I planned out the colors to use

on the chip and dip platter

very carefully, and then,

with a helpful suggestion from Steve,

I added a few colors,

and some polka dots :)

When I was all done with that

I used reckless abandon

to paint the small square plate

with the same colors.

I can't wait for the platter,

and the plate will just be an added bonus,

no matter how it turns out.

I might even throw a party

to celebrate :)
