Color Color Color!


So today it hit me! 
Not that I didn't know it before but today was different!

 Here I am down with a heating pad trying to manage some pain, bored to tears, getting depressed day after day of this not being able to find the cause.  Cruising through Pinterest and I realize as I create a board dedicated to nothing but color.

I'm 100% completely and totally head over heels in LOVE with COLOR!  DUH!  I KNEW this! 
I've been a hairdresser my whole life and my favorite thing is Color
I love to paint and draw with color
I constantly scan catalogs and design magazines and what do I admire most? The color schemes!
I change my home decor around color..never satisfied. That's because I can never get enough!


Each color palette I pinned I found myself smiling bigger and bigger. My heart began to feel lighter, my mood lifted. No wonder art is so therapeutic.   I've Been doodling in my journal practicing different mediums with no real direction then I thought to myself. Why not dedicate an entire journal to these color schemes. Each page create something using only that palette! So this is my next challenge to myself. I'm so excited to get started but I don't have a blank journal...YET 



Journal Ideas

Color Schemes
Different technique each page (whew, that's a challenge)
All things girly
All things outdoors
All things Inspiration
Vintage

Today, I'm smiling. I hope you're smiling too!

About Me

My photo
So this is the part where I tell you about me. Hmmm well, I'm Lori, mother of 4 grown children, wife of one very kind and patient man, fan of coffee and smoothies, reading others blogs, connecting with friends. I'm obsessed with cars, music and art. Lover of animals as you will see tons of pics of my fur babies. I live in the exciting state of Kansas. No Kansas is not all flat, just most of it! I have been a hairdresser for over 25 years, 12 of which I taught. You can usually find me texting on my phone, watching a good movie, reading a good book, diddling in something artistic whether it looks good or not,playing in the garden, doing hair, cooking,shopping online and dreaming about all the things I think I need but never buy,messing with my car or out and about just driving because it feels good. or just being out and about with my friends or family. I made the dream of Salon ownership happen and I am now a proud grandmother of Loren born July 17, 2011 :-)
